I'm not too thrilled about your pick this week, but as always I appreciate your detailed analysis.

You provide a service that the main stream networks who are on the air 24/7 do not provide as much detailed information as your program does.

I wanted to acknowledge the hard work you put into your company. It looks like a self run business and I hope you are making a decent living. This is what the American dream is all about, following your passion and finding a way to make a living doing what you love. It almost gives me the courage to drop my 9-5 and try to follow a similar path.

 

Thanks for your analysis and I hope your business venture succeeds because you provide a great product. ESPN and NFL network should be ashamed that a startup using Youtube provides more information that they do.

well said.   Might not totally agree but his point of view is based on logical reasoning and I have to respect it.

The bottom line is we are a better team than Jacksonville, with or without KB...no matter how you slice it. 

I get that many think KB was our receiving corps, but in truth, we are solid there.  Funchess has shown himself to be at least solid, Ginn really does seem to thrive in our offense, and despite what many want to think, Cotchery is a good #3 (he was just miscast as a #2 last year).  And that doesn't even take into account Olsen, who is better than any pass catcher Jacksonville will have tomorrow.  And if Philly can find his hands again, he is solid.  So, while we will not be as dynamic as we would have been if KB didn't get hurt, teams will still have to respect our passing game.

I also really think too many pundits do not realize just how much of an upgrade we have on the OL.  They probably look at how bad we were before inserting Norwell, Turner (got healthy), and Remmers, and assume it will be more of the same this year.  Not to mention, they only look at how Oher has struggled the last couple of years (without realizing he was hurt most of that time and is now healthy).  What they don't understand is that our OL should actually be a strength this year instead if the weakness they expect.  And as a result, Cam should have more time to make good decisions and find more open running lanes.  And our running game will be significantly better with a healthy Stewart (who is better than Yeldon at his best) and CAP out there instead of an ineffective DeAngelo. 

I really do think this team is much better than most outside of Carolina realize (and even some inside).  If Ealy is even just solid, our defense has the potential to be the best in the league, and I honestly think our offense is being underrated...even by many in our own fan base.

Their D Line is in bad shape, our O Line is coming into its own.  This is where the game will be won and lost.  We control the line, the have to bring 8 in the box, receivers are all of a sudden much better in the open field.

 

On D, my only worry is our DE's.  If they can get pressure, we are good to go.  If not, it is gonna be a long season.
