Panthers - Jaguars Gameday Thread

Panthers vs Jaguars 

Kickoff is at 1:00 in Jacksonville. 

The weather here is amazing. 80 degrees and sunny for the game with low humidity. 

 

I will be tweeting from the field today. Follow @CarolinaHuddle on twitter

 

The Panthers today have a very winnable game and the opportunity to start fast in the race for the division. The most difficult portion of the schedule begins in a few weeks. It is extremely important to win these games against lesser opponents. 

Keys to Victory - 

- Run early, run often. With two very capable running backs on the roster and an improved offensive line, the Panthers should be able to move on the ground. 

- Stretch the field - At least one big play of 30+ yards is needed today from Ginn or Brown. The Panthers cannot face 8 in the box all season long and expect to win. 

- Kony Ealy - Ealy must show why he earned the starting right end position. Charles Johnson and KK Short will be double teamed at times. Ealy must win his 1 on 1 matchup.

I expect to see the receivers moved around. I expect to see two tight end sets... with Funchess possibly getting a few reps from the 2nd spot. I expect to see Cotchery as reliable. And I expect to see Greg being Greg. 

Offensive sleeper: Fozzy Whitaker 

Excited to see how Fozzy and Ted Ginn's presence on special teams effects field position. 

Expect to see the defense cause the offense to turn the ball over at least once.

And pound the crap out of that ball.

    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up. 
    • Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him.
