Opinions: can Panthers produce enough pass rush against Rogers?

The Broncos chased him around all game and made him very uncomfortable.  If he can't sit in the pocket and pick the secondary apart that's a plus. If they can chase him down and put him on his ass when he scrambles, that's a major plus.

Our pass rush isn't as strong as Denver's. Will they risk sending blitz packages against him or hope for the best without fancy blitzes?  If they can't plant him in the ground, it may be a long day.  Opinions?

We wont shut him down like the Broncos did. They blew GB out, we don't have to do that. All we need is to 1 more point. I think we will mix it up. Some blitzes, some 4 men rushes. I'm really hoping Dwan Edwards is able to get healthy by game day.

Allen vs Bakhtiari and Bene vs Cobb are the key matchups.

Bakhtiari is the weak link on the GB OL and Allen has had success against him before. If Allen can generate consistent pressure on Rodgers blindside then we can force Rodgers into taking some early chances on throws.

Rodgers loves to get the ball out quick to Cobb if it's there and if Bene can keep tight coverage on him for the first 3 seconds of the snap then it allows the pass rush time to get to him. Chris Harris, who is probably the best slot CB in the NFL, locking down Cobb was the key to the Broncos defense Sunday night.

We'll find out soon.  We definitely don't have a pair of edge rushers like Ware/Miller, but I have a lot of hope that our pass rush will get much better down the stretch once we get Big Money back and get Dwan Edwards back to help out our DT rotation.  In the meantime, looks like we may get Addison back this week which should help.  Our pass rush looked good against the Colts until late in the game when our current lack of depth was exposed.  The Colts' OL being allowed to tackle also didn't help matters.

Our main problem right now is injuries. Shaq is out, who would be fantastic for LB blitzes. Dwan is back out practicing at least in limited amounts, not sure if he will be ready to go on Sunday, so KK and Star get tired out eventually if the Offense struggles. Addison is out and CJ is IR-Desg-to-Return, so our DE's are having a heart attack on the field by 4th Q. I wouldn't worry about J-No, he will be there. Norwell is out presumably for a few weeks, so get used to seeing Silatolu out there (Ugh why is he still here). 

 

Thank Based God for Ryan Kalil's magic recovery.

Looks like Shaq will be back and Addison was at practice with a helmet today, so that's a good sign as well.

Rodgers is going to locate the weakest link in the secondary and light his ass up. I expect to see alot of three wide with a TE on the opposite side locate who harper is guarding and work him all day.

If they want to make Richard Rodgers the focal point of the passing game they have my full blessing to go right ahead.

They're definitely going to try to isolate Roman Harper in space one on one.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
