The Boys have not recorded a sack yet this season. I did not watch their first game but saw on Sunday night, they got in the face of Eli often. He impressed with his play but unfortunately do not see Jake stepping up in the pocket or buying much time. Atlanta did bring a few blitzes last game and we held up pretty well, but that scheme is nothing compared to what Ware and them is gonna bring. They seemed to keep the Giants run game in check except for one run by Jacobs. I know they will be hungry, just hope we have a good game plan. One has to come around sooner or later.

Otah will own Spencer, Ware and Spears depending on who he sees. Kalil on Ratlif should be a good battle. Kalil will probably need some help from Wharton and Vincent. Ratlif isn't huge but he's quick. Wharton and Gross should hold their own. I think Gross has a good game against Ware.

This game will give us a chance to get our backs the ball in the flats. We know they will bring the heat and the safeties will have to pick up D or Stew, but they should be open for a second in the flats and have a chance at one on ones outside. I have a feeling we will need the pass game to open up the run a bit. Manningham tore up there secondary and the other Steve Smith got open a lot as well. They will key in more on 89 b/c he is our known weapon and the Giants don't have a number 1 so that helped out Manningham a bit. Jake will have to step up in the pocket and I unfortunately see quite a few batted balls at the LOS.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
