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.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

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

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
