Panthers at Cowboys Analysis

This week's matchup will revolve around the line play of the Carolina Panthers, both offensive and defensive lines.

Our offensive line was great last week at Atlanta, giving running lanes to our backs and time for Delhomme to throw. This week presents a greater challange especially in keeping Delhomme clean and giving him time to exploit the Dallas secondary. This past week, the Dallas CB's were burned on multiple occasions, in fact both Giant WR caught 10 passes with more than 100 yards each. However, pressure at times from the Dallas front 7 was great and forced Eli to throw the ball away especially in the first half. We must protect Jake and pick up the Dallas blitz packages if we have a chance for Smitty to impact this game. With time, Smith could have a huge day.

As far as our ability to run the football, I was very impressed by the Dallas defense vs. NY. They held the Giants to under 10 yards rushing in the first half and held Jacobs to just 58 for the game. The Giants did run the ball better in half 2 but their running game was not a major factor. This can't be the case this week. We all know that if we struggle to run the ball this game will not be pretty.

The real scary thing about this week's game is the running game of the Cowboys. With or without Barber, Dallas is as good as any team in football at running the ball. Felix Jones is nasty and has the kind of burst that makes him a threat whenever he touches the ball. It is imperative that we limit the impact of their running game and make Romo throw the football (something that has been a problem of late).

When Dallas does throw the ball, we must play the TE better this week than last in Atlanta. For the second week in a row we face a game changing TE in Jason Whitten. Godfrey must play better in coverage as well as T. Davis and Beason. Their WR's do not really scare me, not that they are no good but from the fact that Romo doesn't seem to want to involve them in the offense.

This week will be a big task for the Panthers. Dallas really outplayed NY in many ways last week but lost do to multiple turnovers and some big plays by Manning. I know it sounds cliche but the ability to run the ball and stop the run has never been more important than in this game this week.

      Bryce Young Work Ethic

      By strato · Posted

      Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.

      Team is dangerous right now, all four lines are contributing and the speed at which the guys play at is tremendous.

      And every nfl player wannabe tries to up their draft position through things like the combine and theyre all basically lying though those drills theyve practiced hundreds of times that have little bearing on if theyre a good football player. The pro days are even worse. All you have to do is dupe 1 team. Is it right? No. But until teams put more emphasis on college tape vs. What they did in shorts with no defense it'll happen every year. I doubt there is a single player that wouldn't try anything to up their draft prospects.  Young had years of tape and that shouldve been what the decision was based on. Not a scale and throwing in shorts.  ( btw I think the combine and pro days are 90% a waste of time) Young has it financially made already. It's up to him if he wants to be a good football player too. I think the benching was the best thing that could've happened to him. It remains to be seen if it was enough
