Remember during the preseason when everyone was saying(include me as well), don't worry, we are not game planning for the preseason.

OR

It's a vanilla defense.

OR

We don't want to show our hand.

OR

This new Defense under Meeks is a run to the ball and attack defense.

OR

We will be fine without Kemo, he wasn't an impact player anyway.

How the tide has changed! Now its:

1) Now Peppers can or should play anywhere.(Can he kick it for a touchback?)

2) Ron Meeks is no better here than with the colts.

3) Jake is the anti-christ.

4) Mark Richardson has kidnapped Peppers and is holding him for a 16 million dollar ransom.

5) Dwayne Jarrett is a excellent player, he just needs a chance.

6) Lets not start with Fox!

Well looks like we got a triple scoop of vanilla, thats how I would describe our game plan thus far. Special teams on the other hand, well that would be a big scoop of crap. A great coach makes a average team great and a average coach makes a mess every other year.

Thats the only way I can see getting him both motivated and him getting pressure on the QB consistently. Even the years Pep had awesome sack numbers they didn't tell the whole story. IMO pressure is more important then Sacks. Any QB in the league makes bad decisions (IE TO's or INC) when under constant pressure and this has never been Peps best strength. Some plays he looks unstoppable while others he can't beat a 2nd string T. He is just inconsistent and for the Money he gets paid that shouldn't be the case.

Trust me I hate the term "vanilla". My point is, we look at our team sometimes with binders on. That is untill games start to matter, then the sky falls. Some of the off-season moves have been questionable at best. As far as Peppers is concerned if a million dollars a game doesn't get you motivated, then nothing will. I remember back in 2006 against Cleveland he was a beast and was Charlie Fryes worst nightmare. He was motivated then, what happened?

      Our rookie class on offense looks promising

      That and so many top tier WRs have had major injuries.

      uh..... no. I'm sure people will take this as me just pushing to draft T-Mac still, but it's not, we BADLY need a true outside #1 WR, whether it's my guy or someone else, it's a HUGE need, especially since we're not going to have an elite QB next year, we need to get the pass catching options to improve our QB play, no matter who that ends up being. I love the potential of XL and even Coker, but if you would take your Panthers fandom goggles off for a moment and look at it objectively, our two leading returning WRs for next season hav 284 and 263 yards through 10 games.   I don't care how good or bad the QB play is, that's a bottom 5 WR room in the NFL, if even that high.  Off the top of my head, the Browns, Patriots, and Raiders are the only teams with a worse WR situation going into next year as of right now (there could be others, but I haven't actually thought about it). XL's ceiling is likely as a lower end #1, but that would make him an elite #2.  I've likened him more as the Waddle/Higgins than the Tyreek/Chase (in terms of role as the Robin to Batman, not style of play) Coker, while we all think he can turn into something, is nowhere near good enough to go into next season as our #2 to XL's #1.  Realistically XL should be the #2 with Coker being the #3, and that still could be asking a lot from Coker at this point in his career. In today's NFL, you're not going to win many games with below average QB play and XL/Coker as your top two WRs, it's nowhere near good enough to be competitive over the course of a season.
