Unsung Heroes


Khyber53

Recommended Posts

Let's face it, some of our most important players last night were guys few people outside of the core fan base even know are on this team. Most of these are gems that Discount Store Dave has found for us, some have been in and out of the lineup this year, but each of them is the epitome of the heart and soul of this team.

Let's hear it for Kyle Love and Wes Horton having a big night. How about Super Mario Addison making the case again and again that he should be a starting DE?

How about Tyler Larsen coming in and playing center well? Ed Dickson had a good showing, too. Philly Brown was making some plays.

And even though he is a starter, a guy who never seems to get the accolades, Ted Ginn didn't just embarrass that safety on the touchdown pass, if you watched closely, you could see that was Josh Norman whom he had been and jetted past to make that big play.

And that new punter guy, Michael Palardy, he's pretty good at dropping those kicks around the 8 yard line. Not too shabby for a guy who wasn't even in football six weeks ago.

This isn't to take one bit away from our star players, who also turned out in force, but for those who think we don't have depth and quality players at all levels, you might want to look at the team as a whole. The Panthers are going to be just fine from here on out.

Don't mean to rain on your parade. But Ted Ginn had so many drops it was embarrassing. 

But I agree on the others. 

That's expected. I still think he played great and we probably would have lost without him out there. Ginn has been really good this year even with the drops. He and Cam have some chemistry.

Ted Ginn's drop don't even bother me.  I have been conditioned at this point to know he will only catch half his easy balls

Ginn is horrible yet our best WR at the same time.  Kinda need him

He had 2 I know of last night 

Dont get me wrong I like him cause he does get open. (Compared to funch and KB who wear DBs like coats)

but his drops come at the worst times 

And often times his catches come at spectacular moments.

replace the word horrible with mediocre, and I agree 100%. I doubt that he draws a whole lot of FA intrest, so I hope he's back next year.(unless we find someone better)

Speaking of unsung heros... I'm not sure we've been giving Kurt Coleman enough credit.  He's had a couple of big games lately and his takeaways have been a big part of our improvement since the Bye.... He struggled early in the season with all the changes in the backfield, but seems now to be in a good rhythm and once again balling out.

Unsung heroes:

Ron Rivera - has received much crap, but lets face it, he has a winning record as a coach and he has faced a lot of adversity what with a marquee player being accused of assault, the unfair officiating of his qb, his effing house burning down!, and this year a ton of injuries. It's a tough job, but he got his team prepared and held on of the top offenses in the league to 15.

Philly Brown - I think people underrate his fire and toughness as evidenced in the superbowl. he's a fiesty little dude and always seems to contribute. He has two more catches on the year than Funchess.

Also, nick goings and al wallace. I know they haven't played for a while, but they deserve a mention on any "unsung hero" list.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
