Think Prom forerunner mentioned this but the lack of pressure from the DL is maybe more of an issue than safety atp.

Our DL got plenty of pressure in game 1. They didn't do much game 2, but Tenessee has arguably the best line in the league (definitely top 3). Plus, I don't believe Star played. If we don't get some pressure against the Jags, then be worried.

The position of safety is beginning to feel like wide receiver on offense. We just can't get it right, and something always seems missing. 

Lucas Ewing says it best

"The safeties looked bad, plain and simple. Mike Adams gave up the first touchdown of the game, a wide open score by Delanie Walker; Colin Jones missed basically every tackle he attempted, L.J. McCray was saved by his receiver dropping an touchdown pass and Damian Parms looked invisible on the football field. If the team had decent depth at the position, it would be safe to say that none of these guys would make the team this year . . . at least not with today’s performance."

What a difference a game makes, huh? The thing is, the Titans have a legit offense, and we didn't even see their best receiving corps out there.

And on an off note, the Panthers most certainly need to address covering tight ends, as we were bottom feeders at that last season.

But getting specifically back to safety, I just don't know why Gettleman let Barry Church get away. At some positions we always seem to be penny wise and pound foolish.

 

Are you a UNC fan? 2nd preseason game TD OMGAH. What you fail to mention is that it took 7 plays, with no game planning, after playing each other for a week, I a period during which plays are tried to have their effectiveness in certain situstions....

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
