Panthers D morale

[Wolfpack352]

Is it just me or anyone else notice that anytime a camera pans across the face of a panthers defender like Luke or Davis......the team spirit just seems gone?  There is no longer any dancing, barking, amped up antics and etc when a good defensive play is made.  Just the occasional slap on the butt saying "Good job but we still gonna lose" vibe.  Meanwhile the opposing defending team are gunning, barking but have bite, high fiving, hollering pussy cats at the offensive linemen, chest bumping and etc...I sure miss those days!

Hard to get too excited when you are one of the bottom ten defenses in the league.

[Cuttinedge]

Hard to get excited about a great play on 1st or 2nd down. When u know the other teams getting a first down on 3rd and 15.

Captain’s  man is always open for a big gain either a missed tackle or  he’s got his eyes in the backfield letting his man get 5 yards behind him

They looked defeated before the game was over. They looked defeated after Pittsburgh broke their spirits. They are defeated.

People blame it on Munnerlyn,.. but Bradberry too gave up huge,.. and I said that against Baltimore he gave up huge gains but the receiver dropped the ball from Flacco several times that game.

Bradberry sucks,.. our whole secondary sucks actually— we need to draft and sign and entire DB roster,... Safeties and Corners.

just blow up the back 4 and half the front 7 and start over. 

pay Peppers whatever he wants to play another season or 2 while we draft people. Poe I like too regardless of the hate people give him— at least I see him going into double teams,.. Kawann needs to be traded— got all fat am happy after that contract.

Panthers lost their swagger when Norman left and was replaced by a bunch of players who are either out of the league or not very good at what they do. And this team misses Star (or at least a comparable talent) badly. 

I like the core of Reid, Jackson and to a lesser extent Bradberry to build around; however, this defense has aged pretty badly this year regardless and needs a culling.

The Panthers' secondary has yet to truly recover from Gettlemen's poor handling of the Norman situation. And the fact our best answer thus far (AJax) had to be taken over Rivera's objection is only more reason to look for new leadership at both GM and HC.

The defense is not doing my morale any good.

Bradbury is not pro level...way too slow and has no ball skills

Bradberry has also never had a true veteran corner come in and show him the ropes. Captain doesn't count. He's lacked real competition.

[Silent Majority]

D line is fat. They have weak bases, small arms and big ass guts. I could deal with a fat naturally strong guy like Gilbert when he played for Green Bay or Wilfork. Love, Poe, Kk et al , are just fat guys.

Captain also has a history of not wanting to help players out that can take his job. Look at Norman and his interaction in the past

So true about Bradberry. He's done about as good as you can expect with minimal coaching and on the field mentorship. It's no surprise that Josh Norman's play took a huge step up when he got to work with Charles Tillman.

Well that sucks for him, because I think that I could some in and take his job these days.  Dude is fuging trash, so is his little midget twin Corn Elder.
