Donte Jackson likely OUT vs Houston

This is by far the biggest injury of the weekend (outside of Cam).

 

Houston has 2 of the fastest WR in the league (Fuller & Stills).  They routinely run 9 routes.  Jackson is our only corner with enough speed to match them.  It's very concerning to have Cockrell or Elliot or anyone else on either of them.   Expect them to attack us deep early and often.

 

Any thoughts on how to mitigate this?

So is he still floating somewhere above Arizona or has he come down yet?

On a serious note, we mitigate this by unleashing Bruce Irvin and Brian Burns on Desean Watson. Their offensive line is terrible and our front 7 should be able to get to Watson at least 6 times this week. Play Cover 3 and 4 and unleash the beasts that we paid so dearly for. That will mitigate Watson's running, provide help to the corners, and help shorten the game assuming we can run the ball effectively.

Go for the Under on the total, go for 6 sacks for the Panthers, and a likely 2 to 6 point victory for either side.

Did he hurt his groin jumping 40 inches in the air?

I honestly have no idea.  He was limited in practice on Wednesday and then completely out Thursday and Friday.  I don't recall seeing him hurt after that and I don't think he left the field.  That's a good guess though.

I expect Houston to abandon the run and throw downfield all day and this game be a shootout. 34-30 area of points. I hope Allen is up to the challenge

This is exactly what I would do.  They have 3 really good WR.  Our secondary will be test big time.  Running intermediate and deep routes will take our LB  out of pass coverage game too and we will rely solely on our secondary to defend (without DJ, this is bad bad news)

Sheesh. 

The season can play out a million different ways as it pertains to the draft. But there's a range where if the pick falls within it that paying Bradberry AND drafting a Fulton/Diggs makes perfect sense. 

Next man up, good thing Cockrell looks decent so far 

Cockrell absolutely looks solid.  But he's not a speed guy at all.  If we have to use him as our #2 CB then we put Elliot in at nickel.  It weakens two positions at the same time.

We need pass rush big time to survive this game because Watson is going to exploit the hell out of this injury.  And KK is hurt too so then our pass rush is losing the best DL we have.  

 

Bad bad bad bad.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
