Tonight, it’s all about that Green Bay run defense. Carolina’s commitment to the running game is impressive. This week, it should serve as a useful tool in a cold, windy, hostile environment. 

Here’s a look at the Packers against the run, and what Carolina should do to attack it.

This part of the game should be absolutely dominated by Carolina. There are no excuses.

Bottom line: Carolina’s defense is built for teams that pass the ball over 40 times in a game. They built it that way, in part, to counter the NFC South’s offensive firepower. Well, that didn’t exactly pan out in the division this year, but this is the type a game where Ron’s defensive structure and schematics could prove highly valuable. 
 

That’s why I’m putting so much emphasis on the running game. It will loosen up the entire offense, and will force these guys down into the box. When you are averaging 5.1 yards per carry, and your opponent is giving up almost that much per rush, you don’t screw around and get cute. Pound it, get an early lead, and play your brand of defense. The less I have to hear Kyle Allen’s name called on Sunday, probably the better. The conditions don’t seem conducive for a 35 pass type of game.

You'd think Green Bay is thoroughly aware their run defense is bad and they will do everything in their power to shut down McCaffrey and make Kyle Allen beat them. I hope Norv has drawn up some misdirection plays to fool the defense. I'm hoping for a big game from Olsen.

      Yeah my crazy theory is Canales, Morgan, and Tillis watched the film and read the locker room.  They saw a team giving up on a player and frustrated with his production.  Seems like a pretty easy decision from there...

      We'll probably still lose, but I believe we'll be more competitive. I don't think signing another vet QB is wise considering we already have one. I think we should trade for a young QB sitting on the bench. I'm bias, but I would like for us to consider Rattler. Carr is doing very well with the Saints so he may be their starter for a while, so they may be more willing to trade Rattler. I'm not too impressed with the QB draft class for next year. I would rather trade back our 1st round pick for more picks and go BPA. Continue with the rebuilding process, and if Rattler or whoever doesn't cut it, then hopefully Manning will be the guy in 2026. And Tepper has to back off with any decision making.

      Does anyone else think our receivers ball out now?

      I said in another thread, I can’t find a glaring liability on offense. If Dalton can drop some 25+ yard dimes, we have some dudes that can make hay. Picks be damned. I’ll take a 2 or 3 pick day for 35 points on the board. We just need something. A spark. Anything.  We won’t be good, but it has potential to be fun to watch, and the tone in the stadium… hope.
