Sad to say it but Rivera is kind of like Wile E Coyote sometimes. When he thinks he's being smart, he's actually just setting himself up for failure.

I'm sure he thought this whole defensive scheme change was a great idea. Hasn't worked out so well though.

This defense would be a beast if we had an elite offense to build a lead and then let them protect it. In close games or comeback situations though, it's just not a front seven that can hold up against a balanced attack.

If you had half a brain though, you had to know that depending on Newton to return fully healthy this season was a risk.

I have nothing against Kyle Allen, but I really did believe we'd go into this season with a veteran backup.

It’s the “gap responsible” defense Rivera has used. Kuechly is practically playing defensive tackle by being responsible for one gap and one gap only. Let him be a sideline to sideline guy, not “hey you’re responsible for the B gap” 
 

One guy being out of place in this type of defense is detrimental, instead of in the past where if a D-Lineman made a mistake, they had Luke and TD playing back from depth to clean up.

I'm just saying, I really think this D was built around the idea that we were going to put a 2015-esque offense on the field.

It’s not the scheme. It’s almost never the scheme.  It’s failing to put players in their best position to win plays.

I don’t disagree. Check out the clip above. These are speed rushers vs 22 personnel. Of course they’re going to get gashed.

Exactly, and it’s a horrible way to utilize 59’s Strengths.

Oh, I agree. I just think that notion was probably heavily dependent on the belief that Newton would be back healthy.

We're basically developing a rookie quarterback this year. And while that's not a bad thing, it's not conducive to winning right now.

We discussed this and n the pre-season. Especially Luke being wasted. Didn’t your brother have similar thoughts this was coming.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
