Baldy Breakdowns - Panthers vs. Texans

I think it was Baldy's enthusiasm about our rookies that most grabbed my attention.  Sucks that Jaycee suffered a freak injury.  But love to see how TMJ, Tremble and Hubbard all stepped up when CMC went out. Yes, there will be rookie mistakes.  But playing these guys now in live game reps versus the opponents starters.  Invaluable for their development and bodes so well for the future of the team.  When you know much more precisely what you have in one rookie class, makes it so much easier to scout and draft the next one.  You're not just guessing and hoping that so and so can become a good player based on practice reps.  You already have evidence pro or con on the field.

Makes it more important to my way of thinking that Brady C and Deonte Brown get some playing time.  (But that's a lot harder to do with O line where you don't just sub in / sub out guys as you can do with skill players).

This is a really big concern for me right now. I'd like to know better that we spent our picks wisely on these guys and aren't just following our history of not being able to draft good linemen.

Seeing those turnovers by Sam makes me antsy and good on Paradis for making two big-time fumble recoveries there.

I said it before and I'll say it again :  Rhule and Sam better be working on Ball Security in the pocket 'cause that could come back to bite us the next time it happens.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
