In regards to the Meeks hire, which scenario scares you the most?

[panthers1789]

noooo

neg rep

[panthers1789]

Do you guys think we should trade for Sage Rosencoptor?

[megadeth078]

If he works on limiting his fumbles per copter, he can be a real beast.

[Steel Panther]

Reason #4 : Our "fans" seem to relish endless negativism and begin sounding like our opponents' fans before a quality coach and individual even arrives in Charlotte!

Meeks isn't a stop gap or a puppet. He is a bend don't break kind of guy who knows how to coach zone defense. Zone done well can be just as effective as a man coverage. Meeks knows what he is doing and Fox hired him to do a better job than was done by Trgo and Lewis over the past 2 years.

I am not a big passive zone proponent, in fact you could say I absolutely hate it. Still if you are committed to running this scheme as Fox appears to be, then you could do a lot worse than hire Ron Meeks.

I think our back 7 is better than Indy's with the exception of Sanders. Their front line was much more aggressive but sucked at controlling the run.

7. Ron Meeks does really well as a conservative minded defensive coach but looses one game while playing prevent D and the huddle goes crazy.

Also next person to mention that we should cut Richard Marshall has John Kasay kick a ball up their ass.

I agree with you. The thing that scares me the most is that the team wanted to keep Trgovac, and he walked. He wasn't fired. So the team believing he can do a better job? Hmm.. It presents a question.

Rhys Lloyd for extra power

Rhys Lloyd for extra power

He might miss though. Better yet, forget the ball.

8. Meeks does a great job, and moves on to HC of another team.

...it's possible

3. No changes

We been running a soft zone coverage, letting front 4 get to the QB. Same thing Indy ran. No blitzes, no man to man, no bump and run. Thats why dude was hired

Indy had a DL that has been able to get pressure w/ the front 4 like some older Panther teams. We will get abused like we did all this year......next year. It would be like putting Jake in shotgun and going 5 wide all game despite having a run blocking OL and 2 great RBs. We don't have the DL to do that and won't have it next year.

[pantherclaw]

neither of these scare me.

What scares me is so many with so lil understanding.
