After game 1, what are you concerned about?

With the attacking D we will employ, the CB's will have to have a quick step as the ball will have to come out early.

I'm worried about nothing right now. Things looked better than last year and we have time to develop a winning team. I'll worry if we are losing games and our players play terribly.

2. Cam Decision Making

I lol'd.

On-topic, I'll say...

1. #2 WR spot, we can't have too many of those endzone drops in the regular season.

2. DE pressure, our DT's (which many viewed as our weak link of the front 7) played the most solid.

3. fuging QB protection.

how well they improve in game 2

#1 concern is still the cornerbacks. Had Eli Manning not sucked Hakeem Nicks would have had a huge game. Saw a lot of receivers getting good separation.

I didn't like us on 3rd down.

Impossible to evaluate on one preseason game when half our starters didn't play.

[Davidson Deac II]

Not too worried about DE right now since Charles Johnson didn't play.

Hardy didn't play either.

Good eve, #PanthersMafia

My first of two flings re: Saturday's win over NY. This article is just a "quick hitter" piece that covers my observations. A more comprehensive follow-up to come tonight, early Monday AM.

Thanks for the support of so many here.

The competition in the NFC South....

• Third down conversions
  
• Jimmy holding the ball too long
  
• Too many dropped balls
  

I know a lot of wrinkles will iron out over time, really too soon to critique yet.

1) - WR's - I've watched the game twice, and in man coverage our WR's just don't get any kind of good seperation. This makes it hard on our QB's, and makes their passes, read, play that much harder. By far the biggest concern, and one I think will last through most of the season.

2) O-Line play... Hopefully it was just 1 game, and them learning their assignments, but they wiffed a lot in that game abd put our QB's in no win situations... Not just letting why guy go, but multiple at times.

3) Game shape of our star players - A lot of our key core players have been sitting out a lot, and the team is being very pre cautious. With so little practice team, and a system I have concerns over how ready they will be game 1.

Jordan Gross gave up 2 should of been 3 sacks, that bothers me.

Kind of hard to be worried about anything after the first pre-season game. If this were mid-season, I'd be worried.

By the way, how can Jimmy dump off too quickly AND hold onto the ball too long. Aren't those exclusive of each other?

Bc if Jimmy doesn't dump it off he often looks downfield and doesn't pull the trigger when he should.....that result in a missed opportunity and he throws away or then dumps it off.

But I thought he did better Sat.....he is showing improvement in comparison to last year.
