Article from Denver Post on Carolina running game...

The support for the guy's argument is that they didn't allow Larry Johnson another big game the second time after on he had earlier in the season against them. Terrible argument. LJ hasn't had a big game all year since his legal troubles mid-season and I think he only had like 2 good games before that.

Oh, and they've reduced their yards per game allowed by 32.3 yards to a 23rd best 122.00 yards per game..

We'll see what Deangelo and JStew have to say about that on sunday

They lined up in their traditional 4-3 set in the Sunday rematch against the Chiefs at Invesco Field at Mile High and held Johnson to 3.3 yards a carry, with no run longer than 11.

They held Johnson to 3.3 yards a carry? We held him to less than that the whole game.

It sounds like they're trying to address their defensive line woes. I just hope we address our own secondary issues.

Interesting comments...I particularly like the one about Carolina's run game being more of a finesse run team...and how they are going to stop the run with 7 in the box...

A finesse run team? That's quite an oxymoron.

Next they'll start talking about our smashmouth passing attack. Wait, that might actually be appropriate knowing we have Steve Smith. ;)

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
