Carolina Panthers Containing Russell Wilson

[sml1950]

If any team can limit Seattle, it's Rivera's defensive concepts. They showed last year that if they maintain their gap responsibilities and stay on their feet against the zone blocking, one cut running game they can hold the Seahawk's to under 20 points. With what should be a much better pass rush up the middle, the DEs need to make sure that they contain Wilson inside the pocket and make him throw rather than run. The LBs will be key to stopping critical 3rd downs, whether runs or passes. While the secondary will probably play mostly zone, they must limit the YAC and not give up the big play.

I believe that if they can play within themselves, we can contain Seattle. Last week against Pittsburgh, they came out too aggressive and were burned by misdirection, reverses and screens on the first series.

Play Smart...Hit Hard......WIN 20-17.

The key to breaking Russel Wilson is to break his confidence. Throw him some curve balls. See how he reacts.

 

 

I'd say it's more important to stop the running game than surprise Wilson (a very elusive guy) with blitzes 

 

edit: and by stop the running game, I mean limit Lynch- near impossible to stop him

Lol dude is as tall as me.

The biggest thing will be endurance. Can the d-line go full steam constantly all game? Can we get decent pressure with different groups on the d-line? CANT TAKE PLAYS OFF! Goes for every game.

I really hope we sign this crazy bastard.  Love this dude.

Control the running game. Been mentioned

Contain and pressure Wilson. Been mentioned

Play ball control and keep the ball out of his hands. Been mentioned

Pretty much it has been covered.

That receiving corp is not a scary bunch. Limit Lynch and you limit the O.

If we play good to great D, this game is ours.

Hope Wilson don't make the trip! :)

Ginn has a great history against them too.

Well said.  Philly got us that way too.  However, the biggest thing we did in this area was to bring in Quinten Mikell at SS.  He is an in-the-box SS (like Mitchell) and he has a lot of experience.

 

Forget hurting Mitchell's feelings, Rivera.  Start QM.

Much of that comes under point #3, keeping the Seahawks offense off the field.

When you get a hand on him you better bring him down, I saw him escape and do some crazy poo at NC State.

Right. I just consider it to be the main thing. Do these guys got enough of air to maintain a high level of play deep in the 4th?
