Our line played horribly against the bills so it could happen

 

against buffalo and seattle we were facing mobile quarterbacks against which the defensive line was coached to crash the backfield first, diagnose second, with the goal of simply disrupting the play. these types of breakdowns are more escapable for mobile quarterbacks who are more likely to make a play by either escaping the pressure and running or gaining time to hit an open man. to this end we were also playing a cautionary contain strategy against wilson and manuel.

 

with eli we saw a different strategy, and i don't think it just worked because the giants line is bad (they aren't world-beaters but they aren't as bad as advertised.) our next four quarterbacks are carson palmer, christian ponder, sam bradford, and mike fuging glennon (followed by matt ryan, who, while the most dangerous of the group, is just as immobile as the worst of them.)

 

i expect this defensive line to get hot quick.

Good post, Phil.

 

My only disagreement is I don't think Jerry's commitment to win is 'newfound'.  People that have worked with him would tell you he's always wanted to win.  I'd say he just hasn't done very well at knowing how to make it happen.

 

Having Gettleman around should be a huge plus on that front.

 

While his commitment to winning has always been, its possible he now realizes his personal involvement has a positive impact on everyone.

 

It was really strange watching him walk around the field and so close to the players doing the drills. I've never seen him do that. The players definitely noticed him. He pulled Charles Johnson aside and spoke to him. Not sure what he said.

management by walking around. it can have a very positive effect on the employees.

 

i hope he keeps it up. i'm sure it would mean a lot to the players for him to do that, although i know he's kind of limited in his ability to do that all the time.

years down the road i think we'll look back and realize this is the moment when cam had a paradigm shift as far as his role on the team and perception versus reality. that thomas davis story about the weight room speaks volumes and makes sense of cam's personality as an introvert and how it's affected his interpersonal relationship with the team. i think it's clear he's broken away from that, has learned what it takes to lead a group of men, has learned how to be one of the guys while also standing out as a leader.

 

can't wait to see what happens the rest of the year

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
