Official Panthers - Patriots Gameday Thread


Zod

Recommended Posts

In their most anticipated Monday Night Football game in years, the Panthers seek to establish themselves as a top tier team in the NFL.

 

The Bank will be blacked out and louder than ever this evening.

 

 

On TV: ESPN

 

Radio: 1110WBT

 

I will be tweeting observations and pics starting at 7pm, follow @CarolinaHuddle

 

Keys to a Panthers victory:

 

1. Long sustained scoring drives, keep Brady off of the field.

2. Apply pressure from the front 4, blitzing will not phase Brady. The ball comes out too quickly.

3. Take advantage of Patriots rookie safety Harmon with Ted Ginn on deep routes.

4. Run, Cam, Run. Cam breaking a long run will force the Patriots to rush less and contain more.

keys are spot on, tho i would add throw to olsen early and often and handle gronk like we handled gonzo and vernon.

 

success on either team will have usage of the TEs factored in heavily. i don't think the pats can do well without gronk and i don't think they can do much to stop olsen. the advantage there is with us. cam has very little problem getting the ball to olsen and we do a good job of handling TEs.

    • 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.
