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.

    • I think part of the problem though is Fitts never embraced the rebuild and had a bigger picture plan for building a team. He was constantly trying to add a piece here or there to be competitive. Sometimes you just need to tear it down and start over. Rhule was gone. We were going to be hiring a new coach. New coach means new QB. And whether or not you are using them this year, future 1sts are valuable trading material plus we would have had their 2nd that year to add an edge rusher if we so chose.  How much different would it have looked if the trade for Bryce had been our 1st (9) and the Rams 2 1sts instead of our 24 1st which ended up being number 1 and DJ. A much better scenario for going and getting your new HC his new QB for his new offensive system instead of gutting the WR room. Sure, we would still end up losing Burns, but there was always the possibility that was going to happen anyway.  Self preservation no doubt played a role, but Fitts wasn't looking too hot already. It's never a good thing to see your GM panic in the draft room. 
    • Reason for Stroud's sophomore slump - his oline can't block a beach ball and his receivers can't stay healthy... I think the Titans had to have about 5 sacks yesterday on Stroud where 1 (if not 2) guys came unblocked on a 4-5 man rush. Looks like Stroud is starting to get happy feet in the pocket also because he knows his oline can't block a soul
