Thoughts/Opinions about Carolina Panthers

I actually like Sanborn against the run far more in coverage. LB fits were terrible last week after he went down.
Anticipation/instincts to the hole don't do a darn bit of good when Sanborn's just too slow to get there.

The problem is, all the rest, Murray/ Luafau/James, are fast enough but have no idea what their proper run fits are or how to execute them.

So one is smart enough but not physically gifted enough to do the job. The other 3 are physically able but mentally inept.

I think Rico needs to buckle that mouth up or get ready to get back in concussion protocol. I mean he probably watched the Giants game and thinks he's gonna eat, but think he's going to get punked out come Sunday afternoon.
 
I kinda think Flournoy is going to go off Sunday again. I think Dallas knows what's @ stake now if they can get over .500 with @ least internal help coming after the bye.

I think if we can clamp down on the run game we will be ok. We just need stops.
 
our Defense is horrific,one some plays the run defense was the worst in have seen.if the Panthers can stick to the run game they can beat us.

Defense really needs another Sean Lee, although one who is healthier
 
Panthers are much different from the Jets. New York has more talent but Carolina is tougher and has better coaching. The quarterbacks are a wash but I am more fearful of Wilson and Hall than I would be of Tet and Rico. This will be a tough game.
Panthers coach is better based on what exactly?

Exactly.
It would be a HUGE difference.
Probably so impactful as to make us legit post season contenders.

IF our middle of the dee continues to be this black hole of ineptitude then we won't get too far against playoff level competition.
Regular or post season(if we make it).

Both Head coaches are longtime OCs with Canales just having 1 year HC experience over Schottenheimer so I think its a tie at best.

I do like Canale's devotion to having a "violent" running attack but Shotty is currently enjoying the #1 offense in the NFL.

I put it at a wash until we see more from both

He was saying panthers coach is better than jets coach. I'm wondering why. You can even add schotty as well. None of the 3 coaches have proven anything

I understand. I was just thinking aloud about his statement and didn't see any advantage over us that we should be concerned with.

He'll still have to answer your question, though.
 
I see a similar team as the Jets defensively, but far more explosive on offense. Carolina has only played 2 games at home and they won both games.

Offense

-Carolina has two huge receiving options. We get to see T-Mac whom the Cowboys were going to take if he fell to them in the draft. Also, Renfroe is a real tough cover in the slot.
-Former Cowboy Rico Dowdle is coming off of a career day. However, he did it against the worse run defense in the league.
-Bryce Young has been up and down throughout his young career
-Their OL is average at best.

Defense

-Kind of like the Jets, have a great DT in Derrick Brown. He isn't much of a pass rusher, but he could be a force against the run. Robinson has always been a high-end run defender throughout his career as well.
-Pass rush is very average, similar to the Jets. Nic Sourton, Patrick Jones are the names to watch.
-Again like the Jets, they have 1 high end corner, but I don't think he will travel like Sauce last week. Play a ton of zone coverage, even more then the Cowboys. Expect a similar type of scheme like we run. Force us to drive the length of the field.

As with any young team, do not give them any early confidence or allow them to get in rhythm. Force them to match score for score against our offense. They is the definition of a "trap game" with Washington coming to town next week. They can ill afford to take this team lightly.
TMac vs Pickens. I hesitantly take Pickens.

Every game in the NFL is going to be tough especially on the road. As you said, don’t let them get any momentum going because that will bring the fans into the game.
