Ummm... I dont mean any harm. But watching the game again today. Rocky Mcintosh was not playing well. He was not filling the gaps. He looked slow. I saw three BIG plays..Including the two big runs he could have made a stop or attempt a tackle and couldn't even get there .... one huge catch by Steve Smith & on both big runs by Williams & Stewart.
You know, I watched the game yesterday afternoon and saw the SAME THING! He was directly tied into 21 points! He was either out of position, didn't shed the block or was slow to the point of attack. He played great last year before getting hurt so hopefully he can rebound to nearly that level quickly or it's going to be a long season off on the weakside. We're talking Hwy. 57 all over again.

I hope its just him needing to work himself back into game form. Because he did look good last season. Hopefully he will bounce back to last years form before the Giants game. So I am not counting him out yet. But he didn't look good at all.

Nice, fumble by Betts.
I really thought Betts was down, on his back, laying on a Panthers player, when he was speared in the chest. Should've been a penalty on the Panthers.

Nothing wrong with giving the Panthers credit for being a better team than us. If we see them this season, it will be because we are both playoff teams.

I hope we do meet them and beat the crap out of them!!

Its preseason, and the panthers resent us a ton because of all the fans we still have in the carolina region. The panthers wanted to make a statement. I agree on the rocky thing tho. He did not look very "smart" i am a big believer that doughty stunk up the joint and thats our weakest link on defense, but at the same time..our lbs didnt play well at all.

Moore looked good. He took bad angles on a couple tackles as he doesn't have the recovery speed but, he looks more promising in coverage than Doughty. Therefore he's better suited for SS.

dude...moore or horton looks about on the same page as doughty at this point.
Are there any safetys released that look promising?

Saying that..they are rookies. So if they look like they are on the smae page with Doughty then that's saying a lot. They have upsides. Doughty doesn't. They can develop Doughty should have developed by now he is a vet. I think we are fine at the safety spot until these guys develop. When Landry comes back it will imporve enough (hopefully) until these guys know the defense to the point where the can contribute without thinking as much and can jsut react on play. Because both of these guys have speed and great hitting ability.
I also dont think we should over look Hamilton.
