Panthers Pre game thread

I still say we win Sunday just to tease us all again

If this opens, check out Harris running wide open to the corner, Alex looked his way at first and then came back to him too late. This is the Smith we feared would come to Washington, we need that gun slinger Smith from KC.

god please may this team just eclipse 7 wins so i can win some money on what i thought was a decent betYes please.

Try that ^

You forgot a few things:

- Never wins more than 9 games in a season.
- Doesn't score any points in the 3rd quarter.
- Goes 9 or 10 quarters in a row without scoring a TD on offense.
- Never seems to win on the national stage.
- Hires top assistants but still can't play pass coverages or pickup DL stunts.
- etc., etc, etc.

Yeah, it wasn't a complete list. But on a game by game basis over a season, they stick out the most to me.

What happens when it's 2nd and 11? It's easy to say "run the ball!" We're not the Saints but we're also not the 91 Redskins. We aren't good enough to just show up and run people over. We have to have balance. We have to get the ball to Reed who has been a non factor.

1st down play calling in general has been a huge issue. By hook or crook we need to find better ways to improve our per play average on 1st down. 2nd and 4, the whole playbook is open. 2nd and 8, its typically going to be a pass, especially with Gruden.

Balance in the run pass and balance on what downs we do them would be nice. Gruden just gives up on the run too easily.

Predictable play calling play calling on 1st down has been an issue for a while now.

On Cooley's old, he would lament Gruden sticking with the "duo" run play over and over despite the lack of success.

So sick of it.

With regard to your second point, I like the idea of balance in the abstract because balance represents the notion you mention, being able to draw from the entire playbook.

I like, however, the how the patriots are willing to completely disregard the notion of balance for the sake of balance.

They find a defense's weakness and exploit it over and over until the D adjusts.

Whether it's running 4 draws in a row or 5 short in routes in a row, they try to step on the D's neck.

So according to Dan Steinbergh, Josh Norman is becoming somewhat of a cancer on the team:

So here's something. Kevin Sheehan, longtime host of the Skins pregame show, reported on his podcast today that Josh Norman was benched last week for not taking his headphones off during Gruden's halftime talk. Here's Sheehan's report. Listen here twitter.com/kevinsheehanDC…

If thats true, that's not a miss a series suspension. That's a you're suspended as long as I'm allowed to, pursuant to the labor contract. We can get no interceptions without you. He's been giving up ass all season and he's upset?
