Now we can get rid of Gilbert!!!

>> They ain't nobody on the team showed they can get the job done. Thats the problem.

>> But there are individuals who don't suck ... Thats my point. Football is a team effort. ... We need a whole team that plays as a team.

You see anything coherent in those statements? Neither do I. Pardon my rudeness. You keep me in stitches most of the time but I hate frickin naysayers (realists, experts, or whatever the else ya wanna call yourself) when it comes to the Panthers.

everyone keeps crying over our weaknesses like they spell certain doom. granted things aren't exactly rosy looking but as we should all know too well things don't always pan out like they would appear they should on paper

>> Fearsome Foursome ... --to name a few, they were a team effort

uh, and here all this time I just thought they were a foursome. silly me.

 

>>As a team, yes, we suck on defense. But there are individuals who don't suck, particuarly on defense. Jenkins, Rucker, Peppers, Morgan, and Fields in particular. As a result, in preseason, a bit better of a pass rush and a much better run defense than we've had in a long time.

I'd have to add Minter and Grant in there, though not much has been heard of them in preseason. Coming into the year I'd have figured that would be our most solid position. Grant can be left off for now pending his tackling, but he's not missed anything yet.

>>But those things can't cover for our crappy corners.

Sadly. Hopefully, this whole mess of Fox being able to disguise coverages won't clash with Del Rio wanting to run the C2. To me, those are stark opposites - Fox coming from a Seifert (note - not Marshall) cloth in that he runs more 3 with his 2 and spends a lot of time switching up responsibilities.

 

That's true putt. I always got on Gilbert for leaving his gap because he thought the play was going wide. Last year, we had a team problem of playing out of position. Every year, really.

But I haven't seen a lot of people out of position so far this year. Fact is, when you are playing one gap, you improvise less. Becuase if you do, chances are you will be burned more. So hopefully we will see less guessing.

But back to the point, I'm not really talking stats here. I'm talking talent and play. We have to have better corner play than what we've gotten, or it's not going to matter how well the other 8 to 9 (counting nickle) play "team defense."

 

Headcase--now you just being facetious.
I have a right to my opinion and as dumb as you may think I am, I realize that the fearsome foursome were 4 people.
I also hope the Panthers win a title this year. They will still be my team regardless but I have to be a realist about it.
I will refrain from posting my opinion on football .
No hard feelings--you guys just carry on.

please don't lay that on me.

>> and as dumb as you may think I am ...

there you go jumping to conclusions. I wouldn't even dare to get in a war of wits with you as you would dust me. i appeciate the levity you bring to the Panther discussion. And you seem to be a really, sweet caring guy. Just rubbed me wrong when ya said that every one of the guys in black n' blue suck.

 

Thank you HeadCase

I shall continue posting my frequent opinions.
Now everybody has you to blame for my sticking around.
