Panthers F
Review: This team has 21 of 22 returning starters from the 12-4 season last year. That is assuming they are all healthy. This is rare in the free agent period, and had a very solid team.
PreGame: My biggest concern coming into the year was the defense. We lost Ken Lucas, a very skilled Corner who rarely made a mistake. Richard Marshall got that starting job. Marshall is an AWFUL corner. Opposing teams pick on him the entire game. Whoever he is guarding, usually gets the ball. My 2nd concern was the new defensive style of play. We are going to limit our blitzes and try to get pressure with our 4 linemen.
PostGame:
It turns out, an above average QB will be able to pick apart any D if given the time. Granted my favorite player on the D, Chris Harris, S, was out, but McNabb did what ever he wanted with the ball. Beason came up with a big interception early in the game to try and shift momentum, but it really never resulted into anything. The team did better against the run than I expected without Kemoateo who was lost for the year in preason. Still this team was dominated.
Offense: Panther fans have been calling for Coach Fox head for years now. They just don't think his passive play style will work. I disagree. Our OL SHOULD Be one of the best in the game. However, The OL got the worst grade in all the league in my opinion in week 1. We have huge, mobile, proven guys on our line. All who were together last year, and time and time again they gave up a sack, or a penalty. It was pathetic. These guys are much better than that. I am willing to accept that Delhomme is Farve in the fact he is a risk taker, but I am not willing to accept that our Offensive Line isn't giving Delhomme enough time.
As far as our running game goes, I couldn't be more happy with our backfield. D. Williams and Jon Stewart are monsters back there and we should be running the ball with consistency.
We all know about Delhomme. I am not going to address that. I am still hurting inside after Sunday performance. God, we need to get back to our 2008 form fast.. or bench our skilled players and Draft McCoy =)
