Hey fellas,

congrats on your win today, from what i've seen, it appears that you dominated the cheifs. I will be by this week to talk football with you guys about the upcoming game next week in carolina. Take it easy

Go Panthers
 
Yeah, you all are the rival forum of the week. I really think these threads should move to the Rivalry Talk section, and have the TexansTalk section for the Texans! You know, the HersheyBar approach.
 
I'm just hoping that any Panther fan that comes here and talks smack comes back to take the heat when they lose.
 
wow, just stopped in to congratulate you guys on an opening day win, and you act like that...i'm not here to smack it up, but i can guarantee you a great deal of panther fans from the above mentioned board will be.
 
Considering the Texans play the Panthers this is Texans talk, dontcha think?

Most of us can be respectful in our approach, but we all have our 10%.

Of course you came to TexansTalk, but I don't think you understand what I am saying. This section you are posting in now is TexansTalk. We have another called Rivalry Talk where the rival fans come in.
 
Welcome to the board, Carolina Fans! Definitely happy that you guys are here. Let's start swapping out some football insight on our teams and see if we can learn from each other!

Thanks for the offer to join up at carolina-huddle but I'm going to have to decline. You guys have some real characters over there that I'd just rather not read the language that comes out of them such as that BeastMorgan fellow. Whew! What a piece of work. I seriously cannot believe he hasn't been banned.

Once again, welcome! and....
:fans:
 
This thread is in the right forum. Keep it football talk and let the children play in the smack room.

Welcome to the board Panther fans.

Exactly--stay classy and talk about football in here. If all you want to do is muss your claws in the carpet, head to the Rivalry Talk sub forum under NFL.
 
I'm getting signed up over at the huddle, but must admit that the board looks like it's clearly cut in half: those who want to talk smack, and those who want to discuss football. In light of that, welcome to all the Panther fans that are here to talk football, and I'm sorry if some of us seem hostile, a few idiots already have done some nice damage to the reputation of all Panthers fans.
 
Our secondary is pretty good, we have three guys that could start on about any team in the league. They only got 9 INTs last year, but Lucas was injured and Gamble was in a funk all year.
 
Jackofalltrades said:
So, what match up are you guys most looking forward to?

Me? Smith vs Robinson and D-line vs Texas O line.

I agree with that one. If Dunta plays like he has been playing so far, he may be able to keep Smith in check.

I am interested, in contrast, to seeing how our D-line is against your O-line.

Not to sound cocky, but Robinson won't be able to do it alone, it'll take 2, maybe 3 guys. Smith really is just that good.

In my opinion I think the Texans should play more of a zone rather than man. I don't think our secondary is good enough to play man against Carolina.

From what I can tell Drob plays one half of the field and the Faggins plays the other. I shudder to think of Faggins playing Smith one on one.

If the D is going to win this game they had better get creative. Dropping linemen back into coverage and blitzing from different angles.

This game is going to be tough but winnable.
 
Could be, but Lucas is regarded as one of the best in the league. While I don't know much about AJ any more, I do know that you don't hear too much out of whomever is guarded by Ken Lucas.

Deep ball could be the way to go as our safeties are liabilities in coverage. Don't send them across the middle, they might get hurt...ask Isaac Bruce.

I'm not going to lie, the Panthers have the second best (finest) cheerleaders in the NFL. Of course the Texans are first.

Don't worry about johnsonfan. He's our resident dingleberry who has nothing to contribute. You just have to pat his head and smile then walk away.

I responded to your post in the other thread but I didn't mean for it to get left in the 'smack talk' forum. Here it is...

He has good accuracy, but it's easy to see that Delhomme is the clear leader of the team and would suffer without him.

We learned a lot about our Panthers today. New OC likes a lot of pre snap motion and like to keep the opposing D guessing, something we're just not used to.

We also involved the TE in the passing game, my heart nearly stopped.

The Texans may be able to cover Smith with 2-3 guys, but that'll open up the running game or other receivers. The Smith effect is far reaching.

My biggest concern is containing Steve Smith. Our secondary is terrible and probably is one of the worst DESPITE us having Dunta Robinson. That's how bad it is out there. We have about 6 strong safeties but no free safety. That's a huge concern. Then we went and traded for ANOTHER strong safety in Boulware ALTHOUGH.... he's definitely an upgrade over everyone else. Then we lose two major players in Glenn Earl and Jason Simmons. Oh yeah, I'm worried about covering Steve Smith.

Now I wouldn't think that Steve Smith is quite all that physical when one were to compare him to Andre Johnson or a similar player. Steve Smith is the kind of player who turns on the rockets and you'd best catch him or you can forget about it. If I'm wrong on this, please correct me. I'm only going by the numbers on his NFL page which shows Smith to be on the small side.

I believe that if we can contain Steve Smith, we'll be fine and we can talk about this game remaining competitive down the wire which is what most football fans want anyway! Makes it fun!

As for defense, I think we have more raw talent but yours has blossomed thus you should be able to contain us there.

I'm banking on the difference in this game is going to be special teams. It would be best for the Panthers if it didn't come down to special teams. We rock.

Last year, Carr was pretty much ONLY throwing to AJ and so everyone was doubling him and he still caught 103 passes. He's really big and he's really fast. He's also not afraid of contact.

Jacoby Jones is our 3rd round pick and he'll probably be our #2 before mid-season. He's big and insanely fast (4.24 40 best recorded time) and he's got good hands.

Kevin Walter is a good possession receiver. He's got at being in traffic and catching balls while getting hit.

Owen Daniels, our starting TE, is a great receiver that a lot of people overlook.

The good thing about Schaub is he's good at finding the open guy. He's got pretty good pocket presence.

So, yeah, I'm interested in seeing your secondary against our receivers. I think it's going to be a good matchup.
 
"ya'll better have some answers on defense too, we have more than a few weapons this year. our offense did fine moving the chains today, but looked a little out of sync. i'm sure kubiak will have it back into a comfort zone by next week."

Shut the Rams out last year, bottled them up today and only allowed one TD, they're the second best O in the NFL. The best O in the NFC...we stopped twice last year.

" Steve Smith is the kind of player who turns on the rockets and you'd best catch him or you can forget about it. If I'm wrong on this, please correct me."

He's very physical actually. He's got an incredible verticle leap, phenominal balance and body control AND is deceptively strong.

Our ST's, except the punter, suck so far. If Dante Hall wasn't old and used up, he would have had a kick return for a TD, luckily he's slow and was chased down by our nickel back.

"Do the Panthers assign their CB's to a WR or to a side of the field generally?"

They actually mix it up. We also play a lot of zone, which most fans aren't fond of, but with ok safeties last year and two beat up CB's we still managed to be the 7th ranked D in the league last year.
 
dont know much on the dl possitions: where will williams line up, over the rt or lt?

if he lines up over the rt, i will be a bit conserned thats our weak spot. i am wondering if you all will fall to sleep on king. he quietly racked up nice production from the te spot for us, something davidson loves to employ.

AJ is gona be a rough matchup he will get his for sure, just like holt did this week. can you run the ball though our front 4, i dont think so. the rams have a stout offense, not just 1 guy (like lj and the chiefs) to count on, and still got baffled in the 2nd half. i think itsgona be close for 2 quarters and we pull away in the 2nd half.

the key to the game like alot of people mentioned here, is who get smore pressure on the qb? thats gona shape this game (i dont see either team running very well, unless its late and someone is up 10+). jake is great with time a ticking time bomb with pressure. if we can get to matt, we can disrupt timing to AJ. mario is gona be a stud for you all, i hope he turns it on after next week though :)

Mario normally lines up over the LT but we bounce him around to the RT quite a bit and that's normally where he's most effective. He doesn't have the quick first step that Peppers has but he's very strong and once he gets going, he's pretty fast. He can chase things down and he's usually around the ball.

You'll also see pressure from ND Kalu and Shantee Orr from the d-line. We're waiting for Amobi Okoye to grow into the position. You'll see all our d-line shifting positions and rotating in and out quite a bit.

Right now, Matt's best feature is his ability to read the defense and identify where the pressure is coming from. When he has to, he gets the ball out quick and on time.

I'm hoping that we're able to get to Jake and disrupt his timing. One of our big problems, coaching-wise, is that our defensive coaches really don't want to blitz. They want pressure from our front four alone. Last year, our first three games were horrible because they refused to blitz. Once they started blitzing, we were fine. I have to go back and watch this game again but I don't think we blitzed more than a handfull of times against the Chefs. I'm hoping we'll bring more pressure against you guys.
 
The Panthers look solid all around.

Steve Smith scares me.

Julius Peppers scares me too.

Their 2 running back punch of Foster and Williams is a good ground game.


We have to get pressure on Jake on Defense and protect Schaub on Offense.

I think Carolina is the better team right now, but a few breaks and solid play from our guys and we can win this one.

Perhaps go to nfl.com and check out the video of AJ's 77 yards reception. He is a huge deepthreat. We also have playmakers up the middle so your, the Panthers, defense will have to be disciplined.

I agree the Panthers defense is good. Schaub will have to control the game well and try and keep good field position throughout the game.

roflmao. thats exactly what panther nation has been crying about for the last 2 years aw well. sounds like 2 teams with a very similarstyle going at it next week. might be the team that plays agressive and not conservative (like normal :gun: ) that wins. gona likely be a defensive battle, not a shoot out imo. wouldnt be surprised if its inthe low teens.
 
I'm real interested to see how our pass defense handles their pass offense. I know its broad, but their pass rush can do some damage and they have some talent at CB (I was pushing for us to trade with Chicago to draft Marshall). The key will be stopping the big play, but I'll go more into that in my weekly preview.
