Re: Time to take the next Step: Skins vs kitty cats Pre-game thread
This is going to be a tough task offensively. Going from thee worst passing defense (and overall defenses) to one of the thee best passing defenses and best overall defenses.
When I watch the Panthers their defense looks good. They aren't the most exotic defense in the world. But they don't blow assignments, they tackle, they play fast. Although their good they haven't exactly faced the best QBs in the NFL. And good passing offenses have moved the ball through the air against them....NO without Brees, Rodgers (i know, i know he's the exception but we run similar system) Winston even dropped 287 on them. But their defense is hungry, tied for the most INTs in the league.
This going to be a good test for Jay/McVay vs a sound defensive gameplan.
I have a feeling that the Panthers will play the run tough and Jay will be forced to make a decision whether to stick with it or not....and I think he will end up airing it out.
On defense Barry better be ready to play several different run concepts. Power, toss, read-option, veer. They are gonna run the ball and throw chunk yardage passes. I feel like it almost doesn't matter that they're WR are average..Cam isn't dinking he's throwing it downfield posts, outs, play-action.
We gotta put pressure on this dude make him throw quick. We got to mix up coverage on Olsen, if Olsen is split out I would put Cully on him and take my chances with their other WRs.
