I love the Ickey pick, I really do. I think he can be a staple in the years to come. But dude, he’s a rookie in his first game showing signs of strain against OK pass rushers. And you have CMC in the backfield. Yet you proceed to pass the ball. This game was on Coaching. Plain and simple. Baker looked horrible, yes. But the coaches NEVER established a rhythm. They only ran the ball some 5ish times in the first half. REALLY? Coaching is piss poor. Our team is too talented to be squandered by less than mediocre coaching. Let’s go Sean Payton or Eric Beiniemy. (EB is who I was wanting when we got Rhule)
Agreed for the most part. This kind of mess along with ‘prevent’ zone defenses lose more games by far than they win. Want to see another ‘disaster’ …. Just watch the Falcons lose to the Saints after having a 16 point lead in the 4th quarter. Soft zone ‘prevent’ defense allowed the Saints to score 17 unanswered and win by one(1) point.
What a joke.!!
As a matter of interest though…. Sean Payton is now part of Fox Sports team. Would he come back.?? I doubt he would want to.!!!
Nah, he wouldn’t come back for the Panthers. It’s just wishful thinking. Our defensive scheme is another thing that gets my blood boiling. I can understand if we’re beat by the pass. That kind of thing happens. But to allow 200+ yards a game on the ground, that’s INSANE. Stop the freaking run, at the very least. FORCE the ball to be in open air, there mistakes can happen. INT’s happen a lot more than fumbles. There’s more variables in the pass game for O and D to consider, than there is the run game. Our defensive issues are once again an issue of coaching, not players. Stop the damn run, no elite defense allows this many rushing yards. We have to be committed to stopping the run first, and disrupting the pass second. An Incomplete pass stops the clock. I haven’t seen a running back YET who can take a 10 yard step. So stop the run, force the pass. Geez, why even get angry… ASU could beat that team fielded yesterday.
