ROTFL...

Any truth to the rumor that Matt Rhule was placed on IR today?

 

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.

As a matter of interest.... Derrick Henry and the Titans got handed their asses when they took on the Giants.  The Giants and new HC Daboll went to Tennessee and took on Derrick Henry and shut him down. The game WAS close and in fact was decided in the last minute on a missed Tennessee Field Goal. But ..... here's the thing..... The Giants beat them at their own game. Using Saquon Barkley as the hammer, they drove the nail into the Titan coffin with a 2-point conversion by, you guessed it, Saquan Barkley. The Giants and Barkley led the league in rushing in week one (1).  YEP, more than the Browns against the Panthers..... Giants TEAM rushing = 238 yds on 32 attempts = 7.2 YPC.!!  Barkley = 164 yds on 18 attempts = 9.1 YPC.

AND THAT..^^^^, is what we face next week..... AT NY..!!! 

I miss Luke Kuechly
