I know today's game was very "boring to watch", but let me say i will take about 8 more of those boring to watch wins all year. The defense was awesome today, they were swarming around making plays. Shoutout to the special teams player who shut down that fake punt on the first series of the game. Maddox had a good game from the corner position.
Didn't hear much of Whiteheads name which means the linebackers did their job when it came to stuffing the run lanes. Henderson on special teams can be just that special. His ability to make one cut and hit the hole is just that, special!
Now to the offense, I'm not a big fan of running the option with a "stationary QB" but with the amount of talent that the Panthers have in the backfield it could pay off dividends in the future. I was disappointed we didn't get to see the spring sensation Moss but I'm betting were gonna see more of him next week.
The passing game won't be dynamite this years but it doesn't have to be. With a mixture of Whitehead and company mixed in getting the ball in space will suffice.
The kicking situation might be something to raise an eyebrow about. We know what Blewitt "can do." We've seen him in the past hit big kicks, Cuse and Georgia Tech last year, however its time for him to grow up and hit the mid range kicks on a more consistent basis.
Overall I give the Panthers a B- for their performance. Could have been better but could have been worse. Nobody got worse and they know whats looming in the next two weeks.
I'm excited for the season and so should everyone else. We're going to see a bunch of no names exceed what they are supposed to accomplish. They aren't the most hyped bunch in the group, but they aren't a bunch of chumps. When the dust settles and the snow is flying in the North East, your going to look at this years panthers and say damn what a fun group of nobodies grow up and be somebodies for the most important victories that we've seen in the past 10+ years.
