PREDICTIONS!

Duke Robinson Starts at some point. Greg Hardy is a starter by the end of the season. Sharrod Martin leads the team in INTs.

 

I could see Cleveland making the playoffs, but it won't be because of Jake. It will be because of their nightmarish wildcat package. Plus, they might have the best all-around secondary in that division.

 

I predict

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

 

defense will be active. The secondary will have more mistakes, but will retain top 10 status throughout most of the season. The DTs will be better than we expected in the offseason but we still won't be that good against the run. Not unlike last year it'll be inconsistent. The defense will still work as a better unit than the offense based on yardage.

I really have no thoughts or opinion on our pass rush. We have many more options than last year, both at DT and DE, and we'll need them. I'll even be interested to see Beason and Norwood outside blitzing.

Moore will have ups and downs, I can definitely agree with that - he'll inevitably have games where he looks like the Moore we saw the rest of the time and not the late 07 and 09 Moore. I don't get why there's such a big difference - the one that wants to throw picks every other play or the one that throws big TDs and stays efficient.

we'll have to use a bunch of different WRs. Wallace Wright will catch 10 balls or more. Armanti Edwards won't play in the first six games.


we'll play more 2TE than ever, and 3 wide will replace 2 back while we work on our fullback transition, in how we're using it. We'll play some fullback, but only from I.

none of this will reflect our preseason groupings.

 

• The Panthers end the Jarrett debocle
• Panthers finish at 8-8 and Fox leaves
• Mick Mixon gets caught in a rest stop sting with 5 men showering him with man sauce

 

Tank Tyler will develop into a beas'.

 

Beason will be back inside before camp ends, but not because he wasn't good at WLB, but because Anderson was awful at SLB.

I can't say whether it'll be Williams strong or weakside, but we'll shuffle and Beason will be in the middle and Anderson will hold down the weakside of the bench.

 

If Anderson sucks I think they should put Norwood at SLB. Fox would probably have a high pucker factor having two young new guys at linebacker. I think Connor should stay at MLB as long as the DTs are doing their job and he stays healthy.

This D isn't going to gel for a few weeks into the regular season.

As usual, we will keep two big blocking WRs and 2 pinball WRs. AE will be STs

The battle for the 2nd Blocking WR is between Gettis and DJ.

Duke will win the RG if the coaches are successful fueling a fire under his ass.

Looking forward to seeing the new guys tonight. There will be slop.

 

2-14

 

I'll buy Hardy and Martin, but not Dukey.
