Turner > LT. This much is clear.

There is a big difference in the Panthers D and the Lions D.

Please don't feed the trolls.

He got you to respond.

I know, but it shouldn't matter for a mega-stud like LT. 8 rushes for 33 yards after starting out with a 14 yard run is pretty sad. Maybe he'll pick it up. It doesn't look hopeful, though.

LT is always a bit slow in his first preseason game.

 

[JerseyEagles]

How is Gates looking?

He's in the locker room with a hip injury.

What?

Fair enough. Let's see how he does in the second half. Maybe they'll actually utilize him.

However, he seems to be back in the lineup to start the 2nd half.

 

[metoo]

lol at this split in carries. I own Williams and Stewart, looks like there's gotta be an injury for any type of studly production...

The way that team has opened holes in the first half, they could both be studs this year. 112 yards between them and that doesn't flatter them. The Carolina running game has been tremendous in the first half, and they have 282 yards of total offense in one half on the road against one of the best teams in the league.

THe running game has looked good but for some reason when they get in the red zone they want to start throwing. When they went for it on 4th and goal, how do you not give it to Williams or Stewart?

 

[omally]

whoa, that was close.

 

[Despyzer]

Lucky bounce of the ball for the Panthers there.

[Despyzer]

Also of note, Pro-Bowlers Marcus McNeil and Nick Hardwick are both out of this game, and Pro-Bowl LG Chris Dielman is still nursing an injury. That's why the Chargers keep running to the right instead of the left, which is where Tomlinson prefers to run.

 

[omally]

Panthers don't need to be getting pass happy. The ground game is working.

Exactly. I don't really understand some of the play calling.

 

[Despyzer]

I've yet to see Tomlinson make any kind of a cut. Maybe's he's not fully recovered.

Or maybe he's just getting old and worn out.

Vincent Jackson getting any looks?

 

[tech]

Anyone know of a site that will show qty of carries of a certain yardage over the last few years? In other words, how many 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc yard carries a player has had? I have been an LT owner in our keeper league for five years (a very grateful LT owner), but I swear he has more carries of two yards or less than any RB I have ever seen.

 

[Despyzer]

Not a one.

 

[JerseyEagles]

Update on Gates Despyzer?

bummer

 

[Lambert]

For those of you watching the game, any thoughts on TE Dante Rosario (currently 5 catches for 71 yds)? One week wonder or great waiver wire pickup or somewhere in between?

 

[Despyzer]

Update on Gates Despyzer?

Nothing new. Carolina had the ball for quite some time there.

I'm impressed with I have seen. Very athletic - has drawn comparisons to Gates. But then again, all the Panthers have looked good on offense today.

They plan on using him and King a lot in two TE sets this year.

 

[Despyzer]

Catch for a first down and then a fumble.

 

[Lord Lucan]

You can't challenge the play clock, can you? Snap was a good couple of seconds after zero on that fumble/strip play, but not called.

 

[Despyzer]

bummer

catch for a first down nullified by a hold

I think he's the panther TE to have.

Yes, easily.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Has Carolina even tried running the ball in the second half?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Who doesn't like Gates?

 

[Despyzer]

Not as much as they should have. Apparently they are trying to get the Chargers to give up on their 8-man front and take advantage of man-to-man mismatches.

 

[EdwardCat]

Sorry LT owners. Looks like the loss of the o-linemen really hurt him this week. Besides the Chambers TD, Rivers has looked mediocre at best.

He's looked great on this drive.

Please don't feed the trolls. EdwardCat watches less football than anyone on this board. He never has anything intelligent to say and is just trying to goad some kind of reaction out of you.The post you referred to is a perfect example. Rivers has been under constant pressure the entire game and has had to bail out of plays time and time again, and yet he has completed 16 of 25 for 2 TDs. In no way, has he been mediocre. In fact, the best coaching move of the entire game has been to unleash Rivers on that last drive.

 

[T Bell]

Why has Peppers been so quiet? Have they been doubling him all game?

I expected to see more out of him this game given the OL injuries to the Chargers.

 

[timschochet]

Wow. And he had the 1st down, too.

You really need a life, Despyzer. I've never seen someone so eager to insult people.

Good point. I have no idea. A couple times he has dropped back into the passing lanes, and he has been close to a few sacks/pressures a few times. He just hasn't finished the job.BTW, that ball looked down to me.

Is this the year EdwardCat is finally right about LT? And if it is, does this make him any less wrong in previous years?

I won't respond to him until he gives Rudy back his underwear and credit cards.

Looks like that Hackett fumble is going to be very costly.

Is this the year you grow up? Wait and see! I'm sure you'll make some serious strides but fall short around playoff time.

 

[Despyzer]

Considering Tomlinson is averaging almost 4.5 yards per carry and is on the verge of breaking 100 yds in this one, it's not looking likely.

 

[Despyzer]

As bad as SD's defense has looked, this game is WIDE open.

 

[omally]

That TD hurt. Come on Panthers.
