The Good - Could our starting D look any better? One of the ESPN announcers said, "The Panthers Defense is the best offense I've seen this preseason." We saw how bad it could be against the Eagles but, HOLY S**T!!! I can't remember the last time I saw our D be that dominant. ST's looked good overall except for blown coverage on 1 return. Gotta give Ginn credit, I'm not sold on him as a WR, but we might finally have a dangerous return man. And Gano was nailing the FG's no matter how long they were. For the offense, at least we did not turn the ball over, and have not for the last 2 preseason games. Cam made some tough passes and even ran a few times.
The Bad - HOW MANY STUPID FREAKING PENALTIES CAN WE COMMIT IN 1 GAME??? I think it was in the 3rd quarter we had been called for 9 and over 100 yards. The O Line looked just plain bad. Very poor pass protection and little if any run blocking. It does not matter who the QB is, if the line can't protect him, you will not win. I think there were at least 3 passes Cam put right on the money the receivers dropped (Olsen, Gettis, and Lafell). As good as our D was, the O was just as bad.
Final Thoughts - LLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKEEEE!!!!! It was GREAT to see Beason back on the field. Man, we need help on the O Line. Wharton is looking better and better as a FA pickup. I know, it's been reported that we will wait until teams start making cuts but we need something. A good G/T will help. I know this is the era of "Player Safety" but those were some cheap personal fouls. I could see nothing wrong with Luke's hit. RB Smith deserved it though.
