Around SBN: Roy Nelson Willing to Pay for His Next Opponent's Drug Test

CSR Monday Night Football Open Thread

We've got an NFC South show down tonight that normally would have zero impact on the Panthers. But Fox has decided that if the Falcons win tonight then the Panthers vs. Saints game next Sunday has a little more meaning and they will flex it to a 4:15pm kick off. I could really care less what time we play but I would like to see the Saints have something to play for. I want to beat Drew Brees when he is trying to win.

Either way we will be talking Panthers...

This is Now a MNF Open Thread!

Falcon victory

this way the game Sunday will be sweeter beating the Saints with their starters. I want the best team on the field Sunday. If the Panthers beat them then, it will be the best feeling going into the off season

I'm cheering for the Refs. I want twenty penalties worth of production out of these guys today.

ACC Championship Member Brandon Thompson is the new Jacoby Ford. You better pick him Panthers or you will be doomed to relive the 2010 season over and over again in the Twilight Zone.

I want the Falcons to win because I have on respect for the Saints and their fans.

Ha Ha!

Speaking of penalties. This is one of the main areas the Panthers need to improve next year. IMO this contributed to a few losses this year. The Panthers will finish in the top 5 in the league this year….. That ain’t good.

We have lots of areas to improve.

But we’re clearly progressing week to week.

On a U related note, that’s what Al Golden has managed to do. He’s made the Canes much more disciplined (I know you guys don’t care about the stats so I won’t go and find them). Like most sports, if you play sound fundamentally and don’t beat yourself with penalties you tend to win a lot of games. Hopefully this is something Rivera focuses on next off season.

Hello Panthers fans!

I’m a Titans fan, but check out what I just added to my jersey collection (xmas gift!)

Fully stitched and everything. I seriously love this jersey.

Good!!!

I am glad to hear that. I forgot about SF. They may be that team that takes out GB. I don’t think GB has a good enough defence to get them their this year. Heard them say that the D have given up more yards than their O has this year. To me that is a red flag.

Uh if the saints lose tonight then they will play to the

division, not for a bye. As the 49ers would clinch the 2nd seed due to a better conference record.

I think Newton requires less specialization than Brees, which is probably a good thing

The reason the Saints can’t run the ball for beans is they have to pay for phenomenal guards to make up for Brees’ height, sacrificing top OTs in the process. Brees can’t play against inside pressure worth a damn. A spread no-fullback team that can’t run off tackle is a weakness derived entirely from Brees’ physical limitations.

I honestly don't know how to stop Brees and neither does the NFL.

If you blitz he finds the guy the blitzer is meant to be covering. If you rush 4 he finds space in the pocket and shreds you. If you play man or zone he finds the open guy. Shade deep he goes short and vice versa.

Mike M and the dc, they want both gone. Can’t blame them with conservative playcalling every week.

You know Gregg

Williams is going to tell his guys to hit Cam hard and maybe beyond the whistle, judging by the fact that he does run a bit…and the recent hype he’s getting. Williams coaches his guys to do that stuff.

I’d hope Chud scales back on the read-option stuff this week.

Hard to stick with the run when your interior

linemen struggles in run blocking. Along being behind in games. They should play bump and run coverage, giving 5-7 yards cushion is very stupid.

Brees is the only QB in NFL history

with two 5,000 yard seasons. Amazing how his career transformed when he signed with N.O. Sean Payton is a brilliant playcaller and deserves a lot of credit.

He was very good in San Diego too, they just went with their highly drafted QB after his shoulder injury.

To be fair he was a long shot to come back from that injury – that’s the amazing thing.

by OldhamA on Dec 26, 2011 10:36 PM EST up reply actions  

He was ok

IIRC he had one pro bowl caliber season. Dilfer thinks Payton’s offense is very QB friendly. I think a few guys could put up numbers in that system, maybe not to the volume of Brees(cus he’s amazingly accurate with the ball), but its there.

Life is what you make it brothers....

60% completion percentage, 3 3,300+ yard seasons. Positive TD/INT ratio.

Obviously nowhere near what he’s done in N’Awlins (or else the Dolphins would have backed the truck up), but more than respectable.

In all honesty, I know we all think Chud will be gone next year butI just dont think its his time yet as a HC, yes he has had a great year but dont you think teams will want to see consistency and see how he does in a season with no lockout? And im sure Rivera and Hurney talked to Chud before the season started about being long term. Lets not forget how awesome Rivera was a D coordinator all those years and look how many years it took Rivera to finally land a head coaching job. I just dont see Chud leaving next season, now if next season we makethe playoffs then yes, we can start talking and speculating. But right niw my money is on Chud staying
