Scooter Tuning Pics » Matchup of the Week: Donte Jackson vs. Tyler Loc

ketteThe Panthers defense simply cannot seem to stop big plays in 2018 Youth Fozzy Whittaker Jersey , despite arguably having the most talented starting group of cornerbacks to take the field for them in a long time. Donte Jackson has quietly shined for this defense, nabbing four interceptions and generally showing he can step up against starting wide receivers in the NFL. However, he faces a tough test against of of the best speed threats in the league today. With James Bradberry likely to draw Doug Baldwin (if he plays) Sunday, Jackson should see his share of Lockette. Lockette currently has 7 touchdowns, and has finally seemed to step into the role he was drafted for. I expect the team to play a little more man this week after teams have shredded their zone defense, and hopefully take some pressure off an underproductive starting line.Dontari Poe vs. Justin BrittPoe seems to be one of the bigger issues for the defensive line Stitched Fozzy Whittaker Jersey , as they’ve struggled to stop the run in recent weeks. This week, they face a team that WILL commit to running the football, and they could easily pop off 150 yards rushing if this defense can’t figure itself out. Teams are attacking the linebackers when they run the ball, and the defensive line hasn’t been able to clean up for it. That starts up front. If Poe can finally make an impact and control the line of scrimmage, the defensive line could see a bounceback game they desperately need.D.J. Moore vs. Shaquill GriffinMoore had a breakout Sunday against the Lions, catching 7 receptions for 157 yards and the clutch touchdown that put the Panthers in position to win. Between his production over the last several weeks Youth Daryl Williams Jersey , Torrey Smith returning from a knee injury, and Devin Funchess’ status in doubt, he should see a healthy share of snaps on Sunday. Shaquill Griffin figures to be the one seeing him the most, and the Panthers will need his explosive talent to score points and move the chains. I personally hope to see both Moore and Curtis Samuel take the field at the same time as often as possible, but Moore being a major factor is basically a sure thing. Moore is playing up to his first round pedigree, and should draw the Seahawks best corner often.Chris Clark vs. Frank Clark/Quinton JeffersonWhile the Panthers offensive line has been a pleasant surprise this season Stitched Daryl Williams Jersey , Chris Clark easily takes the field as the weak link, and team’s have figured that out. I’m not here saying I expect Clark to suddenly be better, but I know the Panthers need to do something to help him. These Seahawks edge rushers will eat him alive as this Seattle coaching staff knows exactly how to get after Cam Newton. Clark cannot be a weak link for this offense to score points, as they will surely need to.Who are you watching, Panthers fans?

My theory is they are holding it open for our annual signing of Wes Horton, who is the player most recently wearing the number in a game. That theory is complicated because it would first require the Saints to cut Horton, which is where he ended up after six on and off seasons in Carolina. The Saints just signed Horton on May 21 so the reality is Horton is most likely done as a Panther.Consider the Panthers’ depth at defensive end now as compared to seasons past. We have these four hold overs and then three new pass rushers whom the Panthers are listing as linebacker/defensive end. I’m starting to think maybe the Panthers plan to run the 3-4 a lot more than just as a change of pace or gimmick scheme. They appear to be gearing up for significant use of the 3-4. It might be all but an announced change to the 3-4. Yet it could be something in the middle.We could also be witnessing the beginning of a new trend in defensive football. In the future teams might strive to have the personnel to run both schemes, being able to switch back and forth based on the circumstance (and ability to change out personnel between plays). We know many offenses will run the no huddle in hopes of ‘trapping’ certain defensive personnel on the field. That will certainly be in future game plans from opposing offensive coordinators. But I digress.Summer is here, we have 96 days left to enjoy before our passion kick offs. The long story short is that Horton is done as a Panther because they value speed Stitched Michael Palardy Jersey , something he doesn’t have. Cheers!
