Restore the Roar | Carolina Panthers

2011-2012 Season Preview

After a disappointing 2010 season leading to 14 losses and a number one pick, the Carolina Panthers turn to a rookie head coach and rookie quarterback to turn the franchise around. Add that with the fact that the lockout has given the coaching staff as much time with its players as it took you to read this sentence and you’ve got yourself a recipe for disaster. Or do you?

All hope might not be lost for the Panthers before the season even gets rolling. The resigning of runningback Deangelo Williams may have locked up one of the best running games in the league. Accompanied by two solid runningbacks coming off of the bench (Stewart and Goodson), a solid offensive line anchored by Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil, and a quarterback with 4.3 speed, the Panthers should be able to run the ball very effectively this season. Passing, however might be a different story. Speedster Steve Smith is on the downside of his career, and they don’t have much depth backing him up. Gettis, LaFell, and Edwards are all great athletes, but that’s all they are. The Panthers did manage to snatch both Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey in the offseason though, making for two big, safe targets over the middle.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Panthers will run a 4-3. Head coach Rivera has most recently been a defensive coordinator for a team utilizing the 3-4 approach, but Carolina’s existing personnel won’t allow for that. Carolina’s front four will be led by Charles Johnson, who finally provided a pass rush from the edge last year that Panthers fans have not seen since Julius Peppers. They have a very good linebacking core, consisting of stud inside linebacker Jon Beason, as well as James Anderson and Thomas Davis. As for Carolina’s secondary, cornerback Chris Gamble must bounce back from a subpar season. He was often not on the same page with young safetiesCharles Godfrey and Sherrod Martin, neither of whom has shown consistent big-play abilities. Captain Munnerlyn has surprisingly lived up to his haughty first name as a man-to-man defender his first two seasons. With the assertive Munnerlyn being an outside defender, the hope is that Brandon Hogan, a fourth-round rookie, can fill Richard Marshall’s void at slot corner. Needless to say the Panthers will do much better against run-heavy offenses.

Final Prediction: 5-11, last in the division.

after being unable to find anyone on campus with a copy of NCAA, I made the executive decision to generate the rookies . not too happy, but really want to get this started.
