Philadelphia Eagles opponents preview - Carolina Panthers

Photo

This is the next part in our series of previews of the Eagles 2009 opponents. Joining us for this feature is Dave Schwab, who writes about the Eagles at his site Eagles Lincs.

It's finally about to start for real! The Eagles kick off their 09/10 campaign on the road against a team who was among the best in the NFC last year. Somewhat surprisingly, the Eagles head into the game as 1-2 point favorites.

Dave's full analysis after the jump.

Star-divide

Week 1- Carolina Panthers

The moment we have all been waiting for is almost upon us as the Philadelphia Eagles get set to start their march toward a Super Bowl by opening up the 2009 regular season on the road against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, September 13th in a 1:00 P.M. start. Ever since the final gun of last season’s disappointing loss to Arizona in the NFC Championship game, the Birds have been gearing up for another run at a title. A win on the road against a team that went 12-4 last season would certainly be a step in the right direction.

Last year, Carolina’s season ended with a disastrous performance against the Cardinals in a divisional playoff game. Panther QB Jake Delhomme played probably the worst game in his 11 year career as he committed six turnovers, including five interceptions in the 33-13 loss. Carolina was the only team in the league that had a perfect 8-0 record at home during the 2008 regular season, but they completely imploded in this home playoff game. The effects of that loss have already seemed to carry over into this season as the Panthers went 0-4 in the preseason only generating an average of a little over 14 points a game and less than 300 yards of total offense in those four losses. This was their first winless preseason in nine years as turnovers and mistakes have plagued them so far this year. They are going to have to shake of the effects of last season’s shocking loss and this season’s slow start if they are have any chance against the Eagles in the opener.

This past off season, the Panther’s rewarded Jake Delhomme with a contract extension and a pay raise. You have to question how much he has left to warrant this in light of his recent performance in big games. They will rely heavily on their running game with All Pro RB DeAngelo Williams who rushed for over 1500 yards in 2008. They also have Jonathan Stewart to compliment Williams as he almost rushed for 1000 yards on his own. If the Eagles can find a way to shut these two down, they can force Delhomme to beat them with his arm by throwing the ball to his favorite receiver Steve Smith and other wide out Mushin Muhammad. They definitely have some weapons on offense, but the key to shutting the Panther’s down still revolves around disrupting Delhomme as much as possible.

Defensively, Carolina is still led by All Pro DE Julius Peppers. Peppers was almost a no show as he threatened to hold out in a contract dispute, but the Panthers signed him to a one year multi million deal to keep the peace. So far this preseason they have been effective against the pass, but have given up an average of 133 yards on the ground which could open the door to a big day for Brian Westbrook who will finally see his first action of the year after being sidelined from off season ankle surgery. Rookie RB LeSean McCoy who has filled in admirably in Westbrook’s absence should also see significant action in Sunday’s game.

So far this year Carolina does not appear to be the team that went 12-4 last year, tying the Giants for the best record in the NFC. They have been out of sync on offense and struggling somewhat on defense. The Eagles should be able to take advantage of this fact and grab a much needed opening day win on the road.

SHOOTOUT COMING

For all u degenerate gamblerz like myself out there im goin heavy with the over.
Even tho i think our D will be good eventually its gonna take a couple weeks or so for this unit to mesh, so expect Carolina to score in the low 20s. As for our OFFENSE , they are gonna hace to carry the team at least in the beggining of the year. I like the matchup of our O against their D. Expect the birds to score in the mid 30s.

STEWART IS PLAYING!!!

and in case u guys havent heard the panthers have a home run hitter in MIKE GOODSON…a deep threat TE in GARY BARNIDGE who has a year under his belt now… this will be a great game…and can asante samuel cover STEVE SMITH 1 on 1? i dont think so….cuz no 1 man can…and KENNETH MOORE has been very impressive to steve smith along with goodson and smith doesnt talk highly of players…if the eagles D can some how pull all of it together and contain that offense then i will be shocked

MIKE GOODSON … really dude a 4th round rookie? Listen Stewart and Williams scare me but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

GARY BARNIDGE … the man didn’t even catch a pass last year, and couldn’t beat out Jeff King for the starter spot. Excuse me while I join Bye, Dawk.

KENNETH MOORE … you realize he was cut by the Lions right … the 0-16 we need all the help we can get Lions.

I think the Panthers are a good team and will be a tough game for the Eagles, but none of those players will be a factor in that.

by the dumb ass lions…but steve smith has taken the kid under his wing…he also spent a good amount of time at RICKY PROEHLs camp in the off season…the kid has been working hard and it has been paying off…and GARY BARNIDGE is going to make a name for himself u just watch..but with ur 3rd string MLB in there and that rookie at safety i just dont see you guys being able to stop all 3 backs for 4qtrs along with the dump offs to GB and all 4 of our options at wide out…but this will be a great test for both teams…cant wait

these are 3 explosive players

dont get all caught up like im sayin K-MO is goin to be our #1 or anything but he keeps his feet moving he jump up high to bring down passes and he doesnt drop shit! and hes fast…hes a great target and im more than pleased with his performance…and barnidge is tall fast and strong he has to work on bringing every pass in but none the less he is a deep threat…MIke mother fuckin Goodson is a beast! when ur di is tired and he comes in there running 100mph all over the place u im goin to have a big smile all over my face…u better hope ur offense comes out and gets off to a big lead so were not able to run the ball 35 times but if u dont ooohhh boy its gonna be along day for that bum mlb that “used” to be a starter…fyi guys that used to start go somewhere that they can start or they accept the fact that they suck and become 2nd string but this guy has fallen to the 3rd so with that and the fact that u have a rookie free safety startin and its going to be his first game and we are going to give a lot of looks….this should be real tough on those guys…how long has ur #2 mlb been out?

Running D

for the Eagles should be a pretty good suit. I don’t see a whole lot of teams being able to run up and down on us, and take away their rushing attack and the Panthers don’t have a lot. The only risks I see:

1) Our OL gives up sacks and hurries DM into INTs or fumbles
2) Our OL doesn’t get the push I think they will and forces us into a 1D offense
3) Our DC isn’t the man his predicessor was, and there is a major letdown this year across the board.

Of the 3, I am most worried about the last, because let’s face it, those are pretty big shoes to fill. However I think that #1 is the bigger threat to us losing the game Sunday. If TOs don’t play a big part of the game, I see us winning by about 5 or so.

I really want to see how Gaither does in the middle. I’m hoping that so long as Bunk and Patterson keep the linemen off of him he’ll be pretty good. I don’t know why but I kind of feel like Gaither wasn’t really meant to be a WILL’backer.

I hope Stewart doesn’t play because it will be somewhat weird for me rooting against him since he was a Duck.

Even if he and Beason do play they won’t be at 100% so I am not as worried about those two as I first was when I first saw we were playing Carolina in week 1

Stewart and Beason wont be 100%

The just started practicing today.. I don’t see much of a two headed monster coming our way in this game with Stewart banged up and Williams didn’t produce much at all as a solo artist. If we can containt Williams and constantly put a safety over top of Steve Smith there isn’t much else your offense has to offer.

I don’t understand why you seem to be taking this so personally. Its not like anybody here is sleeping on the Panthers. We take the running game, Julius Peppers, and Steve Smith seriously. We obviously take Stewart seriously or else we wouldn’t be devoting so much attention to whether or not he’s going to play. Beason too. Also, many of the points you appear to be making are kind of baseless. For instance, saying our D-Line will get tired. Its pretty clear that you don’t know that the Eagles have a habit of rotating some 8 to 10 D-Lineman throughout the game and I don’t think the Panthers run a no-huddle offense. Also, pointing out the Ravens – Panthers probably isn’t the best idea since the Ravens 1st team offense made your 1st team defense look just silly. I watched Derrick Mason abuse your starting corner time and again. Also, quick note, but ellipses aren’t meant to be used in the place of every other form of grammar. So basically, nobody here is sleeping on the Panthers. We know they have a great running game, a great wide receiver, some great defensive players, and we know the Eagles history of slow starts in September. We’ve also watched the Panthers first team offense and defense struggle at times during the pre-season, especially against the Ravens.

Seriously, the only thing we ask for is well-reasoned arguments. I think just about everyone on here is willing to say that there’s a good case to be made that either team could win. Our homer-ism naturally makes us think the Eagles have a better shot, but your arguments are kind of crap. Its like if I were to say the Eagles are guaranteed a win because we have Macho Harris at safety, Alex Smith as the back up TE, and Eldra Buckley as the 3rd running back. Eldra was afraid of no man during pre-season! Probably because he was fighting for a job but who cares about that!

If you are not embarrased by your string of postings, we’ll be embarrassed enough for you. It’s one thing to argue one team or the other will win, it’s another butcher grammar, the english language,and football talent evaluation while arguing for said team.

alex smith is a bum

and im not sure the panthers will win. i hope they do. but i cant promis anything. but we now have a weapon that Jake Delhomme has never had and that is a deep threat TE. i dont care if there isnt any stats for you to find on him. the kid can run and block and knows the playbook inside and out. he has a job now.

Big Andy doesnt run the ball much. so i dont think i will see much or your #3 back. Carolina pounds the rock. and they will do it with all 3 and all 3 have a job for a different reason. they all bring something to the table. Goodson is a steal so much of a steal that im worried if we will be able to keep him. chances are we wont. but MG wasnt fighting for a job he knows his role he always has and it isnt going to change no matter how well he does we wont take Deangelos job. Fox just doesnt opperate that way. here is a taste

a job

so he has a job now because he beat out who exactly…….some guy that couldn’t play at a decent college last year is who he beat out. So he had no competition to beat is what you’re saying? That doesn’t put him in elite status in my opinion. You need a better argument my friend. Just because he knows the playbook and is fast does not equal a downfield threat.

Fox

doesnt replace vets with in experienced guys. Rosario and King are reliable enough for Fox to just keep on doin what he has been doing. do i need to continue or due you get what im getting at yet?

but we now have a weapon that Jake Delhomme has never had and that is a deep threat TE

Question Jeff King is still listed as your starting TE … is he your deep threat TE or the guy who hasn’t played yet?

that’s why I said pre season, hopefully his sore butt is better but he’ll probably end up on it a lot if he tries to go across the middle on the Birds.

sore butt

probably because steve smith had his way with another teammate. Honestly, this guy sounds like he is a “jersey chaser!”

so..

the guys has a few good plays and it’s on video….but it’s not the few good plays he makes it’s the consistency in which he makes them. There were a lot of good players that have made a few great plays that never make it into the league….it’s about consistent contribution not one good play a year.

Someone should have shut this troll up ages ago...

Dude, we’re all Eagles fans, so first of all, don’t come to our house preaching that of all things, your TE’S are going to ball on us. Our LB’s aren’t terrific, but c’mon now…really?

Your arguments are weak. We are worried about Jason Peters vs Julius Peppers, Steve Smith vs Asante and Your runnng O vs our very injured Running D. We aren’t worried about a bunch of scrubs (your TE’s) who haven’t seen a full season game yet.

We’re not sleeping on your panthers, brother. In fact, a lot of us are quite ready to say the season starts 0-1. What we think is going to happen is a very competitive game. and as always, we are prepared to expect the best and prepare for the worst.

im not trolling

we r talkin football…so eat 1…but if ur worried about steve smith and the running game the wouldnt that open up TE play? Im saying we have an explosive player in Gary Barnidge. wtf is wrong with that? u guys wanna get all defensive and be like “that guy cant hurt us he has no stats” but football fans talk shit to each other bottom line. but its not like im saying CJ Wilson is goin to bust u guys up. because that would be a dumb statement with no basis. you dont know about GB or MG or K to da MO.so u say that all my argument are dumb…all of these guys are weapons that will contribute greatly this entire season. KMO and GB are chain movers and can stretch the field. MG is a homerun hitter. the kid is amazing with the ball in his hands. and he is showing promise on picking up the blitz in the blocking game. he has great vision and break away speed. he is learning to make 1 cut and stick with it but he does have things that u cant teach. and that is to never give up on a play, always keep those feet moving, and hunger. bottom line is if your D looks at these guys the same way you guys are then it is going to be a long day for all of you.

I have been reading this blog for over a year now but never started posting until recently and it is beyond annoying having to deal with other fans. Half of the things they say are stupid, pointless and with no basis. When you start calling people poopieheads I almost want to stop reading immediately. The funny thing is, if they lose the upcoming game – we probably won’t see them again until next year. I won’t even entertain these trolls cause it really is a waste of breath.
