Gästeforum » Panthers vs Cowboys could come down to the run

The football season is (finally) upon us. On Sunday Cheap Kawann Short Jersey , the Panthers kick things off with a home game versus the Cowboys. Both teams on paper match up fairly. Like the Panthers, the Cowboys are battling their own set of injuries on the offensive line. Both teams sport a quarterback able to control the game and both have a defense that’s talented. But the one position that could control tempo of the game for either team is running back. Ezekiel Elliott battled the drama of a looming six-game suspension last season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Elliott faced his suspension the latter half of the season but not without making some noise first. In a matter of 10 games, Elliott managed to rush for 983 yards. He’s fast, he has power, he has agility, and he’s one of the best in the NFL. There’s also no doubt about it Cheap Greg Olsen Jersey , Elliott will be ready to play on Sunday and he’ll be running harder than ever. The Cowboys have an up and coming quarterback in Dak Prescott. However, Prescott doesn’t have the same talent at wide receiver he once had with the release of Dez Bryant in the offseason. Dallas has a young receiver in Michael Gallup and their other option is Allen Hurns — a former Jaguars standout. If things go faulty, Cowboys will have to rely heavily on Elliott. Thankfully for the Panthers, they have one of the best defenders in the league in Luke Kuechly. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said in the offseason that he’d like to see Christian McCaffrey get 25-30 touches per game. It’s also clear that first year offensive coordinator Norv Turner anticipates a running back who can tear up a defense on every down. Christian McCaffrey can run routes and run the ball out of the backfield. He is versatile in terms of style. Cam Newton can throw and he can run. Unfortunately for Newton, he’s now backed up by a patchwork version of an offensive line. DeMarcus Lawrence is a beast of a defensive end and is Dallas’ best defensive player. Last season, Lawrence had a career high 14.5 sacks and is looking for another stellar season. Newton will be pressured and he could be stopped if Taylor Moton doesn’t play his part. In turn http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-devin-funchess-jersey , CMC could be the game changer if things don’t go well in the air. With pressure in the air for both teams, there will be plenty of running on the field. Whoever can utilize their run game better will likely take the win. We are now officially a Queen podcast. Thanks to CSR user Arealpanthersfan, Brad and Brian dedicate the entire episode to the greatness that is Freddie Mercury. Brad sets a world record for most Queen references in a Carolina Panthers-related podcast. Don’t worry, we talk about the upcoming game with the Baltimore Ravens too, if that’s more your speed. We talk about the Ravens stellar defense from top to bottom, and how there’s really no discernible weakness to exploit. We talk about what we expect to see from the Panthers passing attack with Torrey Smith nursing a knee injury and whether or not that means more snaps for Curtis Samuel and D.J. Moore. We also briefly touch on the offensive line and what the Panthers should do with Darryl Williams now that Taylor Moton is pretty much the best right tackle of all time. We also talk about the Ravens new look offense and if the Panthers can slow down their revamped wide receiver corps.
