I am still shocked the Panthers walked away with a win today. After being thoroughly dominated Womens Da'Norris Searcy Jersey , the team woke up and overcame a 17 point deficit to beat the defending Super Bowl champs at home. Here’s the players who helped, and the ones that didn’t.WinnersTorrey SmithSmith hasn’t become a top wide receiver by any stretch, but over the last two games he’s absolutely showed up when the team needed it. He caught 4 passes for 61 yards, including a key catch and run on 4th and 10 for the Panthers final, lead changing drive on offense. He’s been often maligned by Panthers fans, but over the last two weeks he’s turned it on in a big way on key drives. Cam Newton trusts him, and it appears he’s finally found his groove.Michael PalardyDespite a crazy wind during this game, Palardy consistently pinned Philadelphia in their own territory after punts. He gave the kicks enough hang time that his speedster Curtis Samuel was able to get down there and down the punts inside the five when he had his opportunities. Of all players, Palardy showed up from start to finish more than anyone else. Palardy continues to demonstrate why his extension was well deserved.Mario AddisonDespite going out early with a back injury, Addison was by far Carolina’s most consistent presence on the defensive line. He logged two sacks (though one was a simple miscue by Carson Wentz) and continued to get pressure on the outside. If Addison were to miss a significant amount of time, this defense would struggle to rush the passer.4th Quarter Cam NewtonNewton struggled for the large majority of the game, as the Eagles came after him early and often. However, after Curtis Samuel lit a fire under this offense Youth Donte Jackson Jersey , we saw Cam Newton let loose. He threw several beautiful passes at the end of the game and was on fire during the comeback effort. Cam may not be the most consistent quarterback, but he is one of the best when he’s in do or die mode.Luke Kuechly and Thomas DavisKuechly hasn’t quite been the dominant force we know this season, but in this game he seemed to inch his way back. Davis meanwhile, continues to play angry. The defense as a whole didn’t play great, but these two made momentum shifting tackles when the defense absolutely needed them. Looking forward to at least one last hurrah for this amazing duo.LosersField goal unitCome on man, they let not one but two field goals get away due to mental mistakes. Can you imagine what the game would have looked like with two field goals on the board? Two weeks ago, the field goal unit bailed out the offense. This week, the fourth quarter offense bailed out the field goal unit.James BradberryAlshon Jeffrey put the hurt on Bradberry today. He consistently got open and consistently got catches. Were it not for one good play by Bradberry in the 4th, Alshon would have all but silenced this team’s attempt at a comeback. The Panthers put a lot on Bradberry as their CB1, but this wasn’t the worst matchup he’s faced yet he got beat worse than he has all season.CoachingBruh. It took a herculean effort by Cam Newton and this offense in the end to win this game. This is the 3rd straight week that Carolina has beaten themselves with bad coaching. It shouldn’t require a two digit deficit to turn Cam Newton loose, and why is Michael Adams covering Zach Ertz? They figured it out in the end, against a good team at that, but this is three straight weeks of slow starts by the offense. This defense can no longer bail them out Color Rush David Mayo Jersey , the offense needs to score points. Good things happen when Curtis Samuel and DJ Moore are on the field. Use your weapons, it isn’t that hard.Panthers vs. Cowboys: Step UP or Step OUT Welcome back to the 2018 edition of Step UP or Step OUT, a series on CSR that is intended to look at players who are playing well, and highlight a few that need to step their game up. Think of it as a heat index for the Carolina Panthers; guys who are playing well are stepping up and those who aren’t need to improve their game or. . . step out.This week we’ll look at some guys that have shown their mettle during the preseason, and need to maintain that intensity for the weeks ahead to go well. The others mentioned, well, they need to play better... or maybe just step out of the way and let someone else take over.Steppin’ UPTaylor MotonHeat Rating: The Cajun Filet biscuit you picked up to block out hunger until tailgateNobody had a better preseason than Taylor Moton, and I don’t believe that is really up for debate. From initially just challenging for the starting left guard position, to taking over for an injured Daryl Williams at right tackle, to now starting week 1 at the left tackle spot... the man has handled a flurry of challenges thrown his way with professionalism and gusto. The third preseason game against the Patriots was very encouraging as to his long term prospects at the position, and he could really solidify his place as one of the better young linemen in the league with a solid game against DeMarcus Lawrence and the Dallas Cowboys.Cam NewtonHeat Rating: A Big Bo’ Box full of delicious hot golden fried chicken and biscuitsAce Boogie had an encouraging preseason where he lead several long scoring drives and spread the ball around to many different weapons. He’ll be flanked by the best supporting cast he’s had to date, and although the offensive line still has some big questions, there may be some gargantuan weeks ahead for the guy whose number 1 in both your programs and hearts.Christian McCaffreyHeat Rating: Bojangles dirty rice Youth Trai Turner Jersey , which no good Bo’ Box would be complete withoutChristian McCaffrey is without a doubt the Panthers most dynamic offensive weapon. I have no doubt that he will approach that 25-30 touches per game mark hinted on by Ron Rivera, and each one will have the potential for large gains. In the preseason, as well as last season, he has proven that he can indeed work between the tackles, and we all know about his ability catching the ball out of the backfield. I’d hate to be the Dallas Cowboys this week, as the coaching staff let’s their plans for “Deuce Deuce” loose loose.Donte JacksonHeat Rating: Piping hot Bo’ fries with extra cajun seasoningThrough a fusion of his own good play and some poor injury luck by the team, the rookie second round pick out of LSU is going to get a shot to start at corner from the very beginning. His swagger and natural athleticism shined brightly in the preseason, but it’s time to see if that will translate to a full time starting workload against some of the league’s best receivers. To silence the doubters, “Action Jackson” will need to dominate against the Dallas Cowboys suspect receivers, and continue to build on that throughout the year.Steppin’ OUTAmini SilatoluCold Rating: Being handed unsweeted Bojangles infamous tea instead of famous sweet teaI’m not sure how much stuffing I can still get out of beating this dead horse... but in no way whatsoever does Amini Silatolu deserve to start at left guard even if he is medically cleared to play on Sunday. Greg Van Roten showed himself to be a perfectly capable option in the preseason, and he deserves to play in that spot. Period. Dontari PoeCold Rating: The sauces you forgot to ask for at the drive thru windowCarolina’s largest free agent acquisition had a relatively quiet offseason. I’m sure fans were hoping for more from the athletic big fella, but preseason in notoriously difficult to evaluate defensive interior linemen, especially when they aren’t really in any danger or having their starting spot challenged. Kawann Short was pretty quiet too http://www.authenticscarolinapanthers.com/cheap-mario-addison-jersey , for that matter, but we know what he can do all to well. This is more of a “cool” rating than anything versus the initial excitement, but let’s hope for more of an impact as we go live.D.J. MooreCold Rating: Taking the wrong route to the stadium and having to continuously smell that Big Bo’ Box in the back get colder by the minuteMoore came roaring out of the gates with an impressive camp and a big impact in the first preseason game. After that point he started to fall off a bit, and made very little impact in the most recent games. Reports are that he is hitting a bit of a rookie wall mentally, and the coaching staff are trying to refocus him on doing a few things really well instead of everything with moderate efficiency. The 1st round rookie out of Maryland has all the athletic gifts, and with Curtis Samuel slated to miss week 1, has a chance to make some game impact. He’ll be a part of the game plan, and I’m sure he’ll make the most of his chances.
