Charlotte Observer Makes another Observation

In light of Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson’s latest statement to the media, the media is now responding.  This particular rebuttal basically claims that Richardson’s goals of “running the ball” and “stopping the run” are not going to work.  Never mind the decades upon decades of football history that prove this works.  Never mind that all the teams in the NFL’s version of the final four (save for the Patriots) have a very solid run attack.   Never mind that being able to stop the run makes teams one-dimensional, thereby forcing them to pass and allowing the other team to control the pace of the game.

No, never mind all that.  Because Mr. Sorenson wants you to believe that in the modern NFL you only need to be able to blitz and defend the pass.  Mr. Sorenson needs to do his homework.  The run opens up the pass.  The Patriots have one of the best quarterbacks ever throwing to one of the best receivers ever.  That’s why they’re so good.  Unless Mr. Sorenson wants to pay for Randy Moss in free agency and try to trade for Donovan McNabb, I don’t know what he expects the Panthers to do.  Actually, that sounds like a really good idea.  I take it all back.  If the Panthers pick up Moss and McNabb, then Mr. Sorenson is a genius.
