Week 9: Skins v Panthers

[W. Unseld]

Why: Why not!?

When: Sunday at 1:00

Where: Fed Ex; televised on Fox

Who: Cam v RG3

Prediction?: Paaaain (use Rocky 3 Clubber Lang voice when reading). The pain will no doubt stem from watching our secondary. If the Skins can get the running game going & the WR's are over the dropsies then the Skins have a path to victory. OTOH, something tells me the Panthers & Cam in particular have had this game circled for a while. After the first weekend when asked to compare RG3 & Cam, Rivera didn't resort to coach speak but instead talked about Cam being bigger, stronger & more elusive. I remember thinking at the time that was un-Rivera-like. Perhaps he senses that this is a comparison that Cam is sensitive about?

For the Panthers they have a tight end who is pretty good in Olsen & therefore will look all world against the Skins. LaFell is decent but even when Steve Smith was the only receiving threat to worry about he still torched the Skins.

The game is interesting bc both teams run the option & some other similar sets so each defense should be used to seeing it. The Panthers are coming off a close, heart breaking loss & the Skins are coming off a terrible performance. Who wins & why?

Not even RG3 can make up for a bad defense, suspect receivers, and a mediocre offensive line. And what in the world were they doing on that last play?
