There was a play early in the game Panthers 2nd or 3rd possession I believe. It's 3rd and 6/7 area. Dre is playing standing right on the 1st down line, at the snap he back pedals 3 or 4 steps and Cam throws a 5 yard pass to that receiver who easily steps out of bounds for the first down. I could have got a 1st with that coverage.

Couple plays later they have 3 WR's to one side. Ball is snapped and Dre and Dennard maybe ? have to look again both cover the guy going inside with the slant. As the ball is in the air Dre turns and goes to the guy running wide open to the outside who easily gets 1st down.

These plays with this soft coverage/ missed coverage are killing us.

And I'd venture to say teams watching this game film can figure out how to exploit it.
