Madden 24 Carolina Panthers Franchise: FRANK GORE JR STARS IN NFC TOP SPOT BATTLE | S3W17 Ep.59

welcome back to another episode in the Carolina pantess franchise and today we're starting with the view of the playoff picture and look at this one we are through we passed the wild card picture and we're in the divisional round to start off we can't really rest up too much on that uh because the chase is still on we still have two games to play in regular season um we've got the Ravens then we've got the Panthers the Cowboys did drop down but Dro down in air quotes because they're just on par with us the Rams have lost another game so they're kind of out of the race now but this is still still going on very very hotly here um and we just have to we've got it in our hands now if we keep winning then we stay there and we have another week to rest up another week to rest players another week without injuries if we don't achieve that then uh then it's yeah then it's then it's uh down to our own performances uh K ma five tackles three sacks great performance defensive player of the week here before that Bryce Yano the offensive player I think you can see where this is going our team is really doing very very well I am now going to take a look immediately at the New England roster 4 and 11 but yeah never never be fooled this can always suddenly get turned on its head ma Jones still on the Patriots here 26 years of age 83 overall uh pretty comparable to Bryce young I would say in in in the overall style of play uh he's looking really solid so nothing more to add here they've got gra Merz Andrew Loz backup quarterbacks halfback is Nick chub this is a superstar player of course Bucky Irving behind him and Deon Neil super stacked running back room so the Run game is going to be dangerous fullback is John LoveIt wide receivers to Mario Douglas we've got Juju Smith Sher Deonte Hardy shy Smith and bruh McCoy I love that name it's just fantastic uh Demario Douglas let me just take a ever so quick peek yeah he was drafted by uh the Patriots Juju Smith Shuster still with the Patriots here Deontay Hardy I think he was joining is he joining from the Steelers or am I messing things up now New Orlean Saints Buffalo Bills Jets and N all right journeyman right there tight end jatavian Sanders 2289 Hunter Henry brv Jordan a very good room love jaavan Sanders 2289 looking super nice life tackle Trent Brown 3285 Drew Shelton the backup Cole strange 2277 uh 2777 George Fitzpatrick 22 years of age Center Ryan Jensen Superstar death trade 3486 a veteran player City s 2781 and Tai Chan that's a rookie 2271 right tackle Mike and wenu 2789 and Elijah pritet that's a rookie 2174 offensive line looking very very good I I really have to say hats off uh super solid no real weaknesses defense Christian barmar 2689 and bran tce who's injured at left Edge right Edge Josh sweat 2889 and Jacob Sykes Josh sweat coming from the Jaguars right nah Philadelphia Eagles that's the other Monty swi that's that's the other dude BJ Hill 2980 Bobby Brown the third he's coming from the Rams though Jacob slay the backup very very very nice front uh grouping here Colin Oliver 2377 Victor De KJ Patrick Jones the second balance room very very nice Jaan Bentley 2982 at midline backer pton Wilson and level Bailey r at linebacker Jah OSU coroa 2592 jalani Tay and Jad Camp behind this player this is a brutal right outside linebacker room cornerback Christian Gonzalez 23 389 we've got Jonathan Jones here 3184 Marcus Jones ji Jackson darl Luther I love Christian Gonzalez such a beast free safety Malachi Starks that's a rookie Elijah molden behind him this is a great room jail Peppers 2989 Bryce Anderson rookie kicker Willets and Chad Ryland interesting Bryce baringer is the punter all right how do we deal with this let's take a look at weekly strategy here here we go I mean we're not going to be deviating too much from what usually works because that would be weird right if our defense can perform as good as they have been performing then I really don't have too many worries here but I do see I do see uh an issue arising in terms of uh the health and the fitness levels because that is something that right now is slowly but surely creeping in that we're having injuries upon injuries to keepy players and that is that's not good that's not good as you might imagine so Tory Horton still at St yeah just rub it in why don't you freaking bastard all right let's see George Gregory is there anybody in here that we want to boost nope nope te Chipola I'm still on this one here nope nope nope nobody here worth boosting uh Landon Jack we could we could boost D van a little bit here Jeremiah troter needs no boosting Danny stutzman could use some maybe maybe Travis Hodes Tomlinson kin Bullock tell you what I'm going to I think I'm going to be looking at Kamari Wilson here and instead of fidil digs we're going to be boosting our strong safety backup Mustafa here I think that makes sense so the weekly game plan goal we don't need to achieve anything in particular so let's just achieve 350 passing yards all right that's super pessimistic here 300 450 all right let's go all right so luckily no new injuries but the ones that we do have every time I look at it it's still it really hurts um I mean we will be getting back uh horn Mingo rainy and Bs pretty reasonably quickly Tek Williams four weeks and toan Jackson 5 weeks just that's just really painful if we pick up any long-term injuries right now it's going to be season ending uh the ones that are out currently are players that we can wait for and we will wait for them 27 points let's get some more Buffs going for the uh for the defense here it is just uh that's just the area where we really need the most the most help in my opinion at least in my opinion at least let's upgrade the players here Jam trer gets an upgrade he is an absolute freaking he's 99 now of course with Buffs but still he's a dude that managed to get the jump done from uh from regular player to Superstar and we could have two more uh on the roster if the challenges with Bryce young would have worked he might even be an xfactor and I think that would really make him an an absolute standout player Ricky strumberg goes up to an 85 let's hope that also impacts the way he gets injured namely so not getting injured anymore Danny stutsman here Field General 83 base show farmer now we the green area with a buff of course a base 75 and yet that is awesome Kamari Wilson the free safety now is scheme fit why did I boost him because I feel like he might help us out uh on Corner we're going to be taking look at the depth chart in game it's in a away game so this is always tricky Gillette Stadium is a hard hard place to play and uh yeah you never know what's going to happen so keep your fingers crossed and let's dive into this one J stadium in all its Glory we're the away team today visiting the New England Patriots happy New Year guys Happy New Year Ma Jones 3.4k yards 25 touchdowns nine interceptions Bryce young I'd love to see his stats we might look at them later on I don't think he's there yet but he has been having a few really good games so I I actually think he he should be in the in the uh 3000 as well here come the Patriots like the uniforms they might have been looked at like a you know like a boring team to do a franchise with uh in The Brady era because it's just a little bit op it's like playing with the Chiefs right now it's just a very very overpowered team here but choosing them now there's a lot of areas that need work not this version of the team though I mean the real one and I'm already thinking about which teams to go for next season on the next Madden incoming can't wait to get going mesh spot time here we go Schwarz Marshall before we do that we're going to go into the depth chart I do want to check out the offensive line I do want to check out uh everything else ikim MCU Joe Farmer John ficano Joan James Ricky strongberg all right we're going to use AJ Jackson here on this position there we go and we're going to use Tegra Chola on the central position so that is handled Brandon dorus all right I mean we could rest him up a little bit maybe we could use uh Cameron Jordan here just for for for the time being our or use Robert Quinn here so we I mean these are these are options that we could do in especially in the case if somebody is tired here Danny stutzman Lucas vaness all right all right all right Travis Hodes Tomlinson CJ Henderson Steven Nelson Kamari Wilson and Malik Mustafa I actually think I'm going to use Mustafa up here like this all right all right looking good let's get going enough enough menus Schwarz Marshall here we go taking down here here this is uh terce Marshall Jr and the notable in actives list is too long to show everybody but you can see it's a lot of starters it's a lot of starters a spot wi cross here looking at Marshall but I am actually also looking at Tommy tremble who has returned from injury push backwards third and five we don't get this one Malachi Starks here Jesus Christ that was loud on my headphones dagger let's go Terrace Marshall Junior but I'm actually looking for Tommy tramble here on this play catch turn get a first down Tommy tremble injured great job first catch first play are you kidding me guys are you serious can you just give me a break and I don't mean break break a leg or something like just give me a break here we go completed here number 88 terce Marshall Jr holding on to the ball I need to rely on these players now I need to make sure that we have that we have these players doing what they're supposed to do just like that Tory Horton is tipped Josh sued is injured 31 was there foot fracture is Tommy tremble cursed or or or what's going on man he's going to be out now but for reals this time can we just maybe not have that happening all the time that is annoying it is annoying as all right time to sort this depth chart so let's go Washington sonot and down here going to use George Gregory just like that inside zone right to left first and 10 at the 48 snap is l oh Jesus Christ n I'm stuck on my own man can't find a way around him second at 11 I'm just sitting here shaking my head man I was happy to have Tommy Trimble back I was just talking about injuries but nope of course we had to have another injury here Tory Horton with an important catch here good route seems to be very very cold today four verticals Washington would be a good one though I think we're going to go with a play action slide here terce Marshall Jr and Darnell Washington are the options oh and again on this play come on [Applause] man we had the same situation in I don't know against two I it was against the Rams and we it was the same play and for some God forsaken reason yeah number six just staying put because of course he is all right let's go can we can we hit him surprisingly here darell Washington yes we can that's nice that was a sweet spot actually finding this one chelani Tay that's a big dude with a long black hair putting are you putting a are you putting a hand on my man are are you putting the hand on my man are you serious there we go slotting it in there that is beautifully done right to left here we go chuba hubard oh for [Applause] go I would really appreciate it if Tommy trbl would return for the playoffs because we need our star players there we need the star players and so far we have really not had the best of luck in that category especially not with him he has been out for more in this season than uh than he's been playing I don't know why stman is all of a sudden here slapped away Ricky Stromberg injured mesh spot let's go terce Marshall Jr pul on the turn I've got Washington over there I for cry out loud they just have to stand there and wait for us to pass it fourth and two this I'm going to go with a field goal of course all it's it's super oh come on I don't know where I'm aiming I don't know where I'm aiming I have no clue luckily we're that close Jesus Christ all right kid York three and0 we're on the board we are on the board come on defense yes nothing from defense can we home team has improved coverage yeah that's going to be awesome why why not us this time hey why not us push out of Bounce here Frank G only two yards on that one pressure was coming here very very quickly tell you what if you're going to be bastards then I might as well try to do this here Horton or Washington one of those two players will be available Tory Horton powering forward first an 10 7 and 12 today 77 yards for Bryce young it is again it is again feeling like we're being suffocated in there catch pushing forward that's six yards that's good8 and 13 come on Pryce just stay focused on this one here just stay focused on this one here I need the defense to brutalize them in the second half and yes I said that here we go quick stop here Jacob Sykes that's number 97 injured here Max Jones walking over saying dude get will soon going right to left this time around I'm going with Washington Horton has the route that was I'm not going to say what that was but it didn't look clean did not look clean all right here we go Darnell Washington another try Tory Horton on the short how did he do that how did he catch up to that one Jeremiah was auroa getting in there let's go let's go Tory Horton we've got a full 10 yards to cover here can we at least get one dudes man you're pissing me off seriously pissing me off and now again and again it's a star d the star player Jeremiah wasak Kuro who's just destroying Us in every category here we go and now of course of course Bryce young is going to overthrow it because that one would have been perfectly on route to score a touchdown there we go 10 and three and yes I am starting to get pissed again I am starting to get really annoyed squiggly lines because why not against the opponent here seriously there you go Darnell Washington fighting for yards we've got two timeouts left play action counter go looking for poke on this one who's tired has been getting more tired and tired as the yikes God good accuracy Out Of Reach ikim Miku injured why not why not pick up another injury right now we might as well we might as well it's always coming down towards the end of the season and that is seriously impacting our chances of playing playoff football here use Chipola right there four verticals let's be quick 22 seconds oh that is a nicely horn All right we go down we take a timeout 12 seconds to go 12 seconds to go Darnell Washington does a good job on that one he's been doing a fantastic job in in in stepping in for Tommy trample who's been injured so much this season so so much it's just shaking my head man really shaking my head this is craziness absolute Insanity at times Terrace go go go go go all right let's use a timeout 5 Seconds final time out we're going to go for the field goal here all right wind is coming from the right so I need to compensate ever so lightly like this maybe I can't really see that well all right putting it right in the middle that's nice at least Zack Wilson the holder and now come on defense let's stop ma Jones right come on come on there we go that's good 10 and six chasing the game like a pack of wolves or like a pack of panthers pun intended uh which one do I like let's go with the vertical here here he doesn't get there I know I had to rush the throw there a little bit more than I would have liked to but I need more Precision here more Precision from Bryce young and more grit from my field player there we go this is what I mean 14 and 25 we are really I mean you know stats don't lie and I think he's just getting pressured very quickly and throwing the ball under pressure is never good but he just seems to be feeling that pressure unusually fast my offensive line is absolutely disintegrating under the pressure here I might even have to bring in another player out of free agency Tory Horton Darnell Washington now on the turn there we go yikes man could have waited a little bit longer maybe inside Zone Third and one chba hubard here we go number 32 I was focusing what the hell is that dude on the left he's big he's got a giant head and he's number 84 what what is that and just scared man it looks like slander man drive here we go man Darnell washing is getting tired as well I can't risk this it would be fantastic if we would pick up another injury here right jayen pul oh he's powering forward beautifully Ricky Stromberg and I honestly I'm just rolling my eyes every game we pick up two or three injuries now and that's that's making life very difficult here shallow cross Tory Horton come on let's go very nice push out of bounds here by jabril Peppers this defense I mean 89 rated dislocated shoulder all right that might be might be a shortterm injury though chuba H here we go get away and here we go inside chba H finds the end zone and it's not a lot of scoring going on today not a lot of scoring come on defense I need you guys to really really help us out now we did our part now do yours if we if we can get him stopped then again we have a shot out this one come on there we go fantastic that's pretty good let's go half back inside Zone getting a touchdown now is going to be really be a big boost for us two yards chba hard on a run that was equal parts miserable and uh unimpressive there we go third quarter comes to an end and we are I'm not going to say we're dominating this game but we are just doing way better than they are and I feel like we should be getting something out of this one let's go with a gun double cross here I might go with Marshall but I'm rather leaning towards Gore or Washington nice Terrace Marshall Jr a I was trying to just run a full circle here 18 on3 243 yards do you know what I mean bran is throwing almost 300 yards per game Red Zone halfback scissors not going to try that now let's go with the dagger terce Marshall Jr with a nice route I'd like to hit him around the 20 catch and go down awesome job man awesome job he's 24 and he's doing well he's one of my uh players that's further down on the depth card and yet when I call upon him he's there that's that's what I want to see shoved here by number five jiu Peppers as Ben not gets two yards on this one ah which one do we like I'm going to try this run right to left the right area it looks a little bit open doesn't it all right stti arm it there we go push down out the three I could start wasting the time completely now and I definitely want to take away one or two uh timeouts from them so there we go if I run in and score I'm going to take it but if I don't run in and score then I'll be happy with just slowing down their progress there we go stepping in franor is Nimble enough and we're going to go up 20 versus 10 that is a relief now if the defense it doesn't have to stop them entirely just need to slow them down considerably to give us enough time to make sure that we get the ball again and then we're in the two-minute drill ah that is beautiful that is just awesome guys we're at the 21 yd Line This is what I was looking for this is what I was looking for guys great job chuba oh chuba hard here oh that is awesome Tory Horton with a slight shove there halfback ISO here we go slightly towards the right hand side and we're going to force him to use up all of their just pushed forward number 72 Tegra Chipola here we go I'm going to let the clock tick down a little bit while we do that let's check out our options on the play here I actually think that just running it inside is uh the best choice uh but I want to want to make it drop below 1 minute to Rob them of any spark there we go Frank cor with a second touchdown Breaking Inside getting another touchdown winning this game is actually a consolation prize for the injuries that we're sustaining so here we go franor great job defense and another one there we go now we're absolutely waking up and I'm going to tell you something now is the time to make sure I don't lose key players now is the time to make sure I don't lose key players right there um basically everybody else is I'm not going to say is replaceable but everybody else is not as critical at least ah slightly overthrown there on the run a little bit too much power on that one and now we're going to go inside zone right to left with uh Robinson here Branson Robinson what a name and a nice pick up here side staing it and is he going to run inside oh he's so close down to the one yd Line stop there by or was MOA that was great man he almost almost got that one done loved it the rookie running like it's no tomorrow come on man snap it and he pushes inside and gets another touchdown this time for the rookie this is going to be great for him Brans and Robinson what Jeff to do that number 42 Jeff to do that last possible second Zack Wilson hand off running inside there we go now we're going to take another win we are going to take another win now it's down to if the Cowboys and the Rams what what they did if the Rams lost another one then we're clear of them if the Cowboys lost another one then we're clear of them I would really like to have less pressure in the final game so there we are 60% completion rate for Bryce young 20 out of 33 262 zero touchdowns today just kind of managing the game driving it for forward Tu H Brans and Robinson getting very very nice uh touchdowns but Frank or today was all about the Run game all about the Run game the passing worked when it needed to work uh it was quite clean I would like to even add I don't think we had any drops nope uh in terms of the defense of course we're missing star players here so uh that of course has an impact Marcus Jones just felt like he was everywhere number 25 quite a few tackles for loss sacks by Cameron Jordan jeremi TR Jr Brandon dorius and Jihad Campbell half a sack for kill Lil Mack and Danny stutzman and Kate York did everything right all right so it is 3 and3 we're taking the lead in the NFC South nobody can take that from us not even the Falcons next week but again we have a new injury and I'm scared to even look Tommy trembl three weeks all right that is actually that's not horrible that's not horrible that's he'll be back for the division round that's positive all right that is very positive um getting JC horn back getting Jonathan Mingo back that's just important in terms of the depth JC horn is a is a starter of course but Tommy tremble Linds Reno rashine bets those are really critical starters and we can compensate certain injuries in game we can compensate certain injuries that are longer term but we can't compensate everything so it's always that to consider um today's game I will count that as a success yes thir and three we're still going strong we're we're playing clean and uh next week I just want to win next week's game that's all I want to do cement that spot in the playoffs moving past the Wild Card having an extra week to rest up that is that's important everything else I don't really care about I do hope you enjoyed today's game if
