Rookie outside linebacker Princely Umanmielen told reporters this week that the team's pass rushers got together for a players-only meeting to hash out their shortcomings in the sack column.
"We had a meeting—just us, no coaches," Umanmielen stated. "We really emphasized trying to get to the quarterback because we thought our production, as far as sacks-wise, was embarrassing. Only having two sacks in four games—we were like, 'That's unacceptable.'
"So we came together, we seen that we had to stop being so stagnant. We can't be scared. It's the NFL—quarterbacks are gonna get out of the pocket sometimes. So we can't rush air, only go power because we think the dude is gonna break the pocket. It's gonna happen. So we just let loose."
Well, they let loose on Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa—who ate three sacks from the Panthers in Week 5. Along with outproducing their sack total from the previous four contests, Carolina also notched 12 pressures and held the potent Miami offense to just seven points in the second half.
love Princely ....dude is honest
