I know our defense has given up a ton of yards to the running backs, and I know this might not mean much because it is what it is. However, if Decoud didn't have an awful angle to give up that huge run to Gio, he would have had a very mediocre day.

 

Without that huge run Gio looks like:

 

17 carries, 48 yards, 0 tds

 

That is 2.8 yards a carry.

 

We also held Jeremy Hill to 2.7 yards a carry.

 

 

So maybe our defense isn't as bad as stated by the media, and maybe you shouldn't be so giddy about starting a fantasy running back against this D.

If you don't wrap Lacey up and take bad angles like they've been doing on those long runs he's gonna go beast mode idc how much you think Lacey lacks in the speed dept.

True, and a 4.44 sec. 40 time isn't exactly slow by any stretch.  Especially when you weigh 230 lbs.

Rivera actually said this in his presser. He told the journalists not to lose sight of the improvement. He called it that "one play".

It's like do you want to get hit in the face with a hammer or a baseball bat. 

 

 

This is my main concern with the defense.. we get people in ideal 3rd and 7+ yard conditions and can't seem to get them off the field.   When we get pressure good things happen.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
