A little bit of bright side.

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.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
