Who to blame for Panthers' last ranked D


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Wow. I looked up total defense rankings, and guess what? We are dead last. Our defensive guru, by all accounts an excellent defensive coordinator, is fielding the NFL's worst. So, I ask, who is to blame for this shipreck---this fall from grace?

I can tell you that in all my years of watching football, I have never seen such a marked fall...off a cliff, defensively. Some may blame McDermott. Others, perhaps, the players. Can the turnstyle in the defensive backfield, or Greg Hardy's misguided judgment make that much of a difference...causing the defense to turn 180 degrees? Was it the big head of Dave Gettleman, self-proclaimed proclaimed personnel mastermind? Perhaps it's the Huddle's favorite and most convenient excuse, Marty Hurney. I guess the easy answer is a combination of everything. It just seems like that's too easy.

Wow. I just thought we were getting a little better (maybe around 28th or something). I guess I should have known after all the beat-downs. Silly me.

I think if you want to perform the post mortem it is will be death by a thousand cuts ( or a BB Gun firing squad).  I think the following all contributed to the shortcomings of the defense

 

1.  DB losses - Lost a lot of guys that were not great but they were adequate and capable of making plays when necessary.  Replaced them with guys that were not adequate and can't really move very well.

 

2.  Loss of Hardy - Big loss for the pass rush.  Also a defensive spark plug.

 

3.  Poor OL in training camp.  Have not mentioned this before but hear me out.  You have a great front 7 going against a collective group of guys are basically tackle dummies with heart beats.  On top of that the practices seemed to be laid back.  I think this was done to mask the problems and give the OL a false sense of security.  What ultimately happened is the DL relaxed and played lackadaisical.  This has carried over.  

 

4.  Time of possession and field position.  - I dont know if this is vastly different than last year but it appears to be so.  They seem to be on the field longer and the field seems to be much shorter. 

 

Thats all I got
