Beautiful Numbers from PFF

10. Carolina Panthers

Only two cornerbacks have been targeted 20 or more times and have yet to allow a pass for more than 16 yards. Those two are Josh Norman and Bene Benwikere.

 

Ranked 10th in their Power Rankings BTW... but those are elite level numbers.  Imagine how great this defense can be with a consistent pass rush.  How crazy is it that the secondary has played the best out of any group on the defense so far?? (granted Kuechly has been out)

it's awesome but let's temper our expectations considering they've gone against Bortles, Mallet and McCown so far

I don't think we need to temper our expectations.  This is something we've seen before, against much better receivers.  They were both rated very high by the end of last season.  It's not all that new.

I don't need to temper any expectations, because the only one I have is that they play to the best of their abilities.

 

As such, I'm just going to be happy to see that stat, regardless of who it is against, because they are doing it against NFL quarterbacks and wide receivers. Doing a damn fine job DBs! Keep it up!

    • I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔
    • I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.
    • I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
