Carolina's defense says its ready to pick up the tempo

Good article, I read one similar to it on another website and I think the thing that stands out is that the leaders of the defense are ready to go which should trickle down to everyone. One thing that does get annoying after a while is the whole allowed 30 points in the last 7 games last year. Well here is what's important, we were 5-2 during that stretch and we played some of the best offensive teams in the league. Falcons, Saints, Packers, Broncos (last year), and Giants, I wish people would get over that. As long as we score more points than we give up that's the only stat that matters.

You can’t blame fans if they’re a little skeptical and prefer to take a wait-and-see approach, especially given the questions marks at defensive tackle where Louis Leonard and Sunny Harris were brought in to replace Kemoeatu.

It’s been awhile since the defense allowed them to stand and cheer for the Panthers. They steadily declined late last season, going from allowing fewer than 15 points per game through the first nine games to 28 per game over the final seven.

Don't they know we'll get in trouble with security for that???

    • 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.
