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???

    • Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.
    • I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.
    • When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
