Peppers had half a sack against SF and he had 2 sacks against Buffalo.  For a grand total of 2.5 on the season.

Honestly, it's hard for us to rag on any defensive player through 2 games. They haven't been on the field too long which is a great thing but bad for their stats. We have been great against the run, created pressure against the pass and have been killing it on 4th and short.

Damn I love seeing "Peppers" on that stat sheet under "Carolina Panthers" aroused.

As suspected, Johnson not doing much.

What about pass defensed?

Johnson is an edge setter which forces the runner to either break outside or inside. Luckily the safeties and linebackers have been covering the correct gaps and making those tackles. Johnson is playing as the type of guy to keep the second level free to make plays at the LOS. 

Shows how much you know.

D looking beastly just wait when Cj wakes up its going to be g status we might be the Broncos d of 2015 I just hope we get that oh going though good kalil needs to be healed and the bad kalil needs to man the f up ya herd 

Johnson isn't playing the role of pass rusher at this point. He is playing to be a solid run defender and allow the second level (play makers) to stay clean and make plays on the ball. Expect to see more Addison and Peppers this week to ramp up the pass rush.
