Panthers Are One Of Three Teams To Not Allow A 100+ Yd Receiver OR 100+ Yd Rusher

Something interesting I saw. With our supposed bad secondary, we have been pretty decent for the most part.

Put that more on the Front 7, they have really dominated this year.  Would like to find a stat on league pressuring the QB, we have to be at the top. 

 

There has been several times is games this year where the WR were open but the QB rushed and throws over, short, out of bounds etc.

This Defense reminds me a Lot of 2013 where the front 7 made the DBs look great.  That group with White, Mike Mitchell etc looked real good to when the front 7 was doing work

Secondary is better this year when healthy. I was on Shaq hype early on but we need to let Captain play more nickel packages didn’t pay him $$ for nothing.

Yeah, I know Shaq has loads of athletic potential but never saw the ability to cover.  Thus the very reason I was never a fan of him a prospect at Safety.  Just like TD, just a LB with the athletic ability of a Saftey, just not the skills.

 

Secondary Is Way better than last year, but thats not saying to much considering how bad last years was.  They are good and get the job done but just not Great yet.

Just like 2013 where Melvin White etc looked solid but was somewhat masked by a elite looking Front 7

This defense has 1 interception through 6 games.

We haven't faced a truly elite WR yet and we're tied for 2nd in the league in sacks. The no 100 yard receiver stats definitely isn't because our secondary is playing so great. Overall rushing defense has been pretty damn good. Another tip of the cap to our front seven there.

I wasn't too concerned with our lack of turnovers early on, but it's definitely getting to the point that it's concerning. I'm still hoping that the law of averages will kick in and we'll start getting them in bunches, but we'll see.

The receiving stat doesn't mean much if you're facing a diverse offense with a quarterback (e.g., Brady and Brees) spreading the ball around, throwing to ten different guys.

Hopefully the law of averages kicks in, we are in the bottom of the league with Cleveland, Chicago, and the Bengals in turnover ratio.  Not good company to be in.

Us not being able to be able to punch out a fumble or grab a int is pretty concerning to me.  You always......Always hear that if you cant win the turnover game you cant win the game.  

2015 our 15-1 season, we led the NFL in turnover ratio with +20        we are -6 now

I think it will happen.  Panthers are #2 in the NFL in sacks.  TO will come....especially when we hit this stretch of the next 5 games with some QBs that will be much more turnover prone.
