Andy Benoit on Panthers D

[TheSpecialJuan]

This year’s Panthers defense is more dangerous than the 2015 unit that went to Super Bowl 50. The secondary is better, and first-year coordinator Steve Wilks runs a blitz-intensive scheme. This is a radical change from ex-DC Sean McDermott, a shrewd but judicious blitz-caller. Most teams that blitz a lot need matchup corners. The Panthers, however, are so fast at linebacker that they can afford to consistently blitz out of zone. Instead of four underneath defenders protecting their single-high coverage, there are only three. But the three are Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis and Shaq Thompson. It might as well be four. Expect more blitzing this Sunday; the Panthers will see it as a way to defend Minnesota’s ground game and force Case Keenum to dink-and-dunk like he did last week against a Falcons defense that held the Vikings to 14 points.

How do you compare Andy Benoit to Chris Benoit huge difference.

[KillerKat]

Nope. Secondary better? loll

[GoobyPls]

This secondary is not better than the 2015 team, not even close.

 

People keep forgetting that first half of that season our pass rush was abysmal and Luke missed a few games, the secondary were the ones carrying the load.

Fake news.

[pantherj]

We're bad at safety, we have zone corners who don't make plays, good o-lines neutralize our pass rush, TD is on his last leg, Shaq has plantar fasciitis, our DC's answer to everything is blitz which puts our below average secondary out in space trying to tackle track stars on steroids, Luke is reacting to what's going on around him like we're going to break the all time Panthers record for busted plays, BUT " this year’s Panthers defense is more dangerous than the 2015 unit that went to Super Bowl 50" FUUUUUCCCKKK NO.

[Saca312]

lmao what sorry even ill say right now our defense is nowhere close to 2015s.
