He can't coach run defense here and he couldn't coach it at Indy either. But damn if he can't coach pass defense.

For people that don't know we are #2 at stopping the pass in the league. Maybe Peppers is earning his money... I mean... it isn't like we didn't play the Eagles, the Falcons, and the Cowboys. If our defense tightens up our run defense with the help of Mr. Thomas then maybe we can win by just keeping our turnover loving offense off the field.

It's not hard to defend the pass if the opponent is offered an easy running game. Right now, opponents aren't using a short passing game on us because they'll have a better chance of picking up 4-6 yards on the ground. That means they are relying on the pass only for longer pickups, which have a lower success rate.

That being said, things are looking up on the run defense side, so perhaps we're seeing a firming up of the defense. I certainly hope so.

Meeks' defenses in Indianapolis were also usually in the top five when it came to the amount of rushing attempts against them. His run defenses were usually pretty bad across the board, and it follows that that was the first thing opposing offenses usually attacked. He had the prototypical small, fast Tampa 2 defensive line to work with in Indy.

Well certainly the browns, the bucs, and the raiders would be up there with us too? Oh wait... no they're not...

...WELL certainly opposing teams average yards per catch would be high if the stat was truly misleading... Oh wait...we're #10 overall in that department as well.

Find another negative point to be the reason our pass offense is #2 in the league you trolls.

they have yet to be tested this year b/c we have been so weak against the run......

Julius Peppers leads the team in passes defended...that is an big indication the secondary has not been tested or proved anything.

That is because we average giving up over 180yds rushing (except the Washington game). You don't have to pass when you can gash a defense on the ground.

That is a misleading stat if I ever saw one.

pretty much.

the Panthers' pass defense has been thrown at the least amount of times a game besides the Giants and Buccaneers, but have been rushed against the 8th most attempts per game.

It coincides with the fact that the offense can't run or pass well, can't sustain a drive, and can't score a lot of points, so chunks of yardage aren't needed through the air in a short amount of time as much and it's more of a ball control battle between us and our opponents.

      He ain't singing another 1 year $4M deal. He needed to get out of here to show what he could do and he has. Now clue about the Commander's cap situation but they should lock him up.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      By Dave Gettleman's Shorts · Posted

      Cam's been on record multiple times publically showing displeasure with many of the moves and decision made in the Tepper era starting with Matt Rhule. We all knew Cam's second stint was a PR stunt during a lost season to help drive some fan excitement. But Cam has stated that he was set up for failure by Tepper/Rhule when he was starting just a week after resigning w/o knowing any of the playbook. Then Joe Brady was fired midseason just as they were game planning over the bye week. Plus Sam Darnold's beef/jealousy when Cam was resigned. Cam has also stated how Tepper/front office/and coaching staff has failed regarding the development of Bryce Young. Cam has also directly said he wanted to be Panther's president in order to help with marketing and driving fan's interest which Tepper has likely ignored.  We all know that Tepper is the petty type specifically buying his former boss's house and demolishing it afterwards, having beef with reporters, throwing drinks at fans, etc.

      Could not agree more, he has the frame to add LB bulk. His biggest strength is playing near the LOS, great pursuit and closing speed. Man, it pains me that we let him go entering his prime, he signed a 1 year 4 mill contract. Ian Thomas, Shy Tuttle, Ashawn Robinson, Miles Sanders,  Josh Yijiam, etc so many over paid players and we don’t pay young talent.
