Carolina was one of THREE teams in 2017 to..

Throw in the Potential of Hall, the group is solid. Especially with the pass rush ability of our DTs.  

 

This defense is going to be the poo this year. 

[LinvilleGorge]

We really need Hall to step up. Not sure Peppers can repeat last year's success and we need someone to fill Pep's shoes after this season anyway. 

[CarolinaNCSU]

Hall becoming even a rotation guy this year helps a ton.  Pep is a HoF'er, but time is undefeated. 

[The Lobo]

Awesome. We need Hall, Horton and Haynes to step big time.

[Eazy-E]

Yeah but you know, that guy over on NFL.com says our D line isn’t top 10.

Addison is very underrated and doesnt get the praise here most would give other guys

You made a excellent point in the other thread about my homer glasses as far as defense and the secondary, which I've been meaning to address I completely agree with your assessments but then I think with a better pass rush better DT's less CJ more anybody groomed up under Eric(Hall/Cox) we should be able to reproduce those sack totals which is why I have so much faith in Ron and the D because he's knows how to field a strong unit regardless the overall players Luke/KK usually allow leeway in other positions.

Outside of a couple outlets, I have zero doubt our Dline is being slept on. Honestly I'd prefer we were under the radar. I like the underrated aspect.

KK: xPro Bowler/xSecond team All Pro

Poe: xPro Bowler/xSecond team All Pro

Pep: Future HOF ...aging but he shows up...

Addison: 20+ sacks the last two seasons (Most on the team) and currently tied for 1st in the NFL in Qb pressures at DE. 

The Star and Charles Johnson moves should immediately make us better. And I agree, Addison is underrated.

I honestly think Mario Addison is one of the most underrated players in the league, hell even among our own fanbase. The guy's a stud. He's an absolute salary cap bargain for what we get out of him vs. what other good pass rushers command. Peppers too for that matter.

Agreed. Usually guys who rack up 10 sacks a year on average get paid big bucks

Just getting Johnson off the field has to help.
