Do the Panthers have a pass rush?

[Smithers]

Yeah.  This is like asking if the sky is blue. 

A better question would be...do the Panthers have coverage ability?

I really don't think we know at this point. So much hinges on getting pressure with just the base 4 and not blitzing. 

Do the Panthers have the goods to get to the QB?

We had better hope so. Considering how bad our offensive line is our season depends on it.

We finished 3rd in the league last year with 50 team sacks.  Did we lose our pass rush?  Basically the same rotation and same 4 guys up front...Poe might be better than Star.

Last year had a lot to do with heavy blitzing, rushing just the front 4 wasnt getting it done. And it looks like we are gonna be going away from that this year so thats why there is a reason to be concerned.

My real question

 

Is Horton worth

Cutting Obada- a youngster who is rising

Or

Cutting Hall- last years 3rd rounder with high upside that had to sitout his rookie year much like Curtis Samuel due to injurys

 

 

 

Horton has been a jag, solid rotation player but thats about it.   I just dont think he's worth cutting a young guy like those 2.  And even though its just pennies.  Cutting him and keeping them saves us 1 mil

All teams blitz...so I don't see how we are worse than last year statistically...we haven't lost anything. If anything I say we have the chance to be better.

[Tepper's Chest Hair]

I am more worried about roughing the passer calls.

I think the Panthers will do fine, we have a had issues generating pressing with the front 4 the last two seasons and that has not stopped them from leading the league in sacks over that same span.

All teams do blitz,  but WE BLITZED A LOT last year.  Anybody that knows this team well knows it was completely out of our norm last season. We got sacks but we gave up a lot more big plays too.

Not even close.

Not if the refs have anything to say about it.

Yeah no where close

They just lost their All-pro Center.

They lost a pro-bowl RT last year, they now have La'el Collins in at RT.  While he's a good player, he's a guard not a OT.  Looked good when he was in at RG but struggled at OT and now he's their starting RT.

Zach Martin, their all-world LG just went down with a knee injury.  But they should be back for week 1.  But will he be back to 100%?

[Carl Spackler]

I think our pass rush will definitely be good enough to lose us a game because we sacked the QB too much and drew a last-minute, drive-extending penalty. I'll guess it comes in Week 1 or Week 17.
