This is a get right game for the Carolina Panthers defense.

I hope so. Personally, I believe the defense is overrated. They have a tendency of allowing opposing offenses to score on their opening drive and when our offense scores, the defense allows a score (Has already happened in both games this year). They do well on 1st and 2nd down, but it can be 3rd&25 and they still allow a first down.

but what does that have to do with our crappy defense and the point of the thread?

I don’t think our defense is really that good this year. Maybe middle of the pack.

This will be a tough outing. I expect Dalton to find plenty of success through the air against a pretty bad secondary (who is dealing with a couple of injuries at positions we have 0 depth at).

I thought the Bradbury and Jackson played pretty darn good against Atlanta.  They held Sanu and Jones about as good as you can hold them.  Now, Captain on Ridley on the other hand....that was not pretty.

As is our offensive line, apparently.

They did fine that game.

Jackson looks to be out this week, however, and we got absolutely gashed on the stretch zone rushing attack. The blueprint is out - run at our defensive ends. Make Luke look human. Profit.

Jackson said he's good to go.

Oh, I didn’t see that. Just noticed he didn’t practice yesteday with a groin injury.

That makes it a little better.

they do have a healthy A.j green, Eiffert and Boyd. This is gonna be a tough game for our defence and our OLine against a good defensive front.

I would add John Ross, especially if Jackson isn't 100%.

Ross has 2 catches for 11 yards

I've got to stop paying attention to the preseason.

So many people dissing our defense in this thread. 

Bruhs... it was ONE game. I know how the Huddle works and all, but this is TOO reactionary.

Yep our best receiver in preseason was Mose Frasier

[Cary Kollins]

We’ll see. Atlanta just gave the league the blueprint to make this defense look really bad.

We had 3 defenders that couldn't stop Matt Ryan from rushing in the end zone.  He ran through 3 defenders. That summed up the game right there.
