If You've Been Wondering About Our Pass Rush...

Stopping the run and blitz pressure doesn’t mean anything if you have Elder and Munnerlyn out there getting embarrassed on basic coverage concepts.

Watching Munnerlyn play 10 yards off the ball, then tentatively approach the WR after making an uncontested catch to ensure he didn't blow past him, only to watch him still whiff on the tackle was one of the most painful things I've ever seen live, and I've watched my wife push both my kids out...

Reading OPs post ,I agree with him on the age of the panthers  DLine

having watched browns, cowboys, heck the Seahawks D line I see speed agility that I didn’t see with Panthers , that split second Panthers were late clearly gives time to a Qb to step aside and complete a pass

Munnerlyn was dominant against Baltimore’s 11 personnel, but he’s been really suspect since.

It’s interior pressure. Short has to win inside, and we need to be able to win rushing 4.

should you really be surprised? Mario Addison : 31 yrs old / Peppers = 39 in January /  KK  is nearly 30 , Poe is 28 but would be 29 heading into next year .

I'm sure some of it is Washington's coaching but sweet fuging jesus man, our pass rush has been god aweful and I believe age is a huge factor. We need to spend probably at least 2 or 3 of our top picks next year on the D-line. 

Obviously no one with the brain size larger than an ant is surprised.  

And this man is still 30 with the tread of a 25 year old.  And cheap.

No one should really be surprised. We were in cap hell for years and only had 7 draft picks to help every year. This year's FA was a total bust as well. Simply put our team doesn't know how to evaluate players thus eventually we run out of talent.

hes likely going in the top 5 unless hes got a serious medical condition. He's the Myles Garret of this incoming draft. 

Trade up Hurney DO IT. Just look at how Cam Newton and Mccafery have helped this team.

That 4th and 3 with Elder May have been one of the worst plays I have ever watched.

Get the little Bosa brother.

We're going to need to lose-out and then still trade up to get Nick Bosa.

Lot of D-Line talent in this draft. It's time to re-invest in an aging defense.

Here's the DL the Panthers drafted for the last 5 drafts. No capital spent in 2015 coupled with what look like poor selections on Butler and especially Hall, plus the flame out of Ealy. With no young production from players on rookie deals, the Panthers have had to rely on older (and generally more expensive) players.

• 2018 : 4th rounder on Haynes, a OLB to DE conversion and a 7th round pick on a DT.
• 2017: 3rd rounder on Hall
• 2016: 1st rounder on Butler (Cowboy's starting DT Collins was a 3rd rounder, their other starter Woods was a UDFA)
• 2015: No DL selected. 
• 2014: 2nd rounder on Ealy (Cowboy's starting DE Lawerence was pick 34)

The oldest DL Dallas started last night was Crawford (29), 3rd rounder in 2012.

Once again.

It’s blitz pressure. And that’s leading to a lot of man to man situations, many of which we are losing badly. 

The absence of interior line pressure has killed this team in 2018.

Or....we should be able to blitz because we have DB who can handle man to man.

[RumHam]

There was one deep pass last weekend where i basically saw Panthers just stand face to face with his guy and not get around. He's always been prone to taking plays off.

At minimal we need to get a pass rusher in FA and one in the first round
