Chris Harris and Aggressive Defense

Anyone else noticed since he came back our defense has been hitting harder than before??? I saw 2 good hits Harris put on the ballcarrier, one resulting in an incompletion on what would have been a 1st down and another on the runner where he lowered his shoulder and sent him flying sideways. I like that kind of aggression as it helped set a tone on defense. Thought he deserved recognition. Will we continue to see this kind of aggression throughout the year?

And how did Landon Johnson do in place of Thomas Davis? I saw one good play where he pushed the lineman into the runner and made a tackle for a loss.

Johnson was decidedly "meh" but not as bad as I figured he would be. Still no match for Thomas Davis.

Harris's return has been HUGE for the entire team though, having him on the field is a big boost despite the rumblings amongst some fans that he may be a bit overrated in Pantherland. I'm pretty sure they were proven wrong.

If a change at QB doesn't happen and happen soon, I can see the Defense start to say to hell with it.

Doubt it. Maybe some people (like Peppers), but others such as Davis, Beason, and Harris, I don't see them quitting based on their demeanor and personality. Collectively, they'll play their ass off. Individually, we might see a few lose their way. In that case, get rid of them at the end of the year.

How about that Jonathan Beason stop on Terrell Owens on third down? He ran across the field and put a serious tackle on him.

My second favorite play of the game. (First was Smitty's long catch in the fourth quarter to give us a chance to get back in the game...:()

well, it ain't all Harris though. Improved DT has done a lot for the team...better play has resulted from the entire DL and LBs imo as a result. It would be awesome of Hollis could make it the entire season.

Chris Harris has always been considered one of the best hitters on the team and has some big playmaking ability....he just sucks in coverage.

      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      You realize the Commanders and Texans both had trash rosters. That's how they ended up with the #2 pick.   How all of sudden they go from bottom feeders to a playoff team the following season?   I think you don't realize the true impact of a franchise QB. It's crazy people still trying to debate the value of the QB position.   Y'all living in the 90's football isn't played that way anymore. The Baltimore Ravens dominate defense won in a different era. This is a QB era. You can't hit them like you could in the past. The rules have changed in favor of the QB.   Look at the elite teams in the league they all have elite QBs. Without the QB your franchise is going nowhere.   7 years under Tepper and fans still haven't realized this. Well keep ignoring the QB position and we will keep sucking. It's really that simple.

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

      He needs to retire. His short stint returning to play for us showed Ho bad his shoulder had degraded.  No team is going to sign him. As soon as he retires the celebration of his career can begin.

      The recipe over the last 5 years: 1. draft a guy with high athletic ability at a position of need.  2. play him out of his natural position because you have a big hole to fill. 3. watch him struggle.  4. let a young and promising talent grow depressed and apathetic because a God forsaken franchise is ruining what he has busted his ass his entire life to achieve.  The only reason Luke moved to the middle was because Beason got hurt. Think about that. It’s complete arrogance of the coaching staff to tell a player where he’s better suited… or the mark of a desperate team who drafts out of need.    This is what happens to teams that draft poorly and have no depth. Constantly working from behind and drafting for need.
