Front 7: Panthers Sack Counter!

[saX man]

This is going to be fun to watch this season...in our first four games:

Mario Addison

5.5 Sacks (On pace for 22 sacks a quarter of the way through the season.  Not happening but yeah lol)

Brian Burns

2.5 Sacks (Showing some pep; I like what I've seen)

9 QB hits

Christian Miller

2 Sacks (He was minimized with Bruce back but is my favorite rookie)

Shaq Thompson

2 Sacks

Bruce Irvin

1 Sack

Dontari Poe

1 Sack

Vernon "Da Fuq did that come from?" Butler

1 Sack

So much depth too, Rivera might finally be on to something defensively. Even in the year of Monsters Inc and DPOY Luke I don’t believe they’re better than what’s being fielded today.

Overall at least

Honestly, I think Irvin is in a great spot here as well.  Miller got a dose of game time early and showed what he's about.  Now he can slowly work his way into things. 

Burns will quickly emerge as a star.  I liken him to Matt Judon but with even more upside given his get off speed.

Such a deep crew.

Looks like McCoy will not be making much money then

Sacks aren't everything.  McCoy was a force of nature yesterday.

Damn imagine when KK gets back.

On 3rd and 4+ we put 3-4 DEs and dropped everyone into coverage.  Those 4 guys wrecked havoc.

I’d like to think this too but he’s been underwhelming in the sacks department. 
 

10 sack kk might be gone but even if he doesn’t get that production he’s still a good player who can make impact plays.

McCoy forced at least one of those sacks yesterday. You don't grade interior defensive linemen on sacks anyways.

I did see mccoy getting good pressure at times but you do grade guys like mccoy and short on sacks. You dont grade guys like poe and lotulelei on sacks.

I know that. But his contract was set up in him getting sacks

Yeah that's what I'm saying.  Short's presence will help everyone out even if he isn't getting sacks.

And holy crap, now that I think about it, our front seven is so damn talented that I forgot we had Kyle Love!  It's only a matter of time before he starts making plays too, he always does. 

Irvin, Burns, Addison, Miller, Haynes, McCoy, Short, Love, Thompson, Poe, Kuechly... a ridiculous front seven.  Even Jermaine Carter has been playing very well this year.

I could really tell that Bruce Irvin was providing some pass rushing juice yesterday.  He is going to be a big addition once he gets up and running at 100% again.  He was all over the place yesterday.

I don't believe this is accurate.  A great season for an interior lineman in the sack department is something like 8.
