This D is going to be really special this year.

If we can prevent big gap runs, I think this defense could be historically good. 

I know Pats have a weak schedule but my god their D is ridiculously good right now. 

I want a Pats vs Panthers SB with us getting revenge!

Beating the Pats in the Superbowl is my dream scenario.

It almost feels like Ron has said “screw run defense, we are all in on defending the pass because that is how offenses are putting up points”

The Packers look like they are doing something similar and the Eagles finally adjusted in the 2nd half against them and ran all over them in their comeback.

It has worked well for us so far. Teams have been able to run against us but it really hasn’t led to many points. Interested to see what Jax and Fournette do. He just had a huge game against the Broncos.

That is my biggest concern!

 

I do not mind letting another team rack up rushing yds against us, but the explosive runs concern me.

Like how LF did against the Broncos.

Given how the NFL is so geared towards passing these days, this seems like a reasonably workable approach for the most part. Passes that give up big chunks of yards are far more common than runs that do.

Well we have something the Packers don’t. Luke Kuechly. I think Ron trusts Luke to limit those and prevent their big runs from overwhelming us.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
