Some Of Our Current Defensive Stats Might Shock You.

Carolina Panthers Defense through 6 weeks : 

  • #1 in sacks (27) (NE 2nd with 25)
  • #2 in interceptions (9) (NE 1st with 14) 
  • #2 in total takeaways  (15) (Tied with Steelers) (NE #1 with 16) 
  • #4 in turnover differential (+6) (3 way tie with Packers + Steelers) (NE #1 with +9) 
  • #11 in avg yards allowed per game (344) (NE 1st with 235) 
  • #9 in avg passing yards allowed per game (225) (49ers #1 with 150 damn!) 
  • #21 in avg rushing yards allowed per game (119) (Bucs #1 with 68) 
  • #14 in avg points allowed per game (22.2) (NE#1 with 8.0 holy poo.) 

What I gleaned from this , we're doing great putting pressure on opposing QBs and  taking the ball away, arguable the two most important defensive stats. Still top 10 passing D, above average almost everywhere except for rushing yards. 

I'm also realizing that the Pats defense is nasty this season. Also Niners have an elite passing (#1 in passing yards against)  and run stopping defense (#6 in avg rushing yards against) , which could be problematic.

I love switching a stout run d for a stout pass d. Those sacks are key and I fugging love them. The interceptions are the most surprising to me. Having a strong D isn't a surprise to me, it was literally the one thing we should always have under Rivera.

The only problem the defense has right now is aggregate stats that add up over time, because of the lack of consistent offensive production.

Here’s the offensive production on the day:

4 plays — (-2) yards — FG
3 plays — 0 yards — Punt
12 plays — 84 yards — Touchdown
3 plays — 0 yards — Punt
4 plays — 36 yards — Touchdown
3 plays — 3 yards — Punt
4 yards — 20 yards Punt
5 yards — 39 yards FG
1 play — 8 yards — Touchdown
10 play — 75 yards — Touchdown
3 plays — (-4) yards — Punt
3 plays — 4 yards — Punt
3 plays — (-4) yards — FG
3 plays — 9 yards — Punt
4 plays — 1 yard — Missed FG

Out of 15 drives, 13 resulted in 5 or fewer plays run. Of those 13 drives, 7 of them were 3-and-outs w/ only one of them resulting in a FG. That is NOT inspiring football on the offensive side of the ball. With our defense giving them 7 turnovers and 7 sacks, there’s simply no excuse for our offense dragging along late in the game. It’s even more ridiculous that despite the sacks and turnovers, the Bucs had a legit chance to come back near the end.

    • Yeah and he succeeded at an even higher level in LA with an even better surrounding cast. Goff is a guy that isn't really able to dramatically elevate players around him but he can make a good situation even better. He is capable of that. Some QB's aren't. I am not sure Dak is able to do that and he is in a similar "class" as Goff, IMO.
    • i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know.  back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments.  i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.
    • I think he is just drawing a DC to them line and that's about as far as his thought process went. It makes almost no sense outside of that. Also, it doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh or Seattle at this juncture either.  I think our "veteran" pool is basically gonna be the Dalton/Flacco tier or the "pick your poison" options of young busts(Jones/Z. Wilson) or wild, TO prone gunslingers(Darnold/Winston/etc). We have the option to pursue I genuinely believe(depending on the way the rest of this season goes), we either draft a QB in the top 10 or resign Dalton. Outlier third option on taking one of the wild gunslingers that Dave feels like he can work with.
