Is this the best Panthers pass rush in franchise history?

[BurnNChinn]

Till they figure out Snow’s college defensive scheme lol. People come up with some crazy stuff, nobody wants to give the Panthers credit!

02, 03 and 13 had 4 down lineman just overpowering guys. Their dominant games had a different feel it to. Their hands are in the dirt and you know they’re coming. 
 

Our pass rush feels like we’re winning the chess match each time and I’m just waiting for someone to figure us out. Burns/Reddick win with speed. It’s crazy how they keep coming free, surely some OC is going to figure something out. 
 

Would love it log it takes all season though heheh.

I will always go 96 Salt n Pepper until I see different.

Del Rio is the DC for the WFT right now. They have given up 20,29,and 43. The game has passed both of them by.

Three turnovers (two on the Washington side of the field) had a lot to do with the 43.   Even a good defense needs some help from the offense, especially nowadays when the rules are so skewed towards offense.  

It hasn't been discussed much, but one of the reasons our points total this year looks so good is only 2 offensive turnovers in the first three games.

This pass rush just hits different. 
Kris, Pep, Ruck and Brenton were phenomenal but each one would disappear for stretches. 
 

These boys here are giving it all every single play. It’s just different. Playing with heart and intensity and within the scheme.

I think it could be. Even up against the days of Pepp and Rucker.

Jenkins had elite pass rusher DT skills for that time period. This is a tough call this early. Even the Hardy, KK, Star, CJ line is up there if not the best. Judging just pass rush, this current group is climbing ...

too soon for me to call

 

Zob since youre in a too soon mood, why not ask the real question- Who is the better defensive mind/coach - John Fox, Ron Rivera, or Phil Snow ??? What say thee?

Agreed, we had a super star in Pep, and an above average bookend in Rucker.  
(Im in no way knocking Ruck, Pep was just another species.)

Right now, we have an established veteran pass rush monster in Reddick, along side another genetic freak in Burns.

add Big Bad Leroy Brown and Daquan to that and it easily tops Jenkins + 1.

 

As tough as it is to admit, these youngin’s got us old timers licked.

We have a deeper, more capable rotation. 

[Basbear]

If you only view pass rush, marquis haynes is one of the better depth pieces.

Im no Zob, but I'm going to just say Snow. By far the most creative.

Del Rio was special, too bad we couldn't hold onto him

Del Rio rode the talent. He was never as good as many around here propped him up to be.

I didn’t even know he was still a thing.  Good for him.  More of a progressive approach but bravo.
