Shitty article. They are still beating the drum that no one was added to make up for the loss of Peppers. This article was written just 2 days ago...so, the author must not have watched any of the Panthers Defensive performances in preseason.

Another fluff piece by somone who knows nothing about this team.

Maybe the writer's just not so quick to declare our defense "fixed" based on 3 pre-season performances.....

But, he is quick to call it broken because an inconsistent player left....it works both ways.

And, he did not mention the agressive play and results once. Would have respected tha article more if he had mentioned it, and then said that they would need to take that level of play into the regular season. He didn't. The article sounds like a regurgitation of preseason articles from months ago.

Nothing new.

from game to game peppers was inconsistent.

most of his 10 sacks would come from just a few games where he would get 2 or 3 sacks. the rest of the time....meh.

Agreed.

I watched parts of the Chicago game yesterday on NFLN. I found myself laughin gout loud watching Peppers. He had a couple of good plays. However, there was play after play after play where he made one move and then stopped. He just stood there watching the play. It was like old times.

Contrast that with the way our DLine is agressively after EVERY play. Peppers will not be missed. Glad to see his underperfroming $20 million ass in another uniform.

for someone that hasn't watched the panthers this preseason. the defense deserves a lot more optimism than what that article has shown.

the offense...not so much.

I mean, I agree that the D has looked better than expected and I hope that the performance carries over, but you can't blame any writer for refusing to put stock in the preseason. Chris Johnson had 10 yards on 8 carries - does that mean he's going to average fewer than 1 yard per carry in the regular season? Bottom line is our team is "unproven" until the season starts and it can be proven otherwise.

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      Some of you who are not sold on Canales are insane. His main purpose was to turn around Bryce Young’s career and he did that. Of all of the teams in the top 10 of the NFL draft, we were the team that was consistently showing the most fight week in and week out. Our players never quit on the season. The offense which he is responsible for took a huge step forward compared to last year, despite the lack of skill talent  that we have. It was our defense that was a mess. That’s one of my critiques on Canales. He should’ve gotten rid of Evero and hired his own DC that shares the same vision. But as a whole, I can’t see how people are not pleased with what Canales did with this team. I’d give him an 9/10

      QB School: Bryce Young vs Falcons

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      One of the first thoughts after the game yesterday was that JT was going to jump all over it. He's been more favorable about BY from the beginning, and so yesterday must've felt like Christmas.

      Mock Draft from the 33rd Team

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Maybe, but they were always going to be an impossible team to accurately mocked right now. They have an absurd amount of cap room, what they need right now will not be what they need come draft day.  They can make multiple big splash signings and even make trades for players who need new contracts and their teams don't want to give it to them. OT and WR might be their two biggest needs right now, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to think they could go into the draft needing neither of them.  I think a LT will be their top FA priority, also think they're going to make a big offer to Higgins, and I could see them being a team in the running to trade for someone like DK Metcalf as they need a WR like him and they have the cap space to give him a big new contract.
