Guess who is now ranked number 1 in total defense? Thats right, we are!. We have a special group of guys out there on defense. let me be the first to say that everytime I see Thomas Davis on the field, I get a childlike grin. This guy went threw adversity with his football career in jeporady and he bounce back like a warrior. Seeing him on the field does wonders. Luke. What can I say about him that hasn't already been said. He is a great field general, enough said. Our front 7 is making a good argument at being the best in the league.

 

What is surprising to see this year, is great safety help. Mitchell has been great on the field. From hard hitting, to great positions for picks, he is what we have been missing. If our offense can be more consistent, we all will be in for a treat this year. Next week is critical. We have two games (Sunday and Thursday) If we win both (both are winnable) we will be looking at above .500 for the first time in the Rivera era. Let's go panthers.

One thing I do love about Rivera are his defenses.

Front 7 is gold, cant wait to see what some studs in the secondary would do for us. Dbs holding up pretty good as is.

Rivera has made pedestrian defenses into great ones without talent. He actually has a good nucleous here and it could be special

There is no question in my mind. 

 

We have the best defense in the NFL.  Its up to the offense as to how far we go.  The defense isnt perfect(see Buffalo) but ive watched a lot of games and I dont see another defense id trade ours for.

one thing I noticed was Blackburn and Kuechly seem to have developed a good relationship.  Blackburn also made a few plays just based off of pre-snap recognition.  He looks like a great replacement to Beason.

 

 

I agree! I love the pickup. Our Lb core seems to have great chemistry with each other. I am loving it. I have to give Rivera and McD credit. They put together a great D

Unfortunately, seems to be the opposite effect he has on his offenses.

 

And I can't be 100% sold on Rivera's Panther defenses, when they continually allow rookie, mediocre, and good QB's alike to come back in improbable scenarios, snatching away near certain victory from the Panthers so many times. Sorry, that can't be easily overlooked or dismissed if you're supposed to be a great defense. 

 

At this stage, I'll call them a good defense, till proven otherwise. They've only played 5 games to boot. 

 

Ron Ron needs to maintain the game plan and aggression, on both offense and defense to close or in close/tight games. 

 

Now if the offense scores more points, then the defense won't have to be so great. However, I'm not so sure Ron Ron can let both sides loose playing good opponents or in close games? It seems like he feels the pressure, and adjust the play calling (see Buffalo) on both sides of the ball when the games means something. We'll see?

 

Good Luck against the Rams Panthers!!

I agree.  A decent amount of NYG fans didn't mind seeing Blackburn go and didn't think much of him.  

 

He's really stepped up big and looks faster/more instinctive than he did in the big apple.  Maybe it's the change in position.

The secondary has stepped up far beyond what I thought they would at the start of the season. I think our front seven makes it a lot easier for them. If the offence becomes consistent we could make a solid run.

 

Not to be a debbie downer but they havent exactly faced a good passing attack yet. lets wait until we play the Saints or Brady before rushing to judgement.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By strato · Posted

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
