Are the Panther's an Offensive team now?

Now with Meeks, we will get full use of the defense. Which mean the offense should get the ball more, more scoring.

As good as the defense is, Do you think the team has taken a turn to be a more dominate offensive team? I know last year that's what we became. Will we stay that way?

what is that based off of?

I think the offense just has the talent to be more effective in the running game than prior Fox teams. I still think we basically have and will have the same philosophy while Fox is here.....

With all due respect Jangler...as good as the defense IS???

It isn't...yet, not in my eyes. Of course neither is the offense. It's 2009. What was in 2008 (ishtastic very disappointing D, good O) is no longer valid now.

^^^^

Yup

Right now our defense is only good enough to keep teams to about 300 yards and 25 points a game.

I dont consider that even CLOSE to good.

Matter of fact, thats terrible...

IMO, we don't have an explosive O, and we have a middle of the pack D.

We do have a very good running game, but need someone to step up on the other side of Smith to reach the next level.

That's the thing, though: our backs have as much big play ability as the best receivers in the league. Any given play, there's a chance Williams and Stewart will run for huge gains.

It may not be as flashy and pass-heavy as the Saints or the Cardinals, for instance, but I'd say our offense is definitely explosive.

So does that mean that you don't think Meeks will make the defense any better? You believe in the good year/bad year trend?

And I think Jarrett is going to have his break out year this year.

last year we didn't do anything different though as far as the offensive mindset....we just had a great OL and great RBs and ran over people. Hopefully, we do it again this year.

but I still don't see how the addition of Meeks means we NOW get the most out of the defense....I guess that just makes be a blind Fox hater.

So no upgrade over turdo?

I think the biggest strength of our defense is now OTHER TEAM will have to throw away all their "cheat cards" against us and re-learn what Meeks does here in Carolina.

But to say "as good as our D is now" in only the 3rd day of camp is silly.

Lets at least see a couple pre-season games.

At least we will have a reason to be more interested in all the pre-season games....

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
