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 What was in 2008 (ishtastic very disappointing D, good O) is no longer valid now.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....

      I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.

      Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

      Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
