There was about a 10 minute period there in the 3rd quarter

Where our defense was aggressive as hell, going after Dalton and messing up his timing and creating turnovers.

 

Why, after that, did we go back to mostly only rushing four and playing soft zone?

 

Was there a particular defensive injury I didn't notice that could account for that soft-defense philosophy after using an aggressive, attacking D that worked?

What's killing us are the new rules. Our secondary is mediocre like last season, but they aren't athletic enough to cover without being physical. Pair that with the loss in run defense and pass rush from Hardy and you have the answer.

Get back Hardy and this defense improves greatly. Hoping the Green Bay game is the last game he's out.

    • I think that looked much better on Bryce's part than tmacs.  He made a really good adjustment to the ball but his separation is what is always going to worry me, he had absolutely none with Jackson on that play, Bryce threw him open.
    • I wouldn't be mad at it. I often call Luke "the best ILB that I've ever seen," and I've watched the game in earnest since I was nine, but I think there is more going on with Steve Smith---meaning it's political---than perhaps should be. I understand that he was not the nicest person---an asshole at times basically. People don't or didn't like him. That being said, he's still 8th all time in receiving yards, ahead of guys who have their gold jackets:   * Marvin Harrison (9th)  * Andre Johnson (11th)  * James Lofton (12th)  * Cris Carter (13th)   At some point, Smitty has to be inducted solely based upon the numbers (not to mention producing big results at his stature in a big man's game). I can see the snub early due to his temperament, but I hope it doesn't become a "thing," and I don't think Panthers fans, or NFL fans in general, should stay silent about it if it does.
    • for those who can't see the Twitter post, I'm assuming this post is about the list published in February with Greg and TD?    https://sports.yahoo.com/10-great-nfl-players-eligible-035121461.html
