Star has broke foot, out for playoffs

This a huge loss. I'm not that confident in Dwan or Cole being able to fill the void.(Messes with the rotation too) Star was playing his best football, probably of his career, in the 2nd half of the season. He'll be missed for sure.

Panthers were 0-2 without Star, gave up 149 rushing YPG, to the 31st and 14th ranked rushing offense.  

 

 

That's a pretty misleading statistic. Our entire team was in a different place at that point. We simply were not playing good football overall.

 

There was also the factor of having different starters, like on our OL, and in our secondary.

That's not right.

 

The rush D gave up 149 in both games combined, so that should be 74.5 YPG on 3.3 ypc.

This.  The secondary, in particular, played a big role in those games.  Both games featured a very long run due to a member of the secondary not filling his gap or taking an absolute terrible angle on the ball carrier.

 

However, I also noticed in those games that the offensive lines were more frequently able to generate push in the middle of our defense than with Star in there.  That sometimes allows an O-Lineman to get to the second level and block our LBers, leaving the tackling duties to the underperforming at the time secondary.

 

Football really is the epitome of a team sport.  Star's absence alone didn't lead to those terrible games in defending the run, but it did contribute.
