Five of our upcoming opponents were in the top 10 for run defense last year. Those 5 teams combined gave up 55 rushing TD's in 80 games. Looking at a rushing touchdown average of just .68 per game isnt promising, but then again, we do have much more then an average backfield.

Knowing that and what we've seen thus far, how many yards do you believe Williams will rush for this year? How many scores?

In my best Carl Sagan voice... How many yards? Billions and Billions!!!

DWill averaged 94.69 yards per game last year and JStew added 52.25 to that. The 16 defenses we play this year allowed 108.31 yrds per game. DWill got 64% of the carries leaving JStew with 35%. (the other 1% being Hoover, Goings, Smith, and Delhomme). Using those numbers we will rush for approx. 2128 yards this season. Our 2 backs getting the mjority of the work would look like this at the end of the year:

Player____Carries____Yards_____Avrg_____TD

DWill______266______1357______5.1_____16

JStew_____162_______730______4.5_____11

      [Charlotte Observer] Here are 7 intriguing waiver wire options the Panthers could consider

      Link to article Seven players mentioned are... ILB Mark Robinson (PIT) - 2022 seventh round pick that was a core special teams player and was productive in the final preseason game vs. CAR (3 TKLs, 1 FF, 1 FR). Undersized at 5'11" 235 lbs.  CB O'Donnell Fortune (NYG) - UDFA rookie out of South Carolina (and a Sumter native). 6'1", 185lbs frame fits the Panthers' preference for long and lanky CBs. Panthers' evaluators got a lot of time with him during the Shrine Bowl, his pro day, and the combine. CB Damarri Mathis (DEN) - 2022 fourth-round pick that played for Evero his rookie season at 5'11" 195lbs both inside and outside. Did well under Evero (16 games, 11 starts, 65 TKLs, 7 PBUs) but slid down the depth chart after he left. Started just seven of 27 games the last two seasons. DB Dean Clark (NYJ) - Fresno State UDFA with good size (6'1" 205lbs) and preseason production (5 TKLs, 1 INT, 2 PBUs) that can also play special teams. The Panthers have claimed a player from the Jets in each of the past two seasons (having also played the Jets both times in preseason though). OLB Brennan Jackson (LAR) - 2024 fifth-rounder that notched three sacks in the preseason. Played special teams and rotated in on defense that could potentially be an upgrade from DJ Johnson. DB Beau Brade (BAL) - 2024 UDFA that appeared in 11 games and played 70% of the special teams snaps. Has the size (6'0" 209lbs) that the team covets at safety. K Ben Sauls (PIT) - 24yrs old and went four-for-four against Carolina in preseason. Made 21 of 24 FGs during his final college season at Pitt.
