Panthers Week 1 PFF Grades - Defense
Josh Norman leads the defensive rankings this week, which should be obvious. Dwan Edwards and Kyle Love are at the bottom, highlighting a real need for Star to be healthy soon. PFF was not as forgiving of Kony Ealy as Ron Rivera was. Rivera stated Ealy was doing more of the grunt work, but his lack of pass rush remains a problem.

As anyone who has been following my kind of rambling posts in the Week 1 Stats & Analysis thread will have seen, I decided to try and analyze "big plays" for both teams, so I can track that statistic for each Carolina game this year. That led me to creating a visual representation of each drive of the game in regard to big plays & outcome of each drive. Incredible to see that not only did we shut out JAX in the 2nd half, but the did not even ever cross the 50 yard line in the 2nd half
