With a 44-16 victory over the Redskins, the Kuechly-led Panthers’ defense limited the Redskins to 14 yards on 12 rushing attempts. In this breakdown, we will take a look at how the Carolina Panthers’ front seven achieved such a feat as they went on to win the game and go 10-0 for the season.

I was just entering the drive chart data into my spreadsheet...

The Redskins' yards totals form quarters 2 - 4 are really bad.

Q 1:  3 drives 91 yards (1 drive was their 99 yard K/O return for TD which shows up on the stats as "0 yards", so really this should be 190 yards total)

Q 2:  3 drives, 28 yards

Q 3:  4 drives, 21 yards

Q 4:  3 drives: 28 yards

"But the Redskins are just as bad as every other team the over rated 10-0 Panthers are.  They haven't beat anyone, not like Miami with Romo at the helm.  You know he once save 38 orphans with just his smile!  And Romo would be the best president ever but he's not running so he can concentrate on winning all the Championships for the Cowboys.  Did you know he can win not only the NFL Championship, but the NHL, NBA, CFB, Checkers and Chess at the same time, as well as the requisite number of miracles to be sainted...."

Some folks just refuse to accept that the Panthers are a really great team.  This shows how well the individual and group elements work in harmony.  And why we are so tough defensively.  Everyone with a halfway decent offense thought they would run through us because they thought we were overrated...and what happened?

Dallas could very well make a little bit of a run, but we're not going to rollover because we wish we were at home with our families.  They are going to have to beat us at what we do well:  blocking and tackling.

That was so beautiful.

That play right there is the dirty little secret the rest of the NFL don't want to face, it's not about how accurately Brady can launch the ball or how many one handed catches Odell Beckham can make. It's about fundamental football: out blocking, out tackling and winning at the line of scrimmage. At some point they will face the reality that their big men just aren't as fundamentally good as our big men.

Nice. 

Reminds me of Coach Bill Stewart's speech before the 2008 Fiesta Bowl. 

“It’s real simple: You out block them. You out tackle them. You out hit em. You out hustle em.

It works.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
