One DE sack in five games per B&B review

[Bartin]

CJ is going to be so salty after he gets cut.  He might even reach Smitty levels. Which is funny given his Kermit "none of my business" tweet after DeAngelo got cut last year. Of course he'd be wise not to talk crap on his way out given that he's opening a restaurant but I don't think he has the restraint to keep his mouth shut.

Good.

Maybe he'll sign with the Falcons for a multi-year, big money contract and steal their damn money.

Ealy played the highest snap % of all DEs in the Atl ass kicking.  The one game where we harassed a QB recently 

Allen and CJ have played a significantly higher % than other DEs vs NYG, Saints and today...were our secondary was abused b/c of lack of pressure

black and blue has the snap counts.  Very telling

About reps...and he ain't getting enough

Yep.   Ealy was one of the ones that improved the longer he was in the game.    Toward the end of games,  he was hitting the mark and getting the pressure.

That may be misleading since Ealy played the entire 4th quarter while Allen and CJ sat which would skew the final numbers. I'd be interested to see 1st half snap counts for that game but I'm not aware of anywhere that tracks that info.

I thought Ealy would get a lot of snaps at DT once CJ got back.  I don't know if that is happening enough it at all.

We don't need to take our DTs off the field.....they can play.

Lotulelei can't rush the passer all that well.  In 3rd and long situations, Ealy could be used to rush up the middle.  It would give him more snaps even with CJ on the field.  However with the way CJ is playing, Ealy needs to start and take the majority of the snaps at DE.

Ron and Sean and Mike do have a love affair with the highly paid veterans.

17 points is less than the average given up by the best defenses in the league. You can't win them all but you can't blame the defense too much for this one either. 

This^^^

Defense didn't play a great game, but they did manage to hold Atlanta to 20 points.

Had the Panthers offense scored even half the points that they normally do, chances are excellent that the team leaves Atlanta with a win today.

The Falcons punted once.

ONCE.

The low score was only due to the fact that BOTH teams, when they scored, took a LOT of time off of the clock.  It sure as hell wasn't because the defense made a critical stop.

Ealy! Ealy! Ealy!

c'mon who's on the wagon? It's time, CJ knows it.

Coaches need to sack up and change the rotation and starters. Send a damn message and let CJ whine, maybe it'll give him something to play for when he is out there. Looks like trash right now. He was on his damn knees most the game like a tool.

Doesn't alter the fact that the offense had ample opportunities and failed to capitalize.

Carolina didn't score even half the point's they've been averaging this season.

Defense was far from good today, but holding an opponent to 20 points would usually result in a victory for the Panthers.
