Jared Allen knows he needs to get better...

"We have to get more heat up front – that’s definitely part of it," said defensive end Jared Allenicon-article-link.gif , the NFL’s active career sacks leader. "We need to win our four-man rushes and force (quarterbacks) to be uncomfortable."

Allen knows production off the edge needs to increase with the playoffs looming.

"I can only speak for myself, and I’m a harsh critic," Allen said. "We have to get there faster. That’s all part of the game. You have to grind through those low times and take advantage of the opportunities when you get them."

Since joining the Panthers' D-line rotation via a trade with the Bears back in Week 4, Allen has started all 11 games he’s played but recorded just one sack.

IMO, the Superbowl hinges on the defensive front four of Carolina. If they can get pressure regularly... they are in. 

 

If not..... well....

Agreed, if we can't get to Wilson/Palmer/Rodgers etc....we will not make it very far in the playoffs, especially with yet another "down" special teams year.

In the game this past week they were doing a replay and it was from Jared Allen's side of the field.  I was looking at Allen and wondering what the hell a tight end was doing lining up on the defensive line.  Dude looks small compared to other d-lineman.  Don't know if he was always that small but seems to me if he were then he must've been super quick and fast to get so many sacks like he used to.  And quicks and speed are the first things to go as you age so that may be what his problem is in not being able to get any sacks.

I think our only hope is that come playoff time Allen,Johnson, Harper and Tillman realize there are no more Sundays for them and drink from a magical testosterone fountain of youth and our coaching staff smart  enough to let the younger guys take majority of snaps

i was pretty sad after Sunday  losing to Atlanta in a lifeless performance not something any of us wanted to see.

I think the front four, save KK got comfortable with the streak and didn't really give it 100%. I really do hope that I'm right, cause if not then we have bigger problems.

I said it the day we lost Bene, our season relies more heavily than ever in the shoulders of our front four.

Zero sacks from the edge in 5 games is a recipe to see exactly what we did last Sunday:

Dint get me wrong, I'm not the sky is falling type of guy, I think they already know it and will address it. 

We're 14-1 and Super Bowl bound baby

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
