No Pass Rush

Biggest reason why we lost the game is that we couldn't generate any pass rush. I didn't see much blitzing out there which I think we should have done especially on 3rd down.

I blame this loss on poor coaching defensively. The zone was supposed to slow down the Falcons and prevent big plays but it allowed Matt Ryan to pick us apart. Even though the stats don't show, one third down conversion after another just killed us.

I'm really losing confidence in this coaching staff and probably the players are too. They looked content with keeping this one close and didn't have the killer instinct to go for the kill.

We also missed Chris Harris. We need some big hits in the secondary.

I love how The Panthers hire a new DC and they're still running the same lame ass vanilla D they ran last season. Why in the hell are the CB's still playing 10-15 yds off the WR. Even when The Falcons were near the endzone the CB's were still playing off. The Panthers need to learn how disguise their blitzes a lil better. God I wish we had Rex Ryan for our D coordinator lol.

The D handled the run pretty well, mainly due to the speed of the linebackers and the ability of the secondary to play the run. Against the pass though we were destroyed. The front 4 simply can't generate any pressure - and that includes Peppers - he doesn't require a double team, so the 'lesser' players on the D-line are never put in favorable matchups.

We basically play a cover 2 without actually causing the QB to rush his throws, resulting in the holes in the zones being exploited. It really is frustrating to watch.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo.

      2025 season

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
