No reason for my bad, wasnt blaming you.... I was blaming PFF. They did repost it cuz the date is updated.

Yep, they posted it right after the Norman deal.  It's vacation week for nfl peeps so a rerun was in order I suppose.

NFL's worst secondary? a092e2450bff2926a1ea7b8c68e96e5b.png watch this.

Nice find for those of us not in the tweeterverse. Glad to see someone in our secondary saw this, and hopefully that will be motivation for them.

 

I feel like we will have some growing pains early on in the season in the secondary, but our pass rush will still be intact so we will make due as the rookies get up to nfl speed

1st of all, Norman didn't even get the most interceptions by a Panther last season.

I really hate when anybody (fan, writer, whomever) makes such a statement when rookies will be a big part of that equation. 

Saying we have the worse secondary in the NFL because Norman is gone, and we're relying on a couple of rookies, is just lazy. 

Fact is, we won't know anything until we're into the season, and the roomies will get better in the second half of the  season. What are they gonna say when our defense is still a top defense?

"But who did you play?" Haha 

I'm with you, we will take our lumps early but our defense as a whole has shown it can mask weaknesses in the secondary. We are simply too talented up front to not succeed. I think Worley is gonna be a stud, when he puts it all together and learns his role in our scheme he's gonna ball.

It's because of their front seven, that's why their rookie's look so good.  Come on, you're not new here.  You know how this rhetoric works.

As of right now ... with the unknowns ... its a fair assessment.  Peanut and JNo are gone.  Bene is coming back from an injury.  Other than Bene, we have rookies and a couple journeymen.  Not very strong on paper.

I understand what you are saying about JNo not having the most interceptions but that doesn't account for everything.  Opposing teams had to account for him in their gameplan.  Also, McD could roll safety coverage away from JNo, which made it even tougher.  JNo's absence, and the lack of a credible replacement (at this point), opens up the field.  It's going to hurt.  We just don't know how bad yet.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
