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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
