Urgency intensifies for Panthers' defense

Those defensive stats are troubling...

If we played an easier schedule I would be optimistic but it really doesn't get any easier. This game against Dallas is a must win for us which isn't good considering they are coming off a loss and Romo usually plays pretty well against us. The only good thing is that they don't have TO anymore. The bad news is they still have Roy Williams and Jason Witten. If another TE freakin torches us again I am going to be pissed...

This team needs to get it together this week or the season for all intents and purposes is over.

this goes along with beason saying that he isn't fluid with meek's system.

The team is 0-2 and the defense still hasn't fully grasped the system installed by new defensive coordinator Ron Meeks.

Strong safety Chris Harris said Monday the defense needs to find the cohesion that's been missing “soon, before it's too late.”

The new defense features a Cover 2 zone pass system, which has proven effective elsewhere and which Meeks used in Indianapolis in partnership with former Colts coach Tony Dungy.

Defensive tackle Damione Lewis descrbied the defense as a “totally different system” from what former coordinator Mike Trgovac employed.

Harris said it's been a good change, albeit gradual.

the defense should be somewhat improved on monday. i would hope that the light goes on during the bye week when they are practicing if it doesn't happen before.

i'm just ready for them to stop sucking.

Well, I hope it's 'totally different', because I didn't see much defense out of Trgo's 'system' last year, especially in the later games. It stands to reason that some time will be needed to adjust to what Meeks has installed. If our offense can come together when the defense does, we may be alright. Of course, the STs need to provide some real coverage on kicks. Time will tell.

have you noticed that mr peppers stands around with his hands on his hips, so his knees wont get hurt, panthers should have sent the idiot walking and got someone who wants to play, as long as king julius stands around and makes his mil a game, the panthers will not only lose, but get creamed, by the way how about the clemson tigers defense, cant wait to we play sc in columbia, it will be a tought night for crazy spurrier

BY THE WAY I WAS AT TRAINING CAMP IN SPARTANBURG AND ALL PEPPERS DID WAS STAND AROUND WITH HIS HANDS ON HIS HIPS, HE JUST NEEDS TO GO, WISH I HAD A 90 JERSEY, I WOULD BURN IT IN EFIGY!

PEPPERS NEEDS TO GO OR SIT ON THE DAMN BENCH, HE SU???S

FOX AINT MUCH BETTER, WAS AT THE EAGLE GAME AND WHAT A MESS.

DALLAS AND THEN LOOK AT THE REST OF THE SCHEDULE, NEW ORLEANS WILL KILL US

LETS GO 1-15 WITH NO FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICS, WHAT A JOKE THE CAROLINA MANAGEMENT IS AND GER BILL COWHER IN HERE!!!

Defensive scheme looks exactly the same as it did last year, don't really see how the guys could be confused. It's a basic cover 2 scheme, we've seen it before, and we've used it before, I really don't understand how the players could be lost in this system. I think it's more of just overall poor coaching and average talent defensively.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
