Horton is consistently good against the run, and is disruptive. I was disappointed to see him go, although I knew they were trying to give others a chance to shine, that have a higher ceiling than Horton.

Love the hate in this thread. The Panthers are damned if they don't get somebody, while also being damned for bringing back guys that have proven they can help.  Guess you think there are better options. 

God Bless.

A big problem with our defense is inability to stop the run.

Wes, although not a pass rusher, gets it done against the run.

He can help us win games with that skill.

 

As a general rule, we have been doing about what we did last year, at stopping the run. We are just giving up more splash plays this year. Some of that is missed tackles, and some is a lack of gap control. We need to tighten that mother up. Limiting the run, and forcing teams into 3rd and longs, is what this team wants to do. Well, most teams I guess. But it was something we did well last year, and need to do a better job of, this year.

 

3rd and longs allow you to blitz more often. Mostly because you don't usually fear the long ball. That is where we make our money. We really do need to get back to stopping that running attack. Brees is hard enough to defend. If that running attack takes off. We are going to be in for a long day.

 

I heard that Ingram wasn't at practice the other day, or walked out of practice. Whatever it was, it sounded as though he was not a happy camper. But then again, I think it was espn, so take that with a grain of salt.

Good points. I admit I haven't compared concrete stats, but the splash runs certainty hurt my perception, and I'm sure it frustrates the team.

      Who is Tepper’s favorite player?

      I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk

      But a serious question is, does he not see a guy come open because he misses seeing them on the field, which happens to every QB, or, is his vision blocked by the wide bodies in front of him instead of the helmets other QBs experience? For instance missing a wide open Chuba. Did he not see him or could he literally not see him? I tend to think the latter is a far bigger problem than we're being led to believe it is.
