Vanilla Defense

Recommended Posts

Remember during the preseason when everyone was saying(include me as well), don't worry, we are not game planning for the preseason.

OR

It's a vanilla defense.

OR

We don't want to show our hand.

OR

This new Defense under Meeks is a run to the ball and attack defense.

OR

We will be fine without Kemo, he wasn't an impact player anyway.

How the tide has changed! Now its:

1) Now Peppers can or should play anywhere.(Can he kick it for a touchback?)

2) Ron Meeks is no better here than with the colts.

3) Jake is the anti-christ.

4) Mark Richardson has kidnapped Peppers and is holding him for a 16 million dollar ransom.

5) Dwayne Jarrett is a excellent player, he just needs a chance.

6) Lets not start with Fox!

Well looks like we got a triple scoop of vanilla, thats how I would describe our game plan thus far. Special teams on the other hand, well that would be a big scoop of crap. A great coach makes a average team great and a average coach makes a mess every other year.

Thats the only way I can see getting him both motivated and him getting pressure on the QB consistently. Even the years Pep had awesome sack numbers they didn't tell the whole story. IMO pressure is more important then Sacks. Any QB in the league makes bad decisions (IE TO's or INC) when under constant pressure and this has never been Peps best strength. Some plays he looks unstoppable while others he can't beat a 2nd string T. He is just inconsistent and for the Money he gets paid that shouldn't be the case.

Trust me I hate the term "vanilla". My point is, we look at our team sometimes with binders on. That is untill games start to matter, then the sky falls. Some of the off-season moves have been questionable at best. As far as Peppers is concerned if a million dollars a game doesn't get you motivated, then nothing will. I remember back in 2006 against Cleveland he was a beast and was Charlie Fryes worst nightmare. He was motivated then, what happened?

He converted all 13 of his field goal tries with a 100% conversion rate that led all FBS kickers with at least 12 attempts. Fitzgerald was also perfect on his 14 extra points. He will compete with Matthew Wright for the Panthers’ kicking job in training camp. Harrison-Hunte went undrafted despite a strong showing at the Combine. He’s an older prospect who will turn 25 by the start of his rookie year, but he had just one season of sustained production at SMU after five years at Miami. Still, he earned first-team All-ACC honors in 2024 with 8.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks and will push for a roster spot in Carolina as an athletic interior disruptor.   more at the link https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/05/panthers-sign-19-undrafted-free-agents
