Panthers Secondary not the worst according to PFF

27. Carolina Panthers (32)
Top overall grade: CB James Bradberry, 82.6 (No. 20)

Top coverage grade: CB James Bradberry, 82.6 (No. 21)

Top run defense grade: CB Daryl Worley, 81.0 (No. 12)

Most snaps: S Kurt Coleman, 966

The Panthers had their work cut out for them from the start, with little experience at cornerback on the roster after letting Josh Norman walk. Rookie James Bradberry emerged as Carolina’s top cover corner, and fellow rookie Daryl Worley played much better over the last half of the season, showing some promise. The safeties, too, improved as the season progressed, but depth was certainly an issue overall. Leonard Johnson missed more tackles (11) than the number of games he saw action (10), and Robert McClain was not far behind, with nine. Michael Griffin’s five missed tackles all came in one game.

Injuries really did us in with our secondary this year. Not a single player was healthy all year.

Good to see them acknowledge that Worley improved as the year went on. 

I'm all for re-signing Johnson as depth but I did notice him whiff quite a few times in the slot. Hopefully we can sign someone in the offseason and upgrade the slot position. 

We NEED an upgrade at SS.

    • fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.
    • Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
    • I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
