This Defense.... whoa buddy


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I will go on record right now and say this defense will absolutely be ranked top 3 this year overall. When the starting unit is out there, there really are no weaknesses. Sure, some positions are better than others, but none are a concern really. 

If they can stay healthy, I feel like we all are going to witness something truly special this year.

This is certainly welcome news. But it's something that frankly should be expected. With all the resources we've poured into that side of the ball the last several years, anything less than a top 10 defense is simply unacceptable. Especially when you factor in that we are once again put into a position of essentially hinging our season on a high percentage of uncertainty along the OL after watching our QB get knocked around the last 17 games.

I'm not convinced it will be effective. Time will tell. 

All the more reason CMC should be our return man, absolutely no questions asked-to make things happen and turn the tide of games.

Think the best secondary the Panthers had was 2005. This secondary has that feel to it. 

Talent wise, this is the most talented secondary we've had this century. 

If the parts play as a unit, with this front 7 in front of it....

 

Oh forget it. It'll suck!

Defense is stacked!!! 4 solid Dt's. Vet de's feeding off each other's energy. Lb's just reaching the tip of the iceberg, playing next to Luke makes TD like 27 in his subconcious mind. Safety Vets who know where to be on the field. & young cb's that have already got there freshman whoopings out of the way, the only way is up.. and we are underated right now, by the time they see it coming it will be too late!!!

    • looks like I was wrong on that going off memory.  It was one of a couple stats I looked at the other week.  Looks like I confused that league worst with the bad target %, yac per comp, etc stats I looked up.  Where he was league worst.  I still think solving the YAC and short pass game is the best way to maximize Bryce.  He might of thrown deep a lot.....but he has never been a good deep thrower.  Outside of PFF declaring it with what ifs. 
    • If those are T-Mac's first 2 seasons, then yes, our fans will be calling him a bust for sure.  But raw stats after the fact don't tell the full story, it all depends how they happen.   And to everyone who keeps saying he needs to get to 1,000 yard as a rookie because that's what elite rookie WRs do now, they keep just looking at things in a vacuum and not the full picture.  Usually the rookies who get to that mark are the only legitimate option in the passing attack for those teams. Anyone trying to point to guys like Nabers or BTJ last year are completely missing the point, T-Mac is not in remotely close to the same situation and is far more similar to MHJ and Odunze last year. The Giants 2nd and 3rd WRs last year were Wan'Dale Robinson and Slayton who had 699 and 573 yards, their 4th leading WR had a grand total of 62 yards in 16 games (their 3rd-7th leading rec yards were TE's and RBs). The Jags 2nd and 3rd WRs last year were Parker Washington and Kirk with 390 and 379 yards, while their 4th WR was Gabe Davis with 239 (while their 2nd leading rec yards was a TE with 411). The Cardinals had McBride with 111 catches for 1,146 yards The Bears had Moore with 98 for 966 and Allen with 70 for 744 Thielen, XL, Coker are absurdly better than the other WR options the Giants and Jags had last year, there is a real argument to make that our 4th best WR was better than those team's 2nd best.   That alone is a huge hurdle to T-Mac getting to the 1,000 yard mark as a rookie, no matter how ready he may or may not be.  MHJ was supposed to be the most pro-ready WR prospect in a LONG time and having McBride there was the main reason he finished with "only" 885 yards as a rookie.
    • They are going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at us, refs probably help them out as well. Can we steal it, I hope so.
