Could this the best defense in Panthers history?

Yes, it has only been two games, but I have seen enough. Peppers even said yesterday that this is the best defense he has ever been on, and he was on some pretty good ones back in the day. 

If they can stay healthy, I feel like this will end up being the best defense the Carolina Panthers have ever put together. And if that is true, the Superbowl is within reach no matter how long it takes for the offense to get its act together. 

 

What say you? Is this defense tops?

If they keep pounding like they have been. I do not see why not. They are playing strong, tackling well it's just downright sexy. And I'm very impressed with our secondary so far, Worley especially.

I agree with notion but I would like to see more in the Turnover area Once the running games gets going , this defense will go up another level with ability to stay fresh for 4 qtrs.

Actually when I think about it, this front seven minus Julius was here in 2015.  We had a better secondary with Tillman and Norman.  I might have to say we were better in 2015 due to the secondary, but Julius certainly adds oomph to this defense.

The front 7 has more experience, Shaw was a rookie and didn't play as much.  I wouldn't say the secondary was necessarily better in 2015.  Tillman was old and got picked on when QBs had time to throw.  Then he got hurt and we ended up signing Cortland Finnegan and Robert McClain who definitely are not upgrades over the corners now.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
