Panthers Defense- observations.

very impressive. we finally covered a premiere tight end, and held the Redskins to under 200 yards of total offense. I have noticed that progressively the unit as a whole has been improving.

Captain Munnerlyn- 1) when did he take over the starting spot? 2) where did Richard Marshall play?

Chris Gamble- he earned his money. Santana Moss, redskins number 1, only had 4 catches for 44 yards.

Julius Peppers- Thank god!!! Beason should talk to the O-line next. Peppers was all over the field today. 2 sacks, and helped Thomas Davis get the safety.

D-line as a whole- 5 sacks. good job throughout the game (except a few spots) getting pressure. and holding Clinton Portis to only 52 yards was an outstanding effort.

Beason and Thomas Davis- simply put, a fantastic 1,2 punch of linebackers. Nail Diggs is a good filler, but Davis and Beason shined. big stops when they count

overall, i give the Defense an A-. I would like to see more ints, but if they play like this the rest of the season, we have a shot to be in every game.

Hollis Thomas was a bigger addition that I thought he would be. The Redskins aren't exactly the league elite, but Portis is no slouch.

I was quite suprised to see Cap'n on the field as much as he was. Has he taken over the starting spot? Marshall was on the field plenty too.

Pep needs to show that kind of production against a decent opponent before I'll consider this a turnaround.

the redskins offense is trash and you think you just stopped a premiere offense. the panthers did what they had to do, and the redskins STOPPED chris cooley by keeping him into block

look, has this team played this good this season? no. yes, the Redskins are the worse team we have played this season, but it doesn't change the fact that the Defense had a good day. i really dont care who it was.

The previous game, we held Dallas to just 1 TD. And look at the bad field position they was in

Their offense suck too?

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
