Mario and Pep

The entire dline was magnificent, especially in the second half.  Love, Short, Star, etc.... Lots of pressure on Keenum, and they did a better job in the second half of stopping him from burning us on scrambles.

 

It didn't seem like it at the time, but the defensive play after Cam's int when we held them to a fg might have been the key point in the game.

These guys are complete monsters. Addison most underrated DE in the game by far and Pep somehow still has some pep in his step. Imagine if we had Pep in his prime or if CJ was in his pre-2014 form..

They are a better, more consistent duo than Hardy and Johnson in 2013. Maybe the best SE duo on the team since... Pep and Rucker.

Boy Pep is old. How is he even possible?

Hated they robbed Pep of that second sack, but ended the drive anyway so no biggie. Peppers shoulda had two on the day though. 

There was also a should’ve been sack he had earlier in the year when the tool QB grounded.

I was thinking though...  can't they go back and credit hiim with it after the fact?  Think i've seen it done before.  That was clearly a sack by Pep.

    • Cards weren't really blitzing that much the entire game.  The ones they sent just wrecked Bryce.  My opinion is you are over fixated on what happened as we got close to the goal.   The one possession we had in the 3rd quarter? That was a freebie to get down there.  It was literally just checkdowns to the TE when we weren't running the ball down... 24 taking up the entire quarter.  Next quarter Cards were inviting the exact same behavior.  Which is why they were both clock eating small ball 14 play drives. 
    • I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
