He can't coach run defense here and he couldn't coach it at Indy either. But damn if he can't coach pass defense.

For people that don't know we are #2 at stopping the pass in the league. Maybe Peppers is earning his money... I mean... it isn't like we didn't play the Eagles, the Falcons, and the Cowboys. If our defense tightens up our run defense with the help of Mr. Thomas then maybe we can win by just keeping our turnover loving offense off the field.

It's not hard to defend the pass if the opponent is offered an easy running game. Right now, opponents aren't using a short passing game on us because they'll have a better chance of picking up 4-6 yards on the ground. That means they are relying on the pass only for longer pickups, which have a lower success rate.

That being said, things are looking up on the run defense side, so perhaps we're seeing a firming up of the defense. I certainly hope so.

Meeks' defenses in Indianapolis were also usually in the top five when it came to the amount of rushing attempts against them. His run defenses were usually pretty bad across the board, and it follows that that was the first thing opposing offenses usually attacked. He had the prototypical small, fast Tampa 2 defensive line to work with in Indy.

Well certainly the browns, the bucs, and the raiders would be up there with us too? Oh wait... no they're not...

...WELL certainly opposing teams average yards per catch would be high if the stat was truly misleading... Oh wait...we're #10 overall in that department as well.

Find another negative point to be the reason our pass offense is #2 in the league you trolls.

they have yet to be tested this year b/c we have been so weak against the run......

Julius Peppers leads the team in passes defended...that is an big indication the secondary has not been tested or proved anything.

That is because we average giving up over 180yds rushing (except the Washington game). You don't have to pass when you can gash a defense on the ground.

That is a misleading stat if I ever saw one.

pretty much.

the Panthers' pass defense has been thrown at the least amount of times a game besides the Giants and Buccaneers, but have been rushed against the 8th most attempts per game.

It coincides with the fact that the offense can't run or pass well, can't sustain a drive, and can't score a lot of points, so chunks of yardage aren't needed through the air in a short amount of time as much and it's more of a ball control battle between us and our opponents.

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
