We're 2 - 1 and our Defense

...is ranked 19th in the league in yards  allowed.  They were again suspect yesterday but stepped up when it was needed the most.  Going forward, we need to figure out how to put more pressure on the QB and address the safety position!   I like that they started to blitz more in the second half, we should see more of that.

In our defense, no pun intended, we have gone up against solid offenses the past two weeks. Even though we have looked sloppy, I feel they will come along in time.

Atlanta was without their starting RB and still ran for over 100 yards for the first time in 23 games or something. Cincy was without their starting RB and AJ Green went out injured yesterday when Cincy was matching Carolina's drives. I dare say this game may have been a little different had Mixon and Green both played 4 quarters.

Everyone was worried about o-line and confident the defense would keep us in games

Turns out Matsko has worked miracles and Washington/Rivera haven’t got their crap together yet

This happens every year.  Whatever we are most worried about, it's the opposite.

Coleman is better than Freeman, and especially against us in terms of how we matchup—we’ve always had bigger problems with shifty outside runners than up the gut power runners (and i know Freeman isn’t a power back and is shifty himself but his style is more up the middle than Coleman). Not worried about our run defense despite that horrible game.

Coleman vs. Freeman is an opinion we differ on. And I'm not that worried about the run D, either, but Atlanta's O-line had little problem getting to the second level against the Panther front 7.

But the back end of the Panther D is my concern.

Containment has been a big issue the last two weeks, both Ryan and dalton made huge plays outside the pocket the last two games. Gotta clean that up ASAP 

That might be one of the things Obada is still learning.

The older vets though don't really have that excuse.

Could be but 

..,,Remember comparing offensive weapons., the Panthers had an all pro TE and ever absent but fast receivers Byrd and Samuel out as well  who is to say that Bengals defense could have had them

i am much more concerned , as I’m sure you are as well, about the safety position then anything else particularly playing the Saints, Falcons and the NFC East

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
