Red Zone Defense

"Smoked"?  I doubt that.  Besides, teams still gotta get to the red-zone and we're top 10ish in points allowed.  

It's concerning, but I'm sure it will correct itself over the season.  I trust Rivera's defensive knowledge to get it fixed.

What are you talking about? The hallmark of this defense this year has been giving up yards between the 20s and then tightening up in the redzone.

We are second worst in the league only to the Buccaneers. Look it up.

Other than having a safety or DB come of there man. No way Luke or any other LB gets out in time to cover that TE while fighting thru slant traffic.  

Need to stop bunching the LBs in the middle and let Davis & Shaq play outside to cover the underneath stuff from TEs & RBs.

    • From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.
    • That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.
    • They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
