Per The Riot Report:

“The Panthers cornerbacks group played well in spurts last season, but gave up big plays in clutch situations; during their seven-game losing streak, the Panthers allowed first down conversions of ten yards or longer on third or fourth down nine times, including three touchdowns – they allowed a completion percentage of 66.73% to opponents, seventh-worst in the NFL and after the defense picked off 11 passes during their first eight games of the season, they only managed two during the second half of the year.

Yeah we lived this, you could point to 4 plays that cost us 4 games. 7-9 is very different than 11-5.

There was several 3rd and 4th down conversions leading to touchdowns against the Seahawks for example.

We also had poor field goal kicking contribute to several losses. I could see how Tepper could look at things and think the team was a bit unlucky. But they were unlucky 7 straight weeks and Ron didn't react quickly enough.

Zone defense doesn't work if the front 4 are not very good. If you have Kris Jenkins and prime Peppers up front, then you can have Bradberry and Jackson at CB no problem. If you have gandpa Peppers and payday KK up front then you need Dion Sanders and clone of Dion Sanders at the CB spots to do well.

More of a indictment on the lack of pass rush than anything. Even the best corners on the NFL can't be asked to cover for 6 seconds.

I thought you were going to say that it was more of an indictment on coaching, but the lack of a pass rush was pretty big.

RANKED 29th in 3rd down pressure.

Imagine you are a rodeo cowboy and you have to ride the bull 9 seconds instead of 8.  Your stats would drop considerably.

Our edge rushers were Pathetic this year.

 

When you plays teams like the Lions and Giants who have some of the worst OL in the league (even worse than ours)

And you cant even lay a hand on the QB, thats a bad sign.  And its not like Eli was out there scrambling like Russell Wilson dodging sacks too.

Offenses knew who to pick on in the Panthers secondary in crucial moments. There were weak links and no pass rush. Panthers need to sign an elite vet DE, get KK Short to try again, re-sign Eric Reid, draft a 1st round safety, and hope Jackson and Bradberry continue to progress and stay healthy all season. That'd fix the defense pretty damn quick

Except the one guy who was picked on the most was Captain. We have to do something about the Nickel CB and it doesn't look like Corn is going to pop for that role.

Yeh our pass rush sucks— 

a better NFL stat to go find would be seconds opposing quarterbacks have to throw. Then throw in pressures, batted passes etc.

I hate completion percentage as a stat— a lot of teams do high percentage underneath passes that are 80% connect anyway and rely on YAC. Those are run plays essentially— ala WCO concepts.

so what’s the number of seconds opposing quarterbacks have to throw?

im going to go find it but I bet we have bottom 10 on that one. 

We do need DBs— at least 1 great corner and a Great Safety— that would really help.

      This is the new thing lol. It’s all open to interpretation and it’s your fault for your interpretation. The guy saying “stop teasing” was really very upset with Bryce Young being injured, not excited. Ignore his other posts that seem to indicate the opposite. And don’t you know “Exciting not to see Bryce!” was in no way happy with Bryce Young getting injured. Again, don’t bother looking at the rest of the posts for further context. And definitely nobody was making fun of him by saying he was injured by the water boy bumping into him, or it was a gentleman’s benching, or his feelings got hurt. And the comments about him getting tackled by a finger graze or getting taken down by a stiff fart were not hyperbolic over reactions to the play that just happened, it was just general conversation completely unrelated to that play. And of course none of their views are tainted by a desire to see Bryce Young fail, they all want the best for him and the team, that’s how you know for sure that you are totally taking all the posts the wrong way. Really can’t believe you would make up all these lies. gaslighting /ˈɡasˌlīdiNG/ noun noun: gaslighting the practice of psychologically manipulatingsomeone into questioning their own sanity, memory, or powers of reasoning.

      TE group

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean we had more of a defensive need in the 2025 draft than we may in the 2026 draft(so far). But we took a TE. We did it in the 5th round. Also he has overwhelmingly been our best TE to date. He and the FA pickup. I think you just have an extremely skewed view of TE's in the NFL. I would implore you to take a look at some draft history, depth charts and career progressions of a lot of those players. You are going to see ample examples of lower round guys being drafted and then immediately starting at TE. The reason it isn't rare is that there aren't many TE's taken in the 1st at all.  It's the same with other positions. You think that it's impossible to find a C outside the 1st? Well....most of them aren't 1st rounders because they rarely get taken there. How about OG? The NFL is mostly non-1st round OG's and the elite tier is almost all not former 1st round OG's. How about RB's? Pretty similar right? That's not just numbers, it's positional value historically. High value positions litter the first round. It's always been that way.
