In 2002 the Panthers finished with the 2nd best defense in the league and won 4 of their last 5 games to finish 7-9 with their only loss during that stretch coming at Heinz Field to Pittsburgh.

That season 4 of the top 6 defenses in the league did not make the playoffs.

I think Del Rio left after that season too.

I'm proud of this defense. They look great. They've been stuffing runs very well these past few weeks. They don't deserve what the offense is doing to them. Their stats would be even higher if not for the offense and special teams giving teams turnovers and great field position every time.

The defense has turned it around beautifully so far this season. Major props to Ron Meeks. Our offense isn't even that bad...D-Will and J-Stew can rack up yards on any defense. Smitty is a constant threat. All we need is a quarterback who won't turn the damn ball over.

You really think this D could hang with the Colts, Saints or other high octane offense? I don't.

I think they'd hold up. They may even be better (barring injury) by the time we play the aints. They are showing up in a big way. They're all tough in the NFL. This defense doing well is no mistake.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
