Chris Harris and Aggressive Defense

Anyone else noticed since he came back our defense has been hitting harder than before??? I saw 2 good hits Harris put on the ballcarrier, one resulting in an incompletion on what would have been a 1st down and another on the runner where he lowered his shoulder and sent him flying sideways. I like that kind of aggression as it helped set a tone on defense. Thought he deserved recognition. Will we continue to see this kind of aggression throughout the year?

And how did Landon Johnson do in place of Thomas Davis? I saw one good play where he pushed the lineman into the runner and made a tackle for a loss.

Johnson was decidedly "meh" but not as bad as I figured he would be. Still no match for Thomas Davis.

Harris's return has been HUGE for the entire team though, having him on the field is a big boost despite the rumblings amongst some fans that he may be a bit overrated in Pantherland. I'm pretty sure they were proven wrong.

If a change at QB doesn't happen and happen soon, I can see the Defense start to say to hell with it.

Doubt it. Maybe some people (like Peppers), but others such as Davis, Beason, and Harris, I don't see them quitting based on their demeanor and personality. Collectively, they'll play their ass off. Individually, we might see a few lose their way. In that case, get rid of them at the end of the year.

How about that Jonathan Beason stop on Terrell Owens on third down? He ran across the field and put a serious tackle on him.

My second favorite play of the game. (First was Smitty's long catch in the fourth quarter to give us a chance to get back in the game...:()

well, it ain't all Harris though. Improved DT has done a lot for the team...better play has resulted from the entire DL and LBs imo as a result. It would be awesome of Hollis could make it the entire season.

Chris Harris has always been considered one of the best hitters on the team and has some big playmaking ability....he just sucks in coverage.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
