FO: The Carolina Panthers have the worst run defense DVOA of the century

"The worst run defenses are never as bad as the best run defenses are good, but this year also had one of the worst run defenses in DVOA history. Charlotte resident Scott Spratt has been lamenting this all season long in Audibles, and drawing attention to it whenever he recommends you play your running backs against the Carolina Panthers in his Sit and Start columns.  The Carolina Panthers allowed a league-worst 5.2 yards per attempt and 31 rushing touchdowns when the next-worst team was Jacksonville with 23. So the Carolina Panthers have the worst run defense DVOA of the century. It's interesting that most of the worst run defense DVOA ratings are from before the year 2000. This continues even if you go down to the top 20 or top 30."

That's a big oof

whats DVOA

I know Hurney is supposed to be the worst general manager in the history of sports, and we had a lot of injuries, but this roster isn't that different than it was the past few years.

Eric Washington might turn out to be the most incompetent DC in league history.

We were the worst team against the run of any team, this century.

It's a good thing these guys are starting a group chat to meet up somewhere else to win a championship.

Obviously all that's needed is a change in scenery to push them over the top

Hey guys let’s switch to the 3-4 but make it a 2-4 and completely ignore the NT, it will be great use of our HOF MLB

Basically it says - your defense has a 2nd and long in the 3rd quarter. The average defense performs like this in similar situations. How do you compare?

We compare badly.

it measures down and distance of all plays by all teams. then it compares how you did in that down and distance vs the average of all teams on the same down and distance.

The worst in 20 years.  Every scrub rb was getting career highs on us.  3-4 hasn’t worked and it could work we just don’t have the right personnel to pull it off.

We had the identical roster the year before (we only lost Mike Adams and the corpse of Julius Peppers, and actually added McCoy/Irvin/etc), and were only slightly below league average in rushing defense.

So it seems like it was mostly all scheme.

Only 2 years ago we were 5th in run defense DVOA with Wilks as DC.

seriously, toss some googly eyes on a box of rice crispys and it would have been better than Eric Washington.  Ron's REFUSAL to take away play calling duties from him directly lead to why he HAD to be fired.  Thing that pisses me off is why he decided to hire Wilks as DC in washington, but let fuging the clusterfug of Eric Washington stay as playcaller here.  There is rons problem in a nutshell, he can't admit when he's wrong even when its been proven time and time again.
