Yes....but our run defense is going to be horrid as well...our LB could be worst in the league

I believe it will be a complete team effort on how bad our defense will be.  We will have some bright spots but our CB's will get killed by the top rated QB's.  Against the lower rank teams we might hold our own and even have bright spots that will raise hopes, but we will make mistakes that will cost us games.

They will be better than last year. Yall just like to parrot yourselves in every post you make.

The only difference is the age factor and dollar they make.  Young players make mistakes and I am sorry I just don't have a level of confidence that Shaq will be the leader that Luke was.  We will see what happens but I don't worry about the offense.  Can the defense keep us in games is my questionable concern.

We were middle of the pack or better in virtually every passing defense category last year. I honestly don't see this secondary doing better than that, especially since we lost by far our best DB from last season.

To be fair I think a strong argument can be made that a lot of teams don't throw the ball a ton when it's easy to hand off to your rb for 8 yards a pop.  Being awful against the run tends to make your secondary look better on paper than perhaps it really is.

We were above middle of the pack in average net yards per attempt. We were among the league leaders in INTs. 

The run D was absolutely abysmal, but for the most part the secondary wasn't.

We were tied for 20th in the league in terms of pass attempts against us. I was honestly surprised we weren't a lot lower considering you could just line up and run it down our throats at will... and mike and sam for that matter

In what way could they possibly be better? Even tho we sucked last year- we have 0 talent in the secondary and lost luke and our LB corps is awful. DL is wash at best...we lost proven guys like Addison, McCoy, Poe.

If we go into the season with this secondary in our division, teams are going to be putting up video game scores on us. Which is okay by me to be honest. I was never under the delusion that we have anything other than draft position to play for this season.

Man, I really wish the NFL would adopt promotion/relegation tiered league format so that all the fans who want to "play for draft position" can just watch the team get demoted. Here's your reward for sucking. ;)

    • Absent proof that he absolutely  concurred 100% with his superior, there is nothing that can change my opinion.  Also, I would appreciate it if you would not lay the motivation for that opinion on wanting Morgan to succeed because he is an ex Panther. I do want hi. To succeed because of that and just because he is the GM of my favorite team, but I have enough independent thinking ability to separate my feelings down what Insee.    I said many times before Morgan ever made GM or before Bryce was chosen that I could not believe and ex player could endorse that decision. I was speaking of Reich but also a MLB? Really? I feel like any ex high level defensive guy would be salivating at the prospect  of facing a Bryce in a game.   Whether an ex Panther, a Giant, a Buc, whatever jersey they wore.   
    • Years ago there use to be a website called Cold Hard Football Facts.com. I used to hang out there to read the articles and their interpretation of the football data. After the midseason point, when teams had generated enough data to set trends, these guys could predict the winner of game 75% of the time using nothing but statistical data. They said the single most important piece of data for passing efficiency is Yards per attempt. "I think" they said any team at 7.0 yds/attempt or higher would usually be among the top 10 teams in the NFL year in and year out if even if they only had an average defense. The lower the number, the least successful the team. https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/offense/stat/passing/table/passing/sort/yardsPerPassAttempt/dir/desc If you toggle the column and arrange it from best to worst the data clearly proves their point. Nearly every team above 7.0 this season (16 in all)  has a strong chance of making the playoffs with the possible exceptions of Washington and Dallas. Washington has been decimated by injuries this year and Dak's excellent season is being overlooked because the Cowboy defense can't stop anyone in 2025. The teams below 7.0 are clearly the tier 2 and tier 3 teams in the NFL with the exception of Denver which is currently sitting atop the AFC West at 8-2.
