We were what, 2nd in the NFL in sacks last year? Ouch.  I mean, we couldn't stop a run to save our lives but damn, at least we could hit your QB.

A lot of that though was us dialing up a ton of blitzes and pressure, then getting burned because of it. Not sure why but Snow hasn't sent much extra pressure at all so far this year. Not very aggressive, maybe still just feeling out the NFL game or he's scared for our secondary getting burned if we blitz and the pressure still doesn't get there (likely).

Yep we blitzed a ton last year and if we got there we got a sack and if we didn’t it was 20-50 yards.

We were tied with the Seahawks for 18th at 26.9% in blitz percentage, so pretty much league average. The Ravens led the league with 54.9%.

We're 18th on the NFL currently at 23.3% this year. So slightly less, but not dramatically so.

Yeah, it’s just more dangerous when we do it because our secondary was and is so bad.

I didn't really think we blitzed that much last year, but I did think our dlinemen were so focused on the pass that they sometimes forgot about or ignored the run.  Hard thing to prove, but it certainly seemed that way at times.

Oh, I agree with you. There were some vets on short term contracts looking to pad that sack figure IMO.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
