Phil Snow's Defense

has too many holes: receivers are constantly making catches in open pockets with 3-4 defenders around them and neither one then breaks on the ball. Are we purposely playing safe to not get beat overtop?

to much inconsistencies: our pressure is too erratic. Granted Brees gets the ball out quick but we can't show our hand before the snap. 

gives too much cushion: why were we giving backup receivers that much respect. We should've played more man on receivers & Kamara

I don't think we're missing a player on defense. I think we're missing coaching!

The Defense doesn't seem to have a goal of making stops... The goal seems to be allowing a death by a thousand cuts and hoping for a turnover here and there.

yeah I agree, seems to be a bend don't break mentality. But that didn't fit Rhule's style to me.

I think Snow is fine.  He's trying to hide our deficiencies, and there are a lot of them.  Name the guys you can depend on on defense...  I can only come up with Burns, Brown, and Chinn.  Everyone else is a question mark.  It's tough to play defense like that, especially on the backend.  And you play zone when your guys can't play man or consistently get pressure.  We don't have the personnel to man up.

I'm not Hugh on Phil Snow's support list but I wouldn't say he suck, I'd say he's being too safe. But that could be because he don't trust the players. 

The players he has aren’t the best. He probably trust 3 players total on this defense. If that. And two are Rookies. It’s hard to trust complete garbage to not be complete garbage. Somehow, he’s made chicken salad out of chicken poo so far.

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
