This article suggests we play zone specifically cover 3 much of the time and blitz among the fewest times of any team.

 

https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2020/12/02/panthers-coverage-rates-conservative-phil-snow/amp/

There is some conversation that it is personnel but how can we can blitz a lot against detroit and shut them out but with essentially the same guys give up tons of yards and points to the Vikings.  Plus I heard Rhule say if Snow had to replay the game against the Vikings again he would have blitzed more. 

If it was all personnel than when you blitzed you would get poorer results not better ones and you wouldn't change your scheme if you didn't have the personnel to do both.

 

No this just convinces me even more that Snow's preferred scheme doesn't work in the pros and he will need to bring more pressure and put more guys on the line of scrimmage to confuse the blocking protections like we did against Detroit. The 3-3-5 is the old prevent defense which prevents you from winning.

Yeah, there is a reason that "bend but don't break" poo doesn't get used in the NFL......

It’s almost like we have the youngest  starting defense in a decade 

Again these young guys aren't the problem. Burns, Chinn, Brown etc are the reason we don't suck worse.  And I would be fine if we were aggressive and made mistakes but with a prevent scheme it won't work with any team young or old. It is just a poor scheme against QBs in the NFL who routine pick apart passive zones.

If you want a very obvious and clear example of that and only have to watch one game....watch us versus the Vikings. Most of that game we are aggressive and pressure Cousins. Fast forward to the last 6ish minutes of that game and watch us go full prevent to lose the game.

Exactly. Makes no sense to hold them to 10 points for 45 minutes using 1 scheme and then give up 18 in the last 15 using a different scheme.  I hope he figures it out soon.

As old as he is, this is his first time in the NFL. We haven't been dreadful defensively but we have to gamble more moving forward. Honestly, I don't see what the point of NOT being more aggressive is right now. We are all but mathematically eliminated. Let's get out there and get after it.

Our line backers suck and our CBs are worse. Teams that Blitz a bunch usually either have great LB Cores or CB Cores. We have neither.

Sure but what we are doing has been proven not to work. Why not try something different? Otherwise....why did we fire Ron?

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
