Panther defense most conservative in the league.

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

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?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
