You mean to tell me that a crusty old defensive coordinator from some low rank conference college program can take a bunch of rookies and use college concepts to create a defense that confuses a NFL HOF QB?  

Next you'll tell me that pigs can fly.

What about pigskins after being launched from Sammy D’s throwing arm?

Looking at many of the plays it looked like our guys were just as confused as the other team.  Look at how many guys are just standing around as the offensive players run their routes. Many aggressive defenses teach players that if you don't have someone you are responsible for because of how they line up then you delay blitz and find a crease to bring pressure.  This was a prevent defense with guys dropping deep and giving up the underneath stuff. Death by a thousand cuts. Look at how much pressure we got rushing three. I pray we rush 4 and 5 on every play like Baltimore and Pittsburgh who both press receivers off the line and  confuse the coverage lining up 7 or even 8 close to the line. Employing those exotic blitzes that seem so effective against us.  We need a tough physical aggressive defense not a gimmicky confusing college scheme that has been figured out I am sure. OCs have plenty of film to watch.

You can only work with what you have.   Do you really think they could have installed exotic blitzes with half the defense rookies and the other half 1 year starters?  Good luck with that.  That college defense kept the losses from being complete blowouts.

Last year is ancient history. While I surely have a different take, what is important is that we look a whole lot different this year. We have more talent and experience so now we need those exotic blitzes  or is that still too hard??

Depends in how fast Horn gets to speed. Can Horn, AJ and Jackson play press this year? If not we will be doing the cover 3 formations until they can.

I'm OK with the 3 deep safeties when it is relevant and to mix things up, but I don't want us to have to rely on it exclusively like last year.

There is a reason no one else runs 3 high safeties and keeps everyone deep rushing 3 as their main scheme.. I have seen it used as a change up or when in prevent mode but as Warner said, no one runs it. Why??  Because it isn't a legitimate NFL defense and is easily exploited.

Exactly! I harped on it all last season and we'd better be more aggressive this year. Every game looked like Snow was playing a turned-based strategy game while the opposing offenses were doing real-time games.

Yes, Whitehead sucked epically out there, but every play there were people out of position or without clearcut assignments. Darnold could lob 50 TDs this year, but if the concepts on defense don't improve mightily, then we will struggle to win five again.

Played like a bunch of old ladies last year. <SMH>

No the issue wasn't that it was too hard according to reports, it was that it was too much to expect in the early going last year by all accounts.  If you noticed as the season went on they began to incorporate some blitz packages.   This season expect things to be different in that regard.   Other than that I do not have a clue what they are going to do this season.

    • Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.
    • In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.
    • He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.
