All off-season the Huddle has talked up our defense.  And, for the first game, they really came through:

  • 6 sacks
  • a beautiful interception by Shaq Thompson
  • solid play for most of the game

Sure the Jets stink and we were playing against a rookie QB.   But the defense did its job.  

Well done guys.  

Well said!

The were flying around but seemed to have gotten a bit tired in the 2nd half.  Gotta build on that conditioning.  Was happy to see Nixon get in the stat book as a rookie.

I would give them a B- as a whole, that’s one of the worst offensives going into the season with a young rookie QB. 
 

The players get an A but snow’s soft zone stuff vs. a real offense has me worried.

Snow called a good game.  He didn't get soft until later in the game.  We put a lot of heat on Wilson today, including on key 3rd downs.  I don't hate the soft zone when leading late by more than a TD, because it forces the offense to burn more clock.  It just didn't work as well as planned, and we ended up giving up big plays.

The defense played really well overall.  The only bad performance I noticed was Jeremy Chinn just looked lost in coverage.  That was very surprising, because I expected him to be a stud today.

Reddick, Jones and Fox look like stellar editions. Burns continues to be a problem from the edge (although I wish he wouldn't disappear for stretches) and Brown continues to justify his Draft pick. He allows us to do so much.

Horn had a good day I thought - wasn't targeted much. The TD was just a great throw - that coverage was very good.

Hopeful Hartsfield's injury isn't serious, he's an important piece for us.

The defense is young and against great offenses we will struggle, but not today. The gameplan was very good and the execution was inconsistent. Still I would rather err on the side of being too aggressive instead of not enough. I thought Snow blitzing at the end was great to see. Sure we play zone behind it until we get Aboye back and Horn has some game reps. I am eager to see how we match up with New Orleans. Brady the student against the master. You know Brady wants that game.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      Nothing will change with the qb situation until Tepper is convinced Young is not viable. Until that point, it will be Young. During that time, any shortcomings of Young will be because he does not have the necessary supporting cast, and/or coaches are failing him with faulty schemes and defective gameplans.  So, until Tepper is out, Young is in.

      Young is the kind of QB who will go as far as the team drags him 90% of the time. And once in a long while he'll explode and light the opposing team up. That is not anywhere near where we need to be as a team. What' worse is that we've won way too many games this season due to an extremely easy schedule. So we can't select a top QB in the draft, and a free agent QB is usually not the answer.  The Panthers fell victim to a long stretch of bad QBs coming out of college. Even if we had made different moves and selected any number of different QBs coming out, we still would have ended up with a bust most likely. Bryce is a bust. Tua is a bust. Zach Wilson? Yikes. Trey Lance. Justin Fields. Mac Jones. Kenny Picket. CJ Stroud. My point is that a lot of teams were devastated by this stretch of bad QBs coming out of college, but we were dumb enough to trade the farm for one of them.  The smart move? Tale the 2 first round picks from the Rams for Burns, and keep CMC. Sit tight. Whatever QB falls in your lap in the draft, take him. Then use the other two first round picks to build up the o-line on the cheap. This isn't Morning GMing. I said take the Rams deal at the time. We have not had a good GM ever in franchise history.  No more trading up for QBs. Clearly is a total guessing game. Stay put. Trade vets for draft picks and start the rebuilding process with a new GM and new coaches. Cut Bryce and bring him back on a vet min deal. Then cut him again for being trash. He's done here if I had any say.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 12 loss to 49ers

      He hasn't been the same since the head injury last year. I don't know if there are some lasting physical effects, or it's just mental. I hope he can get back to form, but I'm highly skeptical.
