Defensive team stats - impressive

[Zod]

After Sunday's games, Carolina's defense led the NFL in Week 1 with:

6.0 sacks (t-1st)
8 passes defensed (t-1st)
54.1 opponent comp pct (1st)
2.65 yds/rush att (1st)
9 QB hits (t-2nd)

Lets hope we can build off this. Could turn out to be a good season if we can rely on this defense while seeing weekly improvements in our offense.

I'm pretty certain that we can force Winston to make hurried throws next week.

Let's see how that DL plays next week

from PFF...

Saints Offensive Line

New Orleans did not allow a single sack in the victory but surrendered 10 total pressures and two quarterback hits. Still, Winston was routinely given ample time to throw — an average of 3.14 seconds to release the ball. Tackle Terron Armstead is on track to pace the group in pass-blocking grade on first review of the film.

I think we're third for total yards allowed

10 pressures is a lot considering he only threw it around 20 times.  I actually think we will be able to pressure Jameis and force him into some bad decisions.

[TheCasillas]

Zach Wilson completed 15 of 21 passes for 149 yards, a touchdown, and an interception when not facing pressure in Week 1 against Carolina. 

No QB was pressured more often than Wilson in Week 1. The Jets offensive line was overwhelmed time and again against a middling Panthers front seven.

 

 

Leaving this here.

What’s crazy is how a 4th down conversion from their own 30 on that last drive padded their yardage too. Pretty sure they would have been under 200 yards total offense and Wilson would have been sub 50%

That’s on the level of dominance of the Arizona playoff game a few years ago.

Facing the Jets sure does help.

It isn't hard to bring out bad Jameis remember this guy is our opponent next week....

I just can't watch that gif of him eating that W. It is too cringe.

Cept we are playing Vicodin and not Tampa. Mr. 325/5mg dusts our poo all the time.

Said this in another thread but I went back and checked last year and it took 7 games for us to get 6 sacks last year. The secondary was credited for at least one coverage sack in that bunch today too, which was unheard of last year. 

This is a significantly improved defense from last year. The dline has better depth, Reddick adds another pass rush threat, Tahir Whitehead is gone, and the secondary looks legit. 

If our offense starts clicking we are a real playoff team.

Jameis crumbles and makes horrible decisions under pressure if the front 7 comes to play we can take this one.
