Last year Snow did a lot of 3 man rushes where we dropped everyone back and hoped we could apply pressure. They never ever seemed to work. I don't remember seeing any of those yesterday. Am I misrembering? If not I'll take it that's just an adjustment that Snow made. The pressure worked yesterday.

Those fronts were pretty much dictated by available personnel.  As the talent level increases the more types of exotic fronts you can run.  Has nothing to do with preference.

I don't care if we were playing freaking Bishop Sycamore out there yesterday, the Panthers defense was fugging LEGIT...

The Jets had 2 1st rounders starting on that line.  You can make all the excuses you want, but these are professionals, and the Panthers defense had their way with them for a lot of the game.

I'll give Zach Wilson a lot of credit... I still don't know how he got up from that Derrick Brown hit... that was as violent of a legal QB hit as I have seen in a while... 

It's early, but this defense is starting to remind me of the 1996 defense for those of us old enough to remember... still a LONG way to go to proclaim these guys are as good as the '96 squad, but what a start.

Pressure coming from anywhere and everywhere... Phil Snow had these boys cooking yesterday!!

This.  Phil Snow is playing with a full deck this season, and it shows.

Snow was a DAWG calling plays out there yesterday.  Again, I don't care who we were playing, that defensive performance yesterday was the best we have seen in 3 years.

This is a playoff caliber defense... offense and ST gotta step up

I wouldn't say he's working with a full deck yet,but he has more cards than last season.  The line is much better but the LB position is thin as well as the secondary.  They are also raw and inexperienced.  So in short they are good but still a work in progress.

Agree that personnel is improved but the 3-5-3 he imported last year from college. He pretty much gave up the 3 man prevent and rushed 4 or more all day long. I hope we make the transition to more man when Abouye returns week 3.  I thought that Jackson played well but there were a lot of holes in the zone yesterday. Pressure really helped.

This defense is still being somewhat dictated by the talent available and probably will be for another season or two.  The lineup may differ from game to game depending on the match up of course.   I don't think we've season the final iteration of this defense.  Hell we may never have one preferred defense to run but can run any of them on any given Sunday.

Yes, it's not only the sack and pressure totals that are exciting, but the number of defensive players who were stepping up and making BIG plays.

Shaq, Brown, Burns, Reddick, Haynes, YGM, D-Jack, Hartsfield, Luvu.... so many guys had GREAT days.  I didn't actually focus much on Chinn, but he had a bunch of pressures. I'm sure I'm forgetting some names too.  Jaycee played fine, DaQuan Jones looks to be a great addition.  Carter was solid....

This looks like it could be a pretty complete defense.  A shame about Hartsfield's injury with Bouye still out next week.  We need some depth at Nickel.  Play dropped off when Hartsfield went out, Burris switched and Chandler came in.

@Jon Snow, you're exactly right.

5 different Panthers were in on sacks -- this is a versatile team effort, not dependent on just 1-2 edge rushers.

Did anyone notice who was rushing on that play (1st and Goal, inside 3 minutes left)

when Brown and YGM crushed Wilson?  Bet you can't even guess.

4 man front: Luvu, Brown, YGM, Haynes. Not a Burns or Reddick in sight.

That's a wide variation of players for Snow to choose from.

Yeah I said in another thread I know it was Jets but we probably had the best defensive performance by far yesterday than any other team. I would put Cardinals and Steelers up there as well tough teams they beat on the road.

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

He did at Tampa so I hope so...I legitimately wonder about his eye surgery too. That can honestly make a huge difference if he was playing with poo eye this whole time as well. I was one of those people that didn't  know he had bad vision until I had surgery on it.

Their OL usually does well against us and he can actually throw it deep unlike Brees the last couple years. It'd be just like th ose fugin asshole stank waters to get Winston and not skip a beat for 10 more years yet.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that like to use their own eyes: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      By MHS831 · Posted

      For a LB that is a long career.  They take a beating.  Shoulders and head.  My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years.  I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should.   Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons.  Luke's career--8 seasons.  Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more.  The other 5 seasons?  No more than 5 games per.  So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career.  Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).
