Defensive team stats - impressive

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

"Middling" is just going to be the type of respect that media groups based in NYC/large markets will give a young, small market team.

If we duplicate that performance next week against the Saints it will be because Crablegs is a "middling" QB and not because this defense has some elite talent

Even during the 15-1 season we got the "who have they played?" caveat on a lot of analysis. 

I'd prefer to sneak up and blindside the media with a "Middling" roundhouse punch of reality when this dynamic defense is top 10 or higher.

Regardless... We are playing the Saints and Rodgers doesn't play on the Saints and definitely doesn't play on the defensive side of the ball. I saw 10 QB pressures (0 TFL, 0 sacks) and I saw 5 TD's still being thrown with 0 turnovers. 

Im not sure how our secondary compares to the Packers. I mean I know we can and will generate pressure, but you have to think Sean Payton is really putting Winston in the best position. 

Still, I think if we can limit Kamara and force Winston to make more throws than he did against the packers that is the key. 

Did you watch or glance at the stat lines? Certainly should have had a RedZone INT negated by a completely BS Roughing the passer.

Didn't watch the game. I apologize should've said that. And i wasn't trying to word it like I was. I just want a little insight on what we expect to see next week.

This negated a RedZone interception and allowed a TD....

 

Winston was as unimpressive as you can be throwing 5TDs under 150 passing yards two should be INTs.... and of course it didn't hurt that Rodgers playing like he just didn't care handed them the ball in the RedZone twice.

I guess everything I saw was just highlights and overreaction to 5TDs. Or maybe the topic is just focused on Rodgers play. Thanks for the info and post. I definitely never saw this play.

That reminds me, I was pleasantly surprised they didn't throw a flag on that Derrick Brown sack for "putting his weight on the QB" or whatever.  Not that I think it was warranted, but that awful addition to the roughing the passer penalty has been used ridiculously these past couple seasons, including at least once or twice against us.  Especially since Wilson looked visibly hurt after that.  Maybe he's not old enough to get that call yet lol.

No worries man, I don't think the Saints were nearly as impressive as some think they were Jameis was Jameis.... and the pack let them run wild stop the run and make Jameis throw and you will still see good results.

I had the same thought, especially with YGM piggy backing.

Jameis had a great game.  Yeah the INT that got called back wasn't great, but he still played better than a lot of people expected.  If Sam had the same game you guys would be talking about how great it was, that he threw 5 TDs, only did what was asked of him, etc.

Jameis Winston has had 5td games before the thing is he's just as likely to throw 5 interceptions. He had two that should have been INTs one of which would have docked him a TD.

I think we're third for total yards allowed

Should have been first if it wasn’t for the ghost of Ron Rivera taking over Matt Rhule in the second half.

I am tired of watch soft weak ass zone defense get gashed in the second half when we have any type of lead year after year, regardless of who’s coaching.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
