Panthers are #1 Defense in the NFL

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

Fun fact, even before Sunday and Monday night football are played, the Panthers have allowed the least points in the NFL, only allowing 21 points over the first two games.

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

#1 in yards per game (190)

#1 in sacks (10)

Love it!

While this is great and this Defense is special. I want to see us do it against a real force of an offense. Do this against Dallas and I'll be all aboard the playoff train.

Only 46.5 rushing yards per game, 25% 3rd down conversion rate. Compared to almost 50% last season.

I bet the entire narritive from the talking heads this week will keep talking about how the Saints lost the game rather than how we won it . Usually how it goes.

When your defense can apply constant pressure with 4 guys, it will be top 10 D.

Remember when everyone wanted him gone last season when it was clear the lack of talent what why we had such a hard time? Crazy what a much better D line and secondary can do for you.

The entire Dline has a stat in the sack column through the first 2 games ... dont think I've ever said that before.

I kept saying last year he was doing a terrific job considering the talent we had. The guy has always been Rhule's meal ticket to success. Their defense has always been ahead of the offense.

I think my problem was mainly that 3 man rush half the game iirc

When your secondary can cover when you blitz 6 or 7, they will also be top 10.

Literally every time we blitzed, we got a sack or Winston throwaway. Some of them were coverage sacks. Really impressed with how well the coverage was today.

Maybe the Saints aren't the Chiefs, but Kamara is still Kamara and their offensive line is one of the best in the NFL, and yet Kamara had 5 yards. FIVE! Not to mention our 6 sacks. And this was one week after the Saints scored 38 points, Kamara had 83 yards rushing and the line gave up zero sacks. I know McCoy was out, but Ruiz is a damn good replacement and I don't see him making up for that huge difference.
