No more clips from Baldy to post right now, but today John Ellis - the Huddle's own @ellis - posted a cool clip on Twitter that, like Baldy, really brings home the fact this this has been a whole of defense effort.  The team is really playing together in a concerted effort and it's working so beautifully.

Thanks for passing that clip -- what a scary sight for OCs to see in their film study.  Hard to block all those torpedoes coming at you.

I'd note that, if you count the time between snaps and contact with the QB, it LOOKS sudden as a lightning bolt, but many hit after 3-4 seconds.  This means it's NOT JUST the ferocity of the rushers, but the coverage by the secondary, highlighted by Snow's switch from soft zone to press man.

I don't care which QB we have to face -- Dak, Brady, Murray, Allen -- they'll all feel the unique pressure we bring.

Back when NFL Network was a young pup and fantasy football became such a big thing there was a show where Baldy and a few others would breakdown plays from the previous weekend's games complete with X's and O's and film. I can't remember the name of the show but I used to watch it every week.

Playbook, him & Sterling Sharpe, loved it…. NFLN early days…,

I enjoy listening to Baldy too.  Obviously having been in the trenches he knows what he is talking about.  There aren't many that are as good as Baldy.

There are a few that are good at diagnosing the plays.

Dan Orlovsky is good at it too.  Not much of a QB but very intelligent and I enjoy listening to him.  Even if I don't agree with him.

MY WORD!  Here is a compilation of all Panthers sacks so far.  Got to be terrifying for any opposing QB to watch this!

 

 

Favorites Burns blowing up Wilson for our first sack and Brown planting Wilson about 6 inches below the surface. 

Honorable Mention Riddick sack on Winston to get things started for us Sunday.

The interesting thing, I thought, was that Derrick Brown was only on the field in three of the 10 sacks we've done. Not as in "not involved in", but "not on the field" at all. Of the three sack plays he was on the field, he made the sack in the second and in the other two just tied up o-linemen.

Not knocking Brown at all here, but just pointing out that he might be a defensive tempo indicator. I believe Brown is mainly playing rushing downs or spelling some of our faster d-linemen. He's being substituted out for faster guys on likely passing plays to add more dimension to the four man rush we're using most of the time and maybe to clear some square-footage to squeeze in a blitzing backer or safety (since we seem to send them up the middle more). 

Really would like to see some of the plays where we shut down the opponents' run games to see what kind of impact he's having there.

Truth be told, whatever is going on here with him, it's certainly not broke and it doesn't need fixing.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
