Baldy Breakdowns on Panthers vs. Saints

[KB_fan]

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.

And here's a clip from ESPN NFL Live breaking down our defense:

I remember watching salt and pepper in 1996 aling with the rest of that amazing defense. It was amazing to watch Greene rush the passer. He might be handled most of the game but when you had to have a sack you could count on him delivering  a herculean effort. He was money when the game was on the line.

Can you imagine Luke Kuechly playing with this talent

I honestly believe we wouldn't have allowed a touchdown yet\

What a ridiculous turnaround from two years ago

Folks on Twitter are discovering Carolina's Defense and the number of fun clips is multiplying,  Here's another great one!  (Appreciate John posting so many of these!)

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

I never really realized you can't boot leg on us. That's crazy man. Russle Wilson would have problems with that.

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.

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.
