Brett Kollman: Panthers defence breakdown

I love it.  Amazing.  Our D is such a damn problem.  Like he said, even if we only end up at 80% of what its been so far, for the rest of the season, itll still be an historically good defense.  

And the scary thing for the rest of the league is.....we're just getting started.

Bro used a whole tree in that drink, and hopefully didn’t cue Kellon Mond into how to attack us. 
 

what you are seeing is the joy of being multiple with the same personnel. 

Why would Kellen Mond be playing QB against us?  Cousins is having the best start to a season in his career....

Kellen Moore. Their OC. My bad 

Ahhhh OK.  Gotcha.  Well yeah....but you have to think if this guy sees this, then NFL coaches who are paid to do this type of thing also see it.  You can know its coming all day long, the hard part is stopping it.

I doubt opposing OCs haven't already seen all this.  But, as you correctly conclude, hard to stop it.

That's because the direction of our rush is so well disguised at the LOS.  They can't for a certainty expect any D formation will result in any defined rush pattern.

There are 2 wonderful parts to this:

1) Snow himself couldn't pull this off, until he had assembled the individual talents (fast, versatile, teachable, aggressive) to play all these interchangeable roles.  Now he does, and unless other teams match the personnel attributes, they can't copy it.  Maybe it can be scoffed at as "college," but nobody can figure it out -- or beat it.

2) Just as important, all our guys are young, and this can go on awhile.  These results aren't being produced because we got some old veteran FA that we can only count on for a year.  Snow has redefined football as a team sport.

(and I'm willing to bet that C.J. Henderson will buy into this, and think he's gone to football heaven)

This video really shows me that last years 1st round pick in Brown was critical to the scheme. 

I typically support all our draft choices but I was 1 among the crowd that thought a run stuffing DT that early might not have been the best value. 

Now I see it all come together. I love that this team is thinking long term with team building.

2 things: Roy was taking a triple team on that 1 play to spring Fox. He's not bad for a back up.

2nd, rumor has it that If we hadn't drafted Brown we were looking at CJ. Now we have both!

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • 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.
