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!

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
