Some stats that may tell the story Sunday.

Our defense is on pace to be "the greatest NFL defense of all time" statwise, across the board.  I don't expect that to hold all season long, but man is this group special.  I really hope our defense puts up some significant stats against the Cowboys high powered offense. 

I cannot see how our defense wouldn't show out on Sunday because if it's not our defense, then it says a whole lot about how brutally awful the past 3 teams are - as in all 3 being the worst offenses in the history of the NFL.  I just don't think you get 3 historically bad offenses from 3 different teams in the same season.

Worth noting the Saints average 33 points a game this season when not playing the Carolina Panthers. 

Haven't you heard?  Kamara forgot how to run and  the Saints OL forgot how to block during our game and didn't have the the defensive assistant coaches there to remind them how.  Poor sobs.

Any thoughts on how we're able to shut down the running game? Is it the d-line (I've seen Burns and Reddick very involved in run D rather than just existing as pass rush specialists), is Brown that good at clogging up the middle? Are our LBs playing like the second coming of the Three Horsemen (Luke, Davis and Thompson)? Big support from DBs and safeties?

Or is it just an overall explosion of motivation? The entire defense seems to take this personal that they will own the field. There are so many of them in on every tackle, very little standing around and being out of place. Playing with drive and desire.

Dang, this iteration of the Panthers has been long awaited!

I'm looking for Dallas to run a lot of 12 personnel. They tend to spread you out and go empty with it. 

Do the TE's stay in and block or usually run routes? 

Against us, I'd guess they are probably better off as receivers with the hopes Dak gets the ball out with a free runner in his face.  When we rush 4, there are typically at least a couple blockers just doing nothing, so extra blockers won't help them as much as more targets.

There's a good video floating around here on our run defense.  Has to do with how they line up and how they react to what the oline is doing.  As far as I can tell, it's a combination of scheme and the players going all in, even CB's.

    • What is your personal grade of this draft?
    • No disrespect intended, but you act as if we are supposed to value your opinion when it is all emotion and no fact.  The roster (I assume you mean offense) is "still trash" because someone who just signed up for the Huddle has declared it to be so?   Buhahaha.  ha.  Let me show you how FACTS work, and why emotional, unsupported opinions don't carry much weight: TE: Upgraded through the draft.  Sanders is a weapon that should improve the passing game and give Bryce an outlet he did not have last year. RB:  We just drafted the best RB in college football, one who can protect the passer, run the ball, and catch the ball like nobody else on the roster.  His knee will be cleared July 1.  OL: We just signed two of the best guards in football.  that is what Payton did to protect Brees.  Ekwonu has the skill and talent, he was simply missing technique.  We got him a better OL coach.  Center?  Bozeman was ineffective last year.  Corbett is an established veteran OLman.  It seems we are much better up front. WR:  We added a guy who gets open and has averaged about 900 yards per game as a #2 in Pittsburgh with an inferior QB there.  Thielen was a 1000 yard WR last season.  We have not had a #2 like XL, with his YAC capabilities and ability to catch contested passes.  In other words, the X is much better; the Z will be replaced with a stud WR, and the veteran slot will probably not be the #1 WR in 2024--he should be the #2 or even #3 most effective WR.  The 2023 Z WR, who had 418 yards and was showing signs of improving, will not be a starter in 2024.   As much as the OL has improved, we improved the weapons.  QB:  All of these additions increase levels of protection for the QB that he did not have last year and they give him more powerful weapons that he did not have last year.  Young will not be a rookie getting hammered trying to throw to people who are not separating.  This should make him improved.  How much? remains to be seen. Now keep in mind that we did this by not reworking contracts and kicking the can down the road.  We did not have a first rounder in the draft.  We added a second rounder to next year's draft.  We also addressed needs on defense as well, adding established DL, OLBs, ILBs, and DBs.  We get 2 first round pick starters who were injured most of the season back on that defense.  Yes, we lost Burns, Luvu, and a few others, but while being good players, they were either asking for too much money or they were not great fits for the system.  So the D should be better as well. That is not trash.
