Haason Reddick and Brian Burns have been really, really good

And yeah, they are doing well. Once again, pass rush isn't everything, though. The guys at the top of the graph aren't necessarily on the winningest teams. Cleveland, Philly, Steelers, Chargers and Panthers at the top of the charts. All have middling or worse records, sometimes because they can't stop the run or have anemic offenses.

Analytics, though, amirite? 

Our scheme has been to make the most of opportunities for Riddick and Burns, with great success early on. Both draw double teams and break through at a fairly decent rate, about once a game each or thereabouts. The problem isn't them, but there is a problem in the scheme and in the efforts/capabilities of some of their teammates.

Right now, for the effort they are putting out, and the attention they each draw from the opposing team, we should be seeing bigger overall results in our defensive efforts. Now before we start getting into that #1 or #2 pass defense remember that we had some absolute walkover opponents in the beginning of the season and a number of games where they've just run and run and run on us, with passes now and then just to keep their WRs from falling asleep. Our defensive performance numbers are definitely skewed.

In the end, we have the personnel. We just don't have professional level coaching across the board.

Blame Brown. Dude is not making an impact at all. I knew he wasn't supposed to be a big sack numbers guy, but the other team running straight at him and succeeding almost every time is concerning.

They're having the most success going right at/just inside of Burns and Reddick and outside the DTs. Franky, I don't necessarily blame Burns and Reddick for the run failures since they aren't really built for that. I'd like to see a more traditional DE on the field to pair and one of those guys playing more off-ball, giving more of a zone blitz-esque vibe. Hell, put them both on the same side at times and let them try to block both.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
