Not buying the "good to great" characterization, but it's a plan

Yards per play is the Stat you wanna lead in I would guess. That way how bad your offense sucks won't skew it as much.

Points per drive would be better (18th)

Red zone TD scoring percentage allowed would also give a good idea of how the defense performs where it matters the most. (3rd worst)

3rd down % allowed is also a solid indicator of defensive efficiency. (9th best)

TO% forced is another good one(5th worst)

All things considered we were an OK defense last season. Not good, not bad, but average it seems. Better than 2021, but not as good as many believe we were.

I’m not buying what Tepper and Rhule selling.  They have burned this fan base too many times.  I say prove me wrong.

Exactly. How fans can come into this year optimistic with a worse team on paper albeit better coaching, is beyond me.

HCs generally put together most their a staff to win. In fact I don’t think I know a successful team otherwise. Rhule couldn’t handle that.

So they just threw a bunch of coaches who weren’t really doing anything else at this level…and all of a sudden this team is looking good?

TB, Sam, now Baker…see the pattern? The asinine decisions continue.

Guess I just don’t get it. I see this season as a damn band aid that needs to be ripped off and healing to begin.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
