I know a lot are excited to see Baker against Cleveland D

 

 personally I want to see Eke against Garrett. Garrett is THE BEST DE in the business, his dominance reminds me of a prime Julius Peppers. If Eke gets help and keeps him from disrupting the day then I’ll be very excited. If he holds Garrett to 1 sack or less I’ll be very impressed.

who calls him Eke...? 

 

 

Most critical outside of Baker and our OL is definitely our run defense. I expect Chubb and Hunt to have success against our run D but we need to mitigate the damage significantly better than our run D from last year if we want to win. I think this offense is going to take a few months to really gel and the defense will need to prove itself early if we're going to be a true playoff contender.

Someone posted yesterday that we were 8th last year in yards per carry. Now to me? That's pretty respectable. I don't understand why so many around here seem so down on the run D?

Me and my TV with fargin PANTHERS FOOTBALL on it!

But the "matchup" I'll be anxious to see is not the normal "them vs. us."  I want to see how Baker matches up with a healthy CMC who matches up with a revamped O-line. 

So, I guess it's our healthy/revamped O against their D.

      Canes vs Kings 3pm

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
