He is an edge rusher so he should be used that way. What is being done to him and Chinn is unacceptable. 

Snow is a joke in the NFL. 

I’d really like for us to draft/sign a true free safety with range, and use Chinn as an in box SS or just a flat out linebacker. 
 

His nose for the ball and natural instinct are perfect for that role. We were basically gifted a new defensive tone setter with Chinn right after Luke retired and all they have done is neutered him.

I have no idea why he is at FS for us still. When he was roaming spots as a rookie he basically was a LBer or SS with some CB thrown in. Now he is just avoidable for the most part. 6 tackles per game this year just seems like a waste. Every day I dislike Snow's scheme more and more. It's like Burns dropping back in pass protect. GTFOH with that BS.

Where was the defense ranked last season.  I don't think defense seems to be the problem.  The fact that we cannot score any points is the problem.  

That depends entirely upon which metric you judge by.

The Panthers would like you to believe they had the #2 defense in the league last year, because according to yards given up, they were that.

In the measure that actually translates into wins - scoring defense - we were 20th.

Figure out which number best suits you.

In all fairness, you'd expect to win games where you give up less than 20 points.

Yep, but yet we lose any game where the other team scores more than 19.  In today's NFL where everything is geared in favor of the offense, you need to put points on the board, bottom line. The defense is the only reason we were in any of the games this year and last.  Last week they were on the field for 41 minutes.  No defense can be expected to keep it up at that rate.  I would be curious how much time they spent on the field on the average last year.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
