Panthers defense appreciation thread

Recommended Posts

According to NFL.com:

The Vikings' 41 yards rushing are the team's fewest since Nov. 13, 2005.

and

The Vikings finished with season lows in points (7), total yards (237), rush yards (41), third down conversions (1) and time of possession (22:01).

Amazing, awesome performance by our defense all the way around. We managed to shut down Peterson and Farve at the same time.... an incredible feat.

yeah, i don't want the defense touched going into next year....at least not in regards to coaches and scheme. what they have done overall has worked. the pass D is very solid. the run D is improving.

what we saw last night was a top 5 defense easily.

It's a shame the Saints won't have anything to play for when we meet them... would like another crack at them. We had them on the ropes for a good portion of our last meeting... last night proved we are capable of beating anyone, when we're not beating ourselves.

The D was awesome last night. That was perhaps the best tackling, night I have seen from the Panthers. The best this year easy; they were actually dropping Viking Receivers one-on-one after they caught the ball (few balls they caught). huge pass rush. That was a championship performance by the D.

I really hope Meeks sticks around next season. The defense is looking tpo notch these days.

:iamwithstupid:

If we keep Meeks next year & our defense played the same like last night or even better (same for our offense too), we could get back in the Playoffs. Thing are looking promising next year if our team continue play like they did lately as I said eariler. :)

Yeah the defense will be a force next year, some young guys got some experience this year and we've added depth at DT which has hit with the injury bug all season. If we get our starters back next year and they stay healthy we will have the top ranked defense next year... Even if peppers is gone I think the defense will be solid. If he wants out I believe we've got some young guys that can step up and do a substantial job and pay sloid enough in his absense.

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
