Out of boredom I decided to check up on some stats to see where we're at in ints/fumbles. Turns out we're #4 with 30 total, 19 picks and 11 forced fumbles. Not bad at all, VERY impressed with the defense this year.

..UNFORTUNATELY, we're also #4 in giveaways with 31 lol :[

Yeah, I assumed we were pretty high in takeaways. At first I didn't like the way the defense was playing, but Meeks has definitely turned it around as of late. I guess it just had to do with players getting acclimated to the new system. Also, I noticed a huge boost in the defense when Chris Harris returned.

we were #1 in turnovers, but we havn't had many since moore got the starting job

If not for Jake's INT's, we'd easily be atleast the #5 playoff seed. Who knows, we may have beat N.O. with a compotent QB that Fox wasn't calling plays around and still have a shot at NFC South.

which is why this team could easily be good next season

I want Fox gone but please keep Meeks. We all wondered what he would do when he came to a team would spend for Defensive talent and he has done wonders to the terrible D we had grown accustomed to. I don't know if he would be a good HC but he is one hell of a D coordinator and is vastly underrated in this league. Just my .02

he wouldn't likely stay with a new staff. Of course plenty of people want some super-aggressive D we don't have the horses for, but Meeks has shown that good defense doesn't necessarily mean sending 8 every down.

We'd need the help at DT to take that next step, but that's really about all.

Ron Meeks + Torrell Troup (UCF)= Top 6 or 7 D

Yup, we would have at least 3 to 4 more wins, if Jake had just stopped forcing the ball the SS. Moore proved this past week, spread the ball around just enough and Smith will be open when it matters.

At first i was disappointed with Meeks and some of the play calling from him, but now I realize that it wasn't on him it was on the players adjusting to his system. I mean hell he is making James Anderson and our young backups in Munnerlyn and Martin look like they've been playing for years. Meeks needs to focus on our CB's a little more tho, it'll be nice to see them make a few picks here and there. Gamble had one against the Pats but I dont remember the last time Marshall had a pick.

Gamble has 4 picks, Marshall has 3, Chris has 2, Godfrey has 1, Sherrod has 3.

He's doing damn good.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
