Lucas gets burnt just as easily as everyone else in the secondary. Unless it is a quick throw to Gamble (where he got his recent hype), Gamble gets abused just as easily. The DL and pass rush was a concern going in this year.......and it is showing in our secondary play. The scheme also doesn't help. A huge cushion given to WR w/ plenty of time to run and get open........how do you expect anybody to cover them.

Lucas has a neck injury that is hurting his abilty to tackle. As far as coverage goes, the problem is more a lack of pressure from our d-line, than Lucas. Lewis can't push into the middle of the pocket for poo, that's why QB's just step up to avoid pressure from Peppers. The problem is Lewis. God I wish Jenkins would have kept his big mouth shut.

lucas isn't playing well but we don't get very much pressure which really does not help our secondary at all

Lucas will not be replaced by marshall, i say this over and over again but nobody gets it, marshall plays the slot, he'll play that no matter what is going on

Lucas has not played up to his contract this year, but he will not be cut, i hope he gets a deal restructured if we keep him because we have alot of other guys who deserve the money more than he does

if we draft a CB then it will need to be another bigger guy who can help in run support and cover the larger recievers, marshall is too small to be an everydown player in this defense, he's good for his size but alot of bigger recievers can get the best of him

I don't know how this problem will be fixed other than lucas just playing better, if we get more pressure though this problem will be alot less obvious

    • The vast majority of mocks from the past week suggests Sadiq, then Freeling, McNeil-Warren, Cooper Jr   https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/teams/2026/carolina-panthers
    • Yup. Hopefully  Brandon adds some muscle this off-season but he'll probably be resting his shoulder for a while so I doubt it. Miles should probably be replaced but I don't think we find a better 4th option to be honest. So is it better to add depth along side williams and Coby or try to upgrade the 4/5 . I think adding depth will probably be more beneficial than trying to upgrade starters and bank on Brandon and Kons continuing development. I really don't think they are going to make the playoffs unfortunately. I think the big hole they put themselves in has exhausted them. They've been amazing since January 1 but I think it's come at a cost and their legs are gone. 
    • The issue is the predictability of it all in a Bryce Young led offense. In 4th down attempts the Jets were at 41 and we were at 40. And we were 4th in conversation %. We were 25th in the league in 3rd down conversion because we faced so many 3rd and longs in part due to playcalling on 1st and 2nd down but more largely due to the limitations that cannot be overcome.  And people want us to spend another 1st rounder on WR as if it is going to magically give Bryce physical talent he will never possess. It's a shame we cut off our own nose just to put ourselves in this frustrating predicament.
