But I think that lines up with us be great at total yards and also giving up a lot of points. Especially considering we were dead last in takeaways.

some of the total yardage is just teams choosing the conservative approach on us.  No point getting overly risky when basic play vs us likely wins you the game.  So they played D and ran on us more so than normal league trends.

Ill help with this- Panthers defense was only half bad, while the offense was full bad.

I dunno. I don’t think this dude is some elite DC like everyone says he is. Couldn’t find a role for Chinn. 

allegedly was catering things to maximize Burns....who disappointed in a contract year. 

he isn't aggressive.  his teams don't tackle well.  So....

I mean, he is way better than Thomas Brown/Frank Reich as a coordinator at this point.  But we often are just comparing ourselves to ourselves.

I also hate and will always hate the 3-4. Chinn is probably gone and I can promise you he is gonna blow up on another team.

Plus a big overlooked issue on this topic- It was the 1st year from the 4-3 to 3-4, thats a huge change. It takes around 3 years to fully get the right players for a 3-4. Panthers still dont have a NT or the backup NT. The LB corp is a joke in terms of 3-4(luvu is a baller play in any D). Panthers CBs are not used to biltzing.

Plus the panthers put most of the resources into the offense side- first two draft picks, clark, theilen, hurst, sanders, etc.

Defensive stats put in perspective tell us the Panthers players were not prepared well enough to create turnovers, were the worst in forcing teams to pass the ball & gave up the most points with the fewest yards required to score.

That points scored to yardage ratio on the defense is horrible. When you factor in a majority of it was against the run, that's even worse.

Teams ran at will on the Panthers & scored quickly without any fear of being hit hard enough to cause a fumble. Easy audibles for QBs to check out of any pass. Easy mode for any NFL QB.

That's not even a bend but don't break defense. That's a be abused & be broken defense. If the Panthers were to score points on offense, would the defense even be able to get off the field or would it look like the 2022 Broncos defense? It's clear to see the Panthers defense did not factor into controlling games all season long. The Panthers offense was 6th in the NFL at controlling the clock. The defense can't expect better & they need to get off the field.

I don't see Evero improving on any of that as he demonstrated the same problems with the Broncos & the Panthers. Evero would have made Bryce Young look like an All Pro.

Ejiro's Bronco's held the same title the prior season.  If we don't lead the NFL in missed tackles in 2024....it will be the first time for the DC. 

Frank/Thomas Brown essentially have caused people to inflate Ejiro and this D.  They weren't good last year.   They just weren't the comical joke the O was. 

 we should of cleaned house.  Too much of the old mess is remaining.  This type stuff is why the Panthers continue to be so easy to predict each season in terms of success/failure.

I think it's pretty easy to see Ejiro is a very qualified and good DC.  Always room to debate how good.

I see a ton of potential for improvement in the 2nd year of his system with better health of players and better personal that fit his system.  Player health was a big problem in his year with Denver as well as his year here.

The guy had multiple interviews to be the head coach of multiple teams as well as multiple teams trying to sign him for their DC position.

While that doesn't prove he's a good DC or coach it does certainly show how other teams and personal in the league view him in a very positive way.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
