Best of the offense

 

WR Jalen Coker: 77.2
RB Chuba Hubbard: 76.4
RG Robert Hunt: 73.8
LG Damien Lewis: 72.9
LT Ikem Ekwonu: 72.8

Coker’s standing may come as a surprise to those who just know him as an undrafted free agent, but not to those who knew who he really was before the pros. The impressive 23-year-old wideout has averaged 15.5 yards per catch, the second-highest amongst all rookie receivers with at least 15 receptions.

In what should be a surprise to absolutely no one, Hubbard settles in near the top for Carolina. His 818 rushing yards rank third in the NFL heading into Week 11.

He’s been helped out by Hunt, Lewis and Ekwonu—who have earned run-blocking grades of 77.8, 72.7 and 80.7, respectively.

Worst of the offense

 

OT Yosh Nijman: 57.9
TE Ja’Tavion Sanders: 54.0
QB Bryce Young: 53.8
WR Jonathan Mingo: 46.8
TE Tommy Tremble: 46.2

Young has certainly improved since returning to the starting lineup, as he’s racked up the third-highest (77.8) and fourth-highest (71.4) grades of his career over the last two weeks. But his miserable two-game start to the campaign, where he notched the second-lowest (32.6) and third-lowest (38.8) marks of his career, have bogged him down.

Worst of the defense

DL Shy Tuttle: 49.1
DL DeShawn Williams: 46.4
DL Nick Thurman: 39.9
DL LaBryan Ray: 38.7
CB Chau Smith-Wade: 36.5

Carolina’s ineffectiveness against opposing ground attacks starts upfront. None of the four defensive lineman in this group have a run defense grade over 40.0.

Smith-Wade has struggled since taking over as the unit’s primary slot defender. He’s currently sitting on a 30.9 coverage grade.

Best of the defense

 

LB Claudin Cherelus: 71.3
CB Jaycee Horn: 70.4
ILB Shaq Thompson: 67.4
CB Mike Jackson: 67.0
OLB Jadeveon Clowney: 64.0

Horn has allowed a 45.5-percent completion rate thus far, the lowest amongst all cornerbacks with at least 300 coverage snaps. His fellow starting corner in Jackson, who has accounted for a solid 66.4 coverage grade, has proven to be a late-summer steal for the Panthers and general manager Dan Morgan.

Clowney has totaled a team-high 20 pressures.

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
