How Many Sacks Will The Panthers Have In 2010?

The key to how effective the Panthers defense will be in 2010 is their pass rush, so what's your best guess?

Here is my list of the Panthers players I expect to have sacks this season, with what I think their probable range of sacks might be, followed by my best guess at their individual sack total.

DE-Everette Brown: 3-8 (6)

DE-Charles Johnson: 2-5 (3)

DE-Tyler Brayton: 2-5 (3)

DE-Greg Hardy: 1-5 (2)

DE-Hilee Taylor (if he makes the team) 0-2 (1)

DT-Tank Tyler: 0-2 (1)

DT-Louis Leonard: 0-2 (1)

DT-Corvey Irvin: 0-3 (1)

DT-Ed Johnson: 0-2 (1)

DT-Backup (Hayden, Landri, or Neblett) 0-3 (0)

LB-Thomas Davis 1-4 (2)

LB-Jon Beason 0-2 (0)

LB-James Anderson 0-2 (0)

LB-Dan Connor 0-1 (0)

LB-Jamar Williams 0-1 (0)

LB-Eric Norwood 0-3 (1)

DB's 1-5 (2)

TOTAL: 24

I hope I'm way off on this prediction (I graded very tight trying to be totally impartial), because they will need at least around 30 sacks for the defense to be very effective. If they slip to around 20 sacks (or lower) it could collapse, pulling the DB's and LB's down along with the D-Line.

What's your best guess?

i like your estimations, i don't see anywhere i disagree with you. if i had to change something i'd give the linebackers a few more. last year when we had early pass rush issues meeks starting bring davis and beason on blitzes (rather effectively i might add.) i could see beason and davis each notching a couple if that's the case, and whoever starts at ROLB as well.

I don't see the interior Dline getting many sacks, maybe 3 in total. But I hope Brayton, Johnson, Brown and Hardy (even maybe Norwood if they throw him in the DE rotation)..all wreak havoc. I think Beason and Davis will get a couple of sacks. Maybe a couple sacks from Richard Marshall...

So I'm gonna say 28 sacks total on defense.

We are playing some weak QB's and OLines. I think we will surpass many expectations.

The Rams, Bears and Seahawks have QB's and olines we can eat up.

The Steelers and Cardinals are also teams we could play well against. If the Browns play Jake we have a chance to do well also. We all know he is a statue back there.

Point is you are estimating less than all but 2 of the 32 teams accumulated last year.

Our revamped Dline is not comparable to the 09 Chiefs and Jaguars. In other words way too low.

DE-Everette Brown: 6-12 (9)

DE-Charles Johnson: 3-6 (5)

DE-Tyler Brayton: 2-5 (3)

DE-Greg Hardy: 1-5 (2)

DE-Hilee Taylor (if he makes the team) 0-2 (1)

DT-Tank Tyler: 0-3 (1)

DT-Louis Leonard: 0-3 (1)

DT-Corvey Irvin: 0-3 (1)

DT-Ed Johnson: 0-2 (1)

DT-Backup (Hayden, Landri, or Neblett) 0-3 (0)

LB-Thomas Davis 1-4 (2)

LB-Jon Beason 0-2 (1)

LB-James Anderson 0-2 (0)

LB-Dan Connor 0-1 (0)

LB-Jamar Williams 0-1 (0)

LB-Eric Norwood 0-3 (1)

DB's 1-5 (2)

TOTAL: 30-35 sacks

Where we will improve will be INT's. With a healthy Thomas Davis and getting Godfrey and Martin roving the backfield i see 22-30 ints. I say top 3 in INT's next year. Last year our offense was NOT keeping up there end of the bargain for much of the season. With a more fluid and efficient offense the defense will play better. I am going on record as saying we will be a top 10 defense once again and improve on ALL of our stats from last year except rushing defense.

Tyler Brayton- 5.0

Charles Johnson- 4.0

Jon Beason 3.0

Everette Brown- 2.5

Thomas Davis- 1.5

Nick Hayden- 1.0

Derek Landri- 1.0

Louis Leonard- 1.0

James Anderson- 1.0

Total- 20

My list above was from last year under their first year with Ron Meeks as the Defensive Coordinator.

I expect there to be a significant increase this year and would not be suprised at all if we reached 30.

Of course you can rule the Corner's and Safety's out because they don't blitz much, but we have some other guys that did not have a sack or are rookies this year that should contribute such as.... Greg Hardy, Tank Tyler, Dan Connor, Eric Norwood and Jamar Williams.

Then you have guys like Ed Johnson, Eric Moore, Hilee Taylor, Corvey Irvin, Jordan Senn, and Quinton Culberson that could possibly add a sack to the total.

It's hard to say, but honestly I think it starts with Beason's leadership followed by Tyler Brayton's, Everette Brown's and Thomas Davis's drive. If these four guys can take control of the Linebacker corp and the Defensive End corp then I expect great things from this defense this year.

I don't see Andre Neblett, Sean Ware, or Brett Warren even coming close to making the team so I left them off.

How is Nick Hayden going to get sacks from home?:D

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
