In 2007 with pepper's 2 1/2 we had 23 sacks. In 2009 with pepper's 10 1/2 sacks we had 31 sacks. In both cases without Peppers we had 20 sacks. Even if Brown And Johnson have career years we won't get more than 25. It could be a lot less.

Our defense isn't built around blitzing, we need to read and react to limit the rushing yards we surrender, and with no one demanding double teams it will hard to find that many favorite 1 on 1 matchups.

very true, I'm not going to predict it but this is the most likely outcome.

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?

Unbelievable

      Canales Addresses CB position

      Oh it was bad and we had no depth so the injuries just crushed us. Eh we split with the other two bad teams in our division. Still beat the Cards, Raiders (who might have the worst roster), and NYG (who had a pretty bad roster). Our OL and RB were solid. Honestly our defense had no depth and a ton of injuries. Hopefully just being healthy can give them a nice boost. It can’t get much worse lol.

      Agreed. Our coaches were better than some of the other dumpster fire teams and we played in the NFC South. That helped. Outside that, a simple look at the roster will very quickly reveal it to be the worst in Panthers franchise history. That was obvious before we had even played a game. It was funny that people were surprised we had a historically bad defense. It was so insanely obvious.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      I take the T Mac, Horn Jr,  and Renfrow additions as a direct shot over the bow when discussing XL. 1 year of dropsies and he finds himself automatically downgraded to WR2, at best, with the t Mac selection. I really hope he understands the gravity of this.  Barring unforeseen circumstances, T Mac will play all but a handful of snaps at WR1. Thielen will be on the field on all third downs, at least. guarantee. Coker will get a ton of snaps. He is just too good to be parked on the bench. JHJ will make the final 53. They will like him returning punts and kicks. He’s has good hands and elite game speed.  Dan still can’t bring himself to watch the SB from 22 years ago. How well do y’all think XL’s 3 drops on the final drive of the Eagles game went over? Dan is as serious as a heart attack when it comes to winning and losing. I don’t see him waiting patiently with developing XL if he is killing drives and/or costing the team games. Look no further than Ginn’s career to see what happens to first rounders with suspect hands.  I’m crazy, yes, but I do think that if Coker comes on, T Mac is who we hope he is and XL has another year of dropsies, he may end up as trade bait. Coker is going to continue to up his already impressive game. I don’t think anyone will argue that. He has a chip. JHJ has a chip. Thielen is Mr first down. XL better show growth.  I just don’t see Dan as the type who is patient with projects.
