about our run d? We haven't seen but a single preseason game, but it didn't look terrible. It has certainly been worse and there are still questions, but, on paper, does it look like it will be better than last year's?

I don't feel like seeing Michael Turner run for 111 on 9 carries again. :ack2:

I personally feel like there will be improvement if only due to the fact that they have had a year under Meeks' system. If Hardy does step up and see a good bit of field time, even contending with Everette Brown for the job, I think he could do the job. Norwood looked sound as well. Not to mention we still have Beason and Connor, who both play the run well. I think we will see improvement this season.

Discuss.

True, but it wasn't every carry. I remember us stopping the inside run a few times. Like I said, I'm not gonna sit here and say "we're going to be a top 10 run d this year" but there will be improvement, IMO. Even if its only a 20 yard per game difference, there will be some. Even the best run d's give up the inside from time to time.

This thread just got derailed and there's no Salty. It doesn't feel right. I guess FotF is the stand in for now. I will just prepare this thread to get moved in the next 8 hours.

If I had a bi twins who were horny for beer and wings, I would personally ask for them to get me beer and wings, while servicing me, while also servicing each other, while also improving the Panthers run d. :D

There we go. Discussed 2 topics at once.

To early to tell.

We need to see a few weeks worth of run defense before making a call on competent or otherwise.

True. I'm just stoked and really expecting a good season. I just have a feeling. It's like we're so close to being the best team under the radar that it's ridiculous.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
