How do we feel at this point...

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.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
