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.

    • Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?
    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
