Notebook: Panthers mix things up on defense

Recommended Posts

(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) The Carolina Panthers showed a little more variety on defense Saturday night, dusting off an old package with new personnel.p/After playing fairly vanilla defensive schemes in the first two games, the Panthers experimented last year with a pass-defense alignment which included three linemen, two linebackers and six defensive backs, but with defensive back span class=boldMarcus Hudson/span as a de facto linebacker. They started showing it last season against pass-happy Arizona, with span class=boldDante Wesley/span in the close-support safety role, but expanded its use through the rest of the season, with the career special teamer logging over 100 defensive snaps.

    • The fans have given up, but I do not think the players have. Just winning 3 of 4 leading into this game, and then players accepting responsibility and not excusing away the terrible game has shown the locker room hasn't been lost.  This is the latest into the season our locker room hasn't been lost since the Wilks season, and then it was lost early due to Rhule and then re-gained late in the season. It's actually the one thing I like about Canales, that he seems to have forced a complete 180 in our locker room culture in his almost 2 years in charge here now.  That's still not good enough for me to want us to bring him back next year, as I think he's pretty bad in most other aspects of the job, but it was still something badly needed for this franchise.
    • Sign Taylor Heinicke, and start the shlow transfer of Bryce to the coaching staff. If he really in truly has a computer brain (just can't do it on the field), maybe he could call a decent game one day.
    • It's not something you want to happen, but again, it happens on every team in every sport and every season. Sometimes it doesn't cost your team the game and just makes a great team have a close game against a bad team, but it happens.   How do you think the Bills lost to the Dolphins this week? Same thing, they figured it was an easy win, probably didn't give their 110% attention/effort in the week leading into the game, expecting it to be a cake walk blowout win. And again, I'm not saying this is a good thing or that I'm happy it happened, but to pretend this is some groundbreaking revelation that is unheard of, is just asinine, it's the exact opposite of that, it's expected and mundane.
