Fastest defense in Panthers history???

We may not have the strongest guy at every position on D, but we definitely have the fastest.

Colts didn't have Jon Beason

Beason is pretty good against the run... Connor is good in pursuit... and Anderson can hold his own. So I think we stand as good a chance as any at stopping the run.

Everette Brown looks a lot like Robert Mathis 2.0. Undersized, extremely fast pass rusher who piles up sacks. I don't think the power run game will run all over the Panther D...the D-Line is pretty large. Between Tyler, Leonard, and Brayton (who I'm assuming will be in on rushing downs), that's plenty of size to take down a Brandon Jacobs type back. He isn't even a lock to start week 1 with Ahmad Bradshaw looking to seize the starting job.

I'm not going to get too high on them. To be fair, if the TEN game was during the regular season they would have run C. Johnson a LOT more and there's a good chance he would pop a big run, the guy is just too talented. He didn't get 2K yards last year by consistently getting 5-10 yard runs. He'd chip away then bust out a big one where no one could catch him.

The big unknown with this D is how they react in the 4th quarter when they're out of breath and their legs feel like jello. That's where experience and veteran leadership come into play.

I am not sure if I agree about having trouble with power running games. We are pretty big up the middle with Tyler and Leonard so we should be able to hold our own there. Our linebackers are a little small, but as long as we do well on the line, that shouldn't hurt us much.

I think you guys are worrying about "power running" games too much. Just remember how many guys were making the tackle last night. There would usually be at least 2-3 guys there at a time. If 3 guys can't take down one RB then we're screwed anyway.

To be fair, if the TEN game was during the regular season they would have run D. Williams a LOT more and there's a good chance he would pop a big run, the guy is just too talented. He didn't get 1K yards last year by consistently getting 5-10 yard runs. He'd chip away then bust out a big one where no one could catch him.

Just to note, Johnson was having trouble getting more than one yard, much less 5.

I am not as worried as some of you. Yes, I see a lot of speed on the field. However, I also see 3 and 4 defenders making the tackle. That is the formula that the Bucs used when their Tampa 2 dominatedon defense.

Hey, that is the point I just made! :P

Of course it goes both ways. I'm just talking about the D here.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
