Brayton, Johnson, Hardy, Brown.... Good lord...

How close are they to breaking the sack record in preseason?

What is our sack record for a season?

I agree sacks and pass rushing do not look to be an issue this year, hopefully. Looks like we are all seeing what they meant by replacing peppers with a bunch of guys not just one. I honestly like these guys better, spreading the talent out.

4 quality DE's to swap in and out all game long. These guys will still be fresh in 4th quarters. The Panthers may break their sack record this season, wouldn't that be something?

Our DE's look as if they can make us forget about the former Panther DE end that is presently playing for the Bears.

Let's see,what was his name? Oh yes,Julius Peppers. :)

I'm still kind of in disbelief. I would have never guessed this unit would come out of the gates like this.

It is hard to believe, guys like Johnson who did nothing for years is suddenly playing like a different person out there. Brown is playing with tremendous passion and Hardy looks nothing like a rookie. If this continues in the regular season through the bye we will have seen pass happy and power running teams by then and can genuinely say they are legitimate.

I am still waiting to see if this continues but last's night game surely is a statement.

Johnson was also very young when he was drafted. Remember Fox pulling him from a game his rookie year when his temper got out of control(I forget exactly what he did)? He looks like a completely different player now. And a gnarly beard has never done anyone wrong.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
