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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
