Sports Network Write-up

Nothing new, really, but sometimes it's nice to read write-ups of sources outside the norm.

Shitty article. They are still beating the drum that no one was added to make up for the loss of Peppers. This article was written just 2 days ago...so, the author must not have watched any of the Panthers Defensive performances in preseason.

Another fluff piece by somone who knows nothing about this team.

Maybe the writer's just not so quick to declare our defense "fixed" based on 3 pre-season performances.....

But, he is quick to call it broken because an inconsistent player left....it works both ways.

And, he did not mention the agressive play and results once. Would have respected tha article more if he had mentioned it, and then said that they would need to take that level of play into the regular season. He didn't. The article sounds like a regurgitation of preseason articles from months ago.

Nothing new.

I just love staff writers who can punch out a piece in under 5 minutes on an NFL team by merely glancing at the two-deep and not even having to watch a game, practice, or scrimmage.

Now that's talent!

Im curious, if Charles Johnson or Everrette Brown averaged 10 sacks a year would they be considered "inconsistent" too?

Funny how no one cares what you say...yet you continue to troll. Sad little man.

from game to game peppers was inconsistent.

most of his 10 sacks would come from just a few games where he would get 2 or 3 sacks. the rest of the time....meh.

good article!

for someone that hasn't watched the panthers this preseason. the defense deserves a lot more optimism than what that article has shown.

the offense...not so much.

Agreed.

I watched parts of the Chicago game yesterday on NFLN. I found myself laughin gout loud watching Peppers. He had a couple of good plays. However, there was play after play after play where he made one move and then stopped. He just stood there watching the play. It was like old times.

Contrast that with the way our DLine is agressively after EVERY play. Peppers will not be missed. Glad to see his underperfroming $20 million ass in another uniform.

I mean, I agree that the D has looked better than expected and I hope that the performance carries over, but you can't blame any writer for refusing to put stock in the preseason. Chris Johnson had 10 yards on 8 carries - does that mean he's going to average fewer than 1 yard per carry in the regular season? Bottom line is our team is "unproven" until the season starts and it can be proven otherwise.
