Where in the world is our pass rush?

There was so much hype about G. Hardy, E. Brown, and Norwood in OTA's and pre-season. That being said, I haven't had any chance to watch our games thus far in entirety (except for the Giants game). I know our sack count is pretty low, but have we generated pressure or does that stat tell the real story? My expectations grew for that young defensive line with every pre-season result but maybe it was unwarranted. Thoughts/discuss.

Sucks being in the Northeast as a Panther fan :(

yep, and its not like we did have any pass rush, we just couldn't get there, and we forced Carson to throw some bad passes.

Correct and what we're really missing is consistent penetration up the middle from a DT. Jenkins made Rucker and Peppers much more effective because he collapsed the pocket.

i have noticed lately how the panthers went from the absolute best DLine in the league, to the worst DLine in the league in about 6 seasons. what gives?

not uncommon at all to see a team's specific offensive or defensive unit fluctuate greatly over a season or two. six seasons for a defensive line may as well be a millennium in football years.

exactly. it is much easier to get to the QB if you can flush them out of the pocket. it also makes them much more likely to make a mistake by throwing off of theyre back foot, or not being able to assess coverage while they are on the run.

Not it is NOT...you are completely wrong.

It is much more difficult to sack the QB if you flush him out of the pocket.

It is much easier to get to the QB if you can keep him IN the pocket. You need to collapse the middle so that he cannot step up.

Damn...I swear some people have never even watched the game of football.

to be honest i am not unhappy with the pass rush....we had freeman dead to rights at least 2-3 times a few weeks ago only to have him brush it off...now palmer we didnt get as much pressure but he is a vet he knows better than to stand in there and take a lot of hits...he was getting the ball out quick

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother, I don't want to drop the amount of rage I have about BY and the fuging Pickett signing....when murray was free, tua was free, lance was about the same cost. But you know during practice when other teammates see and hear the passing for any of them compared to BY, he may cry right then.... It does feel like Dan and Tillis were told "make BY work, by any means". You recall the first plan was to drop 163 million on OGs to protect the little fellow.......then drafting WRs and they even signed his buddy WR this FA period..... I just go back to Dan Morgan wanting instill competition throughout the roster and T-H-A-T is your QB room ??? bloody hell, what a joke and disrespect to the whole roster outside that group....

      Id drop this in here- I fully believe nearly ALLL the Tmac hate leading up to the draft came from the Panthers..... There was plenty and it was believable, cause many did just that. There was huge questions and about 85% of the huddle took the cheese hate.  I do have this too- Banks has a broken feet and a history of feet/ankle issues. If he didn't, 19 would have been fair landing spot. Of course, but Prince spoke highly of him in a Twitter post....former teammates and all, but he still made the post and I haven't seen other players prince did so for.... Maybe the 51st on banks, but maaaaaannnn big men with broken feet broken its feels like it never ends well. I mean after brain, spine, I think Feet are the career killer leader.  Draft DL feels weak in every way.    Last morsel- there's a weak rumor of Panthers trading for DT Payne out on the vine....(his price I feel kills it, but new contract solves that for trades)....

      If we go all in and sell out with Bryce as our QB, it will even more entrench the idea that Tepper is at minimum running the QB room for me. Now i could be wrong and Dan really is that confident in Bryce all by himself, but nothing this team has done in the past 3 offseasons leads me to believe that there hasnt been some noise from big T. He's admitted that he walks through the office making his opinion known. To me, Bryce's output has just not generated that kind of confidence that we are playoff worthy other than against the Rams. Against the SB champs, just damn.
