Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

One of the Carolina Panthers' newest defenders thinks their pass rush can go from worst to first.

ESPN's David Newton recently chatted with outside linebacker Pat Jones II, who signed with the Panthers as a free agent earlier this offseason. Jones comes over from an awfully impressive Minnesota Vikings defense—one that ranked first in takeaways (33), fourth in sacks (49) and second in QB pressure rate (44.4 percent) this past season.

And despite a historically-bad campaign by Carolina's defense in 2024, the 26-year-old seems to believe his new unit can be similar—or even better—than his last.

"I definitely think we could do something similar, if not better," Jones said, via Newton. "I've seen it before, so I know what it looks like. I look around the building and see we have exactly what it takes to do that."

It's the offseason.  Let hope spring eternal.

(actually, I think we are much closer than this board thinks)

Talk is cheap, but like others already posted you have to have that type of mentality. 

It is always good to have guys from a team that was dominate and understand what i takes to make said changes.  I think we at least have depth and DAWGS that DM has been wanting to add at all positions.  

Whether that translates to better play on field or wins/loses i am hoping that is the case.

I do think we'll see a pretty substantive jump in the quality of our defense this year, but it comes from multiple things.  That front line is gonna be pretty impressive IMO with healthy brown, Bobby Brown, and Tershawn Warton.  thats gonna open space for our LB's and Moehrig dropping into the box helping stuff the run.  Evero CAN have a very successful defense, he has to have the pieces and I do think he has the pieces he needed.  Lets see what his scheme cooks up with quality pieces and not just UDFAs and random JAGS.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
