Pass rushers players only meeting regarding sacks

[Captain Morgan]

Rookie outside linebacker Princely Umanmielen told reporters this week that the team's pass rushers got together for a players-only meeting to hash out their shortcomings in the sack column.

"We had a meeting—just us, no coaches," Umanmielen stated. "We really emphasized trying to get to the quarterback because we thought our production, as far as sacks-wise, was embarrassing. Only having two sacks in four games—we were like, 'That's unacceptable.'

"So we came together, we seen that we had to stop being so stagnant. We can't be scared. It's the NFL—quarterbacks are gonna get out of the pocket sometimes. So we can't rush air, only go power because we think the dude is gonna break the pocket. It's gonna happen. So we just let loose."

Well, they let loose on Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa—who ate three sacks from the Panthers in Week 5. Along with outproducing their sack total from the previous four contests, Carolina also notched 12 pressures and held the potent Miami offense to just seven points in the second half.

That’s a rookie talking. I think I like that.

I really like these edges

[Jon Snow]

Its about time someone did something.

If I’m not mistaken we’re near the top of the league in QB pressure.  Sacks are great but if we keep pressuring the QB at this rate the sacks will come.

[Butterflyj30]

This is great news hopefully this motivates them 

[frankw]

Glad to hear they are taking accountability and pushing one another. Need more of that for sure.

[Khyber53]

It's about learning to play without fear. That's something this team has to learn.

I didn’t realize that. Cool. Even if the sacks are slow it is still really important to do that.

Hopefully, this meeting doesn't end up as a miss like a Brian Burns sack.

Well it already worked since they held the meeting before the Dolphins game and had more sacks in that one game than the previous 4 games combined.
