4 to 6 games into the season, do we know this teams identity?

What I have seen are resilient players who fight for 60 minutes. A defense that needs to be turned loose and play man instead of zone. A defensive  line who are solid and what I have longed for from the Panthers for years. And an offense capable of coming back and scoring in the last 2 minutes.

There does seem to be some resiliency with this team. Saw it in the Arizona game. That would lead one to believe that these players believe in the process Canales is trying to convey. That being said, it is a very fickle league, along with the locker room. It's up to these young players to evolve the process! I like what I'm seeing from some of our young players. Handling adversity is also a part of that. That's where the leaders/emerging leaders in the locker room come in. Just keep playing with tenacity!

The young guys clearly believe, and damn so they fight hard!

It's Rico's team

Run the ball. Stop the run

A tale as old as time

I think vs bad defenses we are a running team. 

I do not think we have an identity on offense outside of that specific scenario 

[outlaw4]

This looks like the very type of offense Canales had been saying he wanted to have from the beginning. Also a bit like when Wilks was the interim coach. If it nets us wins, then I am not complaining.

pray the other teams defense plays like one of the worst in the league.

Cowboys and Phins have defenses on par with the 2024 Panthers.  I think that has a fair amount to do with Rico Dowdle looking like prime Adrian Peterson out of nowhere.

We can't control who we play against. We can control what we do with the ball. If your back can go off like this, then yeah, feed that guy while you can.

True, but the rest of the schedule doesn’t feature the Phins and the Cowboys defense.  A weak practice squad RB just went off on the Phins today.   

the formula the last 2 weeks isn’t going to yield the same results as we keep going.  Odds certainly favor the biggest factor being horrific defense playing a bigger role than Rico being Adrian Peterson suddenly 

We still are going to have to figure out this pass offense. 

[jopie87]

Run the ball through a mother f'rs face and dare the other team to run in the same zip code as Derrick Brown.

My favorite teams have always been the ones that just come out and flat out play more physical than the other team.

Yup that's the rub. Stay tuned.

Just like with Wilks, the more talented teams will likely beat us. But at least we can compete and beat the people we are suppose to beat. Raise it from there.
