Creating havoc without blitzing

Talking in flattering terms about our OL should be banned until they can stonewall 4 guys. Any OL. I mean, 5 on 4 and plus a TE and a back, you still leak like a sieve, you aren’t getting it done. Should be embarrassed.

This is about our inability to create any kind of pressure on the qb.. Even when we blitz

Sorry I flashed on all the 4 man rushes that defeated us. 
 

As far as our D take me back to a 4-3 and the guys from 2003 era. 4 could do it. I know under Tepper we are doomed to rot with this 3-4.

Of course, having Julius Peppers makes a colossal difference in that situation. 

If only...

Yep. And Kris Jenkins. It was good. Great times for a fan of defensive football.

Maybe drop the damn 3-4. I don't think our personnel is as bad for a switch as most. Our inside linebackers suck anyways so no big loss there. Scourton can play in a 4-3 and princely didn't do anything in the 3-4 anyway. So we wouldn't make a change because one third round pick wouldn't make the cut?

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
