Creating havoc without blitzing

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

Brentson Buckner (who had a talent of grabbing and holding two  O-linemen simultaneously without getting called for it -- just masterful), the vastly underappreciated Mike Rucker, the Principal Al Wallace and a fantastic supporting cast behind them...

That was a helluva defensive team.

evero doesn't even do a good job of disguising his blitzes. almost every time there is a blitz, we all know who the blitzers are.

there was a nickel and safety overload blitz during the rams game that Stafford saw creeping up prior to the snap and he immediately adjusted his protection towards them. no pre snap adjustments were made from our side and the blitzers were immediately picked up

A legit pass rusher like Crosby would make the whole D instantly a lot better..teams can't just focus on DB and pulls attention from Scourton/Princely while they keep developing. Our DBs stop getting hung out to dry trying to cover 5+ seconds. Yes I know him or someone that quality will cost but you'd rather do it while we still have a rookie QB contract and it's a lot easier to find a great MLB at 19 than a pass rusher

    • 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.
