Best DE combo the Panthers have ever had?

That statement might be silly but both guys are young and can still improve. I know the sack numbers have not been huge but the number of holding calls alone against GBs O-line was pretty nice.

Even Eric Norwood came in and made some plays last week. I can see why we released Brown.

I dunno I know everyone saying our D-line would be awful once we lost Peppers but now it looks locked up for the next decade.

Rucker/Pep still got that one

But yes Hardy was getting a few holding penalties on him. His motor is amazing

Yea we had Jenkins and Buckner in the middle too. That was pretty nice.

Still I'm really excited about all these young guys. So Far it seems McClain and Fua and Johnson actually like being in Carolina, unlike Jenkins and Pepp after awhile.

Its all fresh and exciting.

CJ has been playing exceptionally well so far this year. Watch him on run plays, watch his pursuit, watch him dropping back in pass coverage. I am so glad we didn't let him get away.

Hardy is going to be really good as well. Once we get production out of the DT position, these guys are going to tear it up.

Peppers, Ruckers > Johnson, Hardy until proven otherwise.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
