What's up with the run defense?

Have the Panthers finally figured something out? I wasn't surprised to see that Blount was held in check, because we were able to stack the box against the Bucs. But holding Turner to 76/3.6ypc was pretty unexpected.

What did we do different against the Falcons, and do you think we will get a repeat performance against Arian Foster?

I'm not going to lie here, during the Lions match-up, I literally saw Fua get completely shoved out of the way like it was nothing. I never seen an NFL DT get blown up like I saw that day. So if you replace Fua and McClain with anybody, our run defense would have no choice but to improve.

I saw the same thing...I remember telling my wife he could at least fall down in the hole and be a speed bump.

Funny what happens when you put DT's in the game that are not getting blown off the LOS and generally man-handled.

Both Fua and McClain may develop with time... but Neblett, Kearse and Shirley have done a much better job of holding their ground and even collapsing the pocket at times.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
