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.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
