Defensive Preview: Carolina Panthers 2012.


Recommended Posts

I am very high on Alexander and Norman as rooks

Oh yeah, not to mention Luuuuuke.

with:

Hardy healthy,

a full year in the system for the young DT's,

Beason and Davis back in at LB along with Luke and Anderson,

Norman battling Hogan and the incumbents for the 2nd CB spot

two svelte-ish beastly athletes in Applewhite and Alexander ready to spell the ends in rotation

well I am happy about where the defense is headed.... what did I miss (yep, I'm greedy)

Fua looks to be in good shape. He kinda looked like a lego man last year, seems to have toned out his frame. Hardy looks massive.

If we can get just one more stud Dlinemen other than CJ and Norman is competitive as a number 2 corner then this defense is going to be good enough to get into the playoffs.

An improved pass rush will do wonders to help cover for a lacking secondary. I think if our defense finishes middle of the pack, we will have enough to get into the playoffs if nothing disastrous happens with the offense. I am very interested to see what RR can do with this crew... ESPECIALLY if the LB corps remains as strong as the starting lineup we have right now.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
