Panthers Switching to 3-4 Defense...

.....ummm did I miss something? NFL.com's Michael Lombardi seems to know something that we don't. In his latest article, "32 Questions for 32 Teams Going into Training Camp" he has our question being revolved around us switching to the 3-4.

Carolina Panthers: How will the switch to the 3-4 defense affect their personnel? Do they have enough edge pressure to be successful? Will Charles Johnson be able to handle the edge? Carolina logged just 31 sacks as a team last year, with Johnson notching nine. Who is going to emerge as a rusher and help this defense get off the field? The Panthers were the worst three-and-out defense in the NFL last year.

Ummm this guy is nuts or just mixed up. Haven't heard nothing from Ron Rivera about switching to a 3-4. Yes Ron might call for a 3-4 set every once in awhile during a game this coming year. But we will remain in 4-3 mainly. This guy has no idea what he is talking about. LOL

Why would Rivera bother to tell the media? That's his business. If Michael has inside info, so be it. Rivera likes the 3-4 so lots of us here knew it could always happen. If anyone can make it work with the roster we have, it's him.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
