Record Setting Day For Charles Johnson and the Defense

For Panthers defensive end

Charles Johnsonicon-article-link.gif, playing in the Georgia Dome makes him feel like he's back in high school.

Johnson played like the big man on campus Sunday, only to have the Atlanta Falcons rain on his homecoming parade in the final seconds.

"It's hard when you put so much work in like we did but don't finish," Johnson said. "It was very disappointing. We did some good things out there."

Johnson set a single-game franchise record with 3.5 sacks, half of the team's record-tying seven sacks. But when Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan heaved a pass deep to Roddy White in the final minute to set up the game-winning field goal, Johnson was reduced to a spectator with a really poor seat.

He's been criticized a lot. His performance was a loud response.

Even through three game he has given more effort and affected his side of the field more than Eppers ever did the last 4 years in Carolina.

The greif that some give him for getting a contract is just plain stupid. He truly get double and triple teamed and Peppers got blocked by back up tight ends.

Congrats to him and Frank Alexander and Hardy for having teeing off on Ryan most the game.

Charles Johnson worked his assignment yesterday and was effective in the outcome of the game. I would love to see A. Smith (36) back on the field to help with the run. D. Williams showed improvement and it was obvious Stewart is not 100%. I know Beason is a great player, but I was not too impressed with his blocking techniques yesterday. Will somebody please explain why it takes five of our guys to stop runners like Turner? In spike of everything, hate we didn't get the win. Love my Panther!!!!! B)

Right now I would rather see Frank start. The guy just has a motor that Hardy does not.

I'm still worried about his ability to contain the run. If he can fix that to a respectable part of his game, I'm not adverse to starting Alexander over Hardy. I saw a few times yesterday where he took himself out of the play. If he can self-discipline, I say go for it.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
