Effects of a Strong D-Line

Recommended Posts

Pretty basic, but I just felt like throwing this out there in light of the past few games:

Having a strong defensive line has a snowball effect on the defense and team as a whole. CJ, Hardy, Frank, and D'wan's performances this year have helped out the defense in quite a large capacity. (along with the likes of Kuechly showing the rest how to tackle well and tackle some more)

The Broncos game is going to be a tough one...so I'm thinking the matchup of our d v. Peyton and company will as crucial (if not, more) as our o v. their d.

This past game against the Skinnies showed what every year teams learn: Mistake free football + a stout defense gets you wins and that is exactly what we need to continue.

Mistake free offense and a mauling defensive line

If we can somehow find a consistency in these two areas going forward this season, I will be impressed and quite hopeful. As long as we do these things without Chud going all video game style on offense, its not out of reach.

Sul, um 33, er, Assmaster has a point... The day this team plays even decent on both sides of the ball, finishing wont be so hard. Seems we can only be good on 1 side or the other, with ST being a solid meh, usually...

I aint sayin I want to watch the Panthers blowout opponent after opponent, I just want to see consistency from both O & D... One day.......

and it always seems like whatever we're comfortable with coming into a season, it's flipped with results

Think the offense is fine and the defense is gonna be poor/avg going in....wrong again!

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
