For those griping about the Panthers not drafting any secondary help...

The Panthers went to the Superbowl with Terry Cousin and Reggie Howard as their starting CBs. They had the best D-Line in football that year. Why not try that formula again? Gettleman is banking on pass rush to make the secondary look good. And why not, it works. That is all.

the key to this will become our LB's. because for teams to compete with this front, they will have to make quick short passes as well as the use of screen passes. it will be critical for carolina not to over penetrate and get beat by a screen pass.

B/c the rules changed. Our corners today can't rape WRs like we did in 2003.

Pass rush aids a secondary....however, last year we generated the most pressure per snap and QBs had the best pass comp % against us even with that.

Did you see the Seattle Seahawks secondary? Those guys are the most aggressive in the entire league, even beyond the new rules.

The rules haven't changed; they're just called more consistently.

Norman and Thomas have the tools be good CB's. DJ Moore and Munnerlyn are some of the best slot CB's in the game. Florence is a seasoned veteran who probably isn't so good anymore considering our front 7 should be insane this year he should probably be able to take advantage of that. I'm not worried.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
