Captain Munnerlyn: It’s scary how good the Panthers defense can be

Last week, linebacker Thomas Davis said that the Panthers could be the best defense in the NFL.

He’s not the only member of the unit that feels that way. Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn thinks the return of linebacker Jon Beason and the addition of rookie defensive tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short can push the Panthers defense to new heights this season.

 

“It’s going to be scary how good we can be. And I’m excited about this year. I feel like we can be the top defense in NFL football,” Munnerlyn said during an interview on WFNZ.

 

 

 

I'm very optimistic about the D, I'm not as worried about the secondary as many are.

 

I was optimistic about our DL last season and it turned out fine.

I'm telling you people, this team will win at least 9 games next year. Can't guarantee that will get us in the playoffs though. One thing I'm sure of, I'm scared of no team in our division.

Yeah, I'm still wary, our secondary is terrible. Enough of boasting up our defense/offense and make it fuging happen. Actions speak louder than words.

it's the off season.

Why don't you and others learn to wait until football season before asking them to "make it fuging happen."

Maybe he should buy an ad in the Observer.

 

 

scary parallel.

 

 

I like the positive energy.

 

But I'd like to see them mad about the start out of the gate last year instead of hearing yet again about "potential".  

 

Focus and preparation seem more important for this team than confidence and talent.  It will be interesting to watch how team leaders on both sides of the ball and on the sideline step up to get these guys ready to play.

Confidence is contagious and it pressures players to live up to the proclamations.  I have no problem with Munnerlyn being optimistic, I am as well.  If we didn't start off so poorly last year, we would have been a contender already.  It has been 5 years since we last were in the playoffs and this is our best shot.  I think we have the talent to be a playoff team we just need the chemistry and confidence to get on a roll.  Teams win when they believe in themselves.  Last year when we lost to Atlanta the first time it really hurt this team and it took time to recover.  Conversely that win gave Atlanta great confidence and help propel them to all those late wins.

This year I think the opposite could happen to us.  If we get on a roll early and beat Seattle and the Giants we could easily win 9 or 10 games.  If we start 1-2 at the bye we could be looking at an uphill battle.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
