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.

      Of course it's a crapshoot to find a truly elite QB. But we don't even need that to be competitive or successful. Our two best long term starters in 3 decades of existence were both flawed yet productive passers and each led us to a Super Bowl. Hell Jake Delhomme in the year where his arm went off a cliff and we had to start Matt Moore for a couple spells we had a superior passing offense than anything we've seen under Bryce Young the last 3 years. We're still trying to crack the top 25. All I'm saying is this is not the 2023 Panthers by any means. The cupboards are not bare. We are not working with scraps. We have invested through the nose to build up the roster and the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've also added multiple first and second day pass catchers in the draft. If a QB can't succeed here they are cooked.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      That last line is the key. Passing game lives or dies off the running game. I struggle to see any help the passing has provided in return - there is no pass to op n up the run to speak of.  Add in that we have downgraded the run blocking at left tackle according to analysts,and I really don’t know what to expect from C….  It puts more load on th passing game to help out
