Mobile QBs = Panther's D-Line > Standard Pocket QB

After watching today's game, it confirms what most of us thought after seeing our D perform against the Seahawks.  In that game, if it weren't for Russell Wilson's mobility, we would have put up a bunch of sacks. (And we probably would have shut them out)  In week two, the D-line wasn't as good, but again we went up against a somewhat mobile QB in EJ Manuel.  Today, we went up against your more standard stationary QB.  We lit Eli up.  So with that in mind, when we play Matt Ryan and Drew Brees, we should dominate them for big victories.  I'm mad at the way we wasted those first two games, but I believe this defense will win us a bunch of games this season in pretty big fashion.

You might be on to something here. I always thought the advantage Cam and the panthers had over other team was his dynamic play making ability. Then all of sudden the league balloon with those types which kind of offset that edge when we play those types. I think the giant defensive players said the same thing after they played the redskins last year. Luckily our division doesn't have any thus we can feast for a little while.

Honestly?  Our secondary also played better.  As did our linebackers.  Overall the defense had a superior performance I think.

Do you say thing just to get pie?

I like the sound of feasting.  Matty Ice (aka Vanilla Ice) already experienced the pain of facing Hardy and CJ before, and now we have Star and Short to add to the mix.  There's one thing I will say about Rivera, he's built a defense that can dominate this division.  Yet then again, two of them were Fox's players and everyone would have picked up Lotulelei.  So I'll give Ron credit for picking up Kawaan Short, and of course coaching all these guys.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
