synopsis;

 

using Pro Football Focus grading system, http://www.profootballfocus.com/about/grading/  here are top 5;

 

Kansas City, + 21.4

Seattle, + 20.7

Detroit, + 19.4

Tennessee, + 15.9

Baltimore, +15.1

 

According to the article,   "This (grading system) will go beyond looking at which teams have the most sacks, but assessing (relative to how much they rush the passer) which teams are generating the highest quality of pressure, accounting for such things as time to pressure, whether it comes unblocked or as the failings of the offense and if it comes in garbage time.

 

Trying to see where the Panthers are ranked but can't locate the remaining list.  Should Panthers be here?

Turn your TV to FOX at 4:00 on Sunday and you'll see the best pass rushing team.

Yes.

We have pressured well in 2 games.....

Some teams have played 4 games and had more chances to show what they are. With such a small sample I would think that Buffalo game hurts us.....which would knock us out of that that ranking

[csx]

The Panthers have had one game in which they rushed the passer well. they need to repeat that a few more times.

They rushed the passer very well against Seattle. He just eluded it. That was probably a 6 sack game against anyone but 2-3 QBs.

There pressure numbers were good

This. Plus we have played one less game.

If they are saying quality of pressure (whatever that means) and not total pressure or sacks they have already taken that into consideration.

I wouldn't say the pass rush against Seattle was "quality" considering Wilson put up a lot of yards against us.

 

In this system, we've had one great game and 2 mediocre games.

Past rush got to him and altered plays....

Problem is our secondary is a hot mess....he danced and eluded solid pressure

The pressure we generated against Seattle....results in loads of sacks against guys like Eli Manning.

[Dash Global]

yea id say we got solid pressure on him, hence him having to scramble a lot. 

[Seltzer]

Anyone who has watched the 3 games so far knows this is a good pass rushing team.  I still personally put a lot of stock in the "unscientific" eyeball test. 

 

By the same token, I still think our secondary, while looking good against the Giants, lacks talent and will be exposed some throughout the year when the pass rush fails.

Yep, we haven't played enough yet for everyone to fully see all the strengths and weaknesses.

Wait until we find a vertical passing QB who gets some time. If the front 4 takes time off against Palmer it could be big trouble

I actually think this one is cumulative.
