Cardinals quietly #2 in rush defense...#1 in yards per attempt.

It's early yet, but Arizona has been really good against the run this year. They are giving up only 75ypg on the ground with a league leading 3.0 ypc, albeit against fairly suspect competition. They have been somewhat suspect against the pass, giving up 266 yards per game.

 

Meanwhile the Panthers roll in with the league's 3rd best rushing attack...and the league's worst (32nd) passing attack...

 

Do the Panther's play it close to the vest or do they open it up???

 

It is interesting that only 3 teams have attempted fewer passes per game than the Panther's this season:

 

Seattle

San Francisco

Oakland

IMO, we have earned our ranking. Whereas the Cards have milked theirs. If we let Cam be Cam, and our running games works as it should, they are in for a long game.

Our running game, especially Cam's, sets up a lot of what we want to do. We have to be successful, and I think we will. They have not seen what we will be throwing at them. That D is decent, bur our O is better.

I just believe Shula and Cam gots this. And if they do...I can live with that.

The only reason we have the "worst" passing attack is because we have played 1 game less than almost everyone. Arizona knows first hand how explosive Cam and the Panthers air attack can be.

 

No, sorry, the numbers are based on Yards Per Game...not total production. the Panthers are averaging 170ypg passing, lowest in the NFL. It is not necessarily bad to be ranked low in passing yards if your running game is good and you have a superior defense. The Carolina brain-trust clearly has a vision for this team.

Damn...I didnt realize they were averaging only 170 ypg. That first game against Seattle really skewed the per game average, bc they have been over 200 in the other 2 games. Also Cam has 7 total TDs and only 2 picks. I agree with you though, I think they have a distinct vision for this offense, and it involved a heavy dose of rushing, efficient QB play, and the play action bomb.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
