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.

      I’m gonna say it… I’m proud of Bryce.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part.

      This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
