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.
