Article takes a look at the new D coordinators in the NFC South

NFC South: Three New Faces, Three New Defenses

In the eyes of many national pundits, the NFC South is known as a defensive division. The reason why is a bit of a mystery though, as it's been several years since Atlanta and Carolina fielded defenses that merited any sort of praise whatsoever, and even longer since the days of the Dome Patrol in New Orleans.

The reality is that aside from Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the South is about offense. It's about big play offense too, whether that's predicated on the running game (Falcons), the passing game (Saints), or a little bit of both (Panthers).

Last year the Saints, Falcons and Panthers finished first, sixth, and 10th in total offense. On defense, only the Buccaneers cracked the top ten with a ninth place finish.

So this "defensively oriented" division has some work to do if it wishes to earn it's reputation. And three of the teams have new defensive coordinators in 2009.

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
