Favorite Defensive Stats

Figured I'd start to collect our favorite defensive stats from this year. Mine is about recovering from turnovers.

 

We've had 13 turnovers this year, and we've given up 13 points off of turnovers. That's the 2nd best in the league behind KC, which has given up 10 points off of 8 turnovers. 

 

It shows just how resilient this defense has been even when put in tough situations.

 

Oh and in the past two games we have given up 0 points in the 2nd half.

my favorite stat, is carolina is shutting teams down on 3rd down.  allowing only 33% to be converted.  39/115.  And have only allowed 1 4th down conversion.

 

And we're converting 3rd downs on offense!  Third downs used to KILL us.

Not really a stat. But I cannot think of ONE player on the defensive side that does not make a play for this team.  DTs aside and when TD and Kuechly make a play you can thank the DTs.  

 

I caught a lot of flack before the season because I thought this defense was going to be awesome and incredible.  Fought over Kuechly being better than Willis RIGHT NOW!!  And he is,  I caught flack about or defensive backfield was going to be good with the additions to this team.

 

IMO we have probably 4 Pro Bowlers on the Defensive Side.   One from each level with an extra LB.

If you do avg points per turnover we actually are better than the Chiefs.

Car: 1 pt per turnover

KC: 1.25 pts per turnover

I was gonna say Mitchell seems like a long shot, and he still might be, but I looked at his stats this year and only Earl Thomas is ahead of him in picks at FS (3 to 4) and they have the same number of FF (2)

 

It'll be interesing to see if enough people recognize to vote for him

Plus he has a couple of sack not to mention he hits like a Mac Truck.

Favorite D stat for me:

We are always Terrible late in the game and in close games!  Costly fumbles but D doesn't help either (see ATL last year Buffalo this year)

 

 

4th Quarter + 1 point Game

 

FOUR yards Total Offense in the 4th Quarter!!!!

 

 

The #Panthers held #Niners to FOUR total yards in the 4th quarter. That's the best defense in the sport.

    • As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.
    • It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.   
    • From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
