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.

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
