Team - Player ------------ Pre-Week 16 tackles --- Week 16 Tackles --- Total Tackles

CIN --- Vontaze Burfict --- 151 --- 7 ---158

JAC --- Paul Posluszny --- 139 --- 13 --- 152

BUF --- Kiko Alonso --- 137 --- 8 --- 145

TAM --- Lavonte David --- 126 --- 11 --- 137

SFO --- Navarro Bowman ---124    

CAR --- Luke Kuechly --- 122 --- 24 --- 146

 

 

Luke is now #3 (pending the Niners game).  Think he can be #1 again?  I do!  The Falcons will know what's hitting them...and can't do anything about it.

How can this guy be? I mean really, i don't think he's even near his best.

 

He has been playing great. He has struggled some in his 2nd year because a lot of offenses have been game planning around him and trying to take him out. Also there a lot more defensive play makers on the team this year. Games like today make you remember what a fuging beast he is

I remember everyone biting my head off saying we should sign Burfict as a UDFA. Guess I do know what I am talking about. Guy is a stud. Him on our defense with TD and Luke...omgzzz. But definitely glad we have luke. What a stud

A bit off topic, but I'm hoping the Panthers take a long, hard look @ BYU WLB Kyle Van Noy leading up the draft. This kid's speed, instincts and coverage skills are off the charts and he should be available when we pick in the late 1st round. I know we have bigger needs, but adding his talents would give us a helluva LB corps with Kuechly and Davis and our front seven would be an opposing offenses' worse nightmare.

I was adamant about the same thing, especially since I had a feeling he was going to go UDFA after his big free fall. Kid made too many damn plays and his issues all centered around his obsession with the game. You can fix those guys, it's the lazy ones who don't care that you have to watch out for.

 

Glad to see him balling for the Bengals, and Klein is proving to be a good pickup as well as he grows, so maybe everyone is happy.

We play too much nickel to invest heavily in another linebacker. We're going corner first if we pick defensively.

I would much rather continue with Klein who was playing well btw.   I can't even imagine us taking anything other than an WR or OL.  Hell I could even see us going CB before picking another LB.

 

That being said .. Van Noy is really good.

And I agre with you. The OL needs serious re-tooling and we desperately need playmakers @ WR & CB. That said, we have always taken a BPA approach to the draft and Van Noy, based on his productivity, athleticism and intangibles, may fit that bill at our projected spot. Plus, Ron Rivera is a defensive guy and loves these type of instinctive, playmaking LBs. He also appears to fit perfectly with our defensive scheme, and with Thomas Davis manning the SLB spot for the foreseeable future, a playmaking WLB would make our defense near impossible to beat. As far as Klein goes, he is playing well but I think his future is @ SLB and he'd have the opportunity to improve and learn behind Davis. Just my thoughts.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
