Another sign that the season is fast approaching, Fox put its pre-season power ranking out yesterday.

The panthers are at a respectable 8th going into the year.

SUMMER STRENGTH: This is definitely a John Fox team, constructed on offense around a dominant ground game that ranked third in the NFL last season with a franchise record 2,437 rushing yards and 30 TDs. The backs are stacked, with the DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart combo spiced up with rookie third-round speedster Mike Goodson, and the strong O-line returns all five starters to camp.

CAMP CONCERN: Can a secondary that was torched in Carolina's 33-13 playoff loss to Arizona erase the trauma this summer?

COOL STAT: Including their wild-card loss at Arizona, the Panthers gave up 30+ points in five of their last seven games.

falcons at 4 though?

That list is surprisingly good considering that all of them are usually horrible. Falcons at four is not unbelievable, a little higher than I would have them though. Eighth for the panthers is probably right, and that's where I would put them if I wasn't such a homer.

      So I looked into some of the data and here are some things I came up with using this specific article from the NFL: https://operations.nfl.com/gameday/analytics/stats-articles/what-we-learned-about-quarterback-push-sneaks-during-the-2022-nfl-season/   So, skipping all the math in determining the total amount of plays in that six year span and averaging it out on a per game basis for all 32 teams, it basically comes out to 6.8 "sneak" plays per season from 2017-2022. So, I also assumed since the basis of this article is on the rise of sneak plays in general over the time period that it has increased at a linear scale until this current season(2025). That would mean basically 9 sneak plays per season, per team.  Using the figures from your article snippet regarding success rate(assuming it is current/accurate) of traditional running plays vs. sneak plays that it would result in a total of 1.6 less successful plays per season without the ability to run a QB sneak at all. I guess my question is, what 1.6 plays have you see each year Bryce that would have resulted in.....well...much of anything different?

      Bryce Young - High Ankle Sprain, out minimum 1 week

      4-3, over 500 for first time in career, bills coming off a bye week with a weak defense, hasnt really shown he’s worth an extension, etc. plus if he misses this game then you definitely sit him against Green Bay.

      Defense ranked 7th

      I think horn was covering Jake Ferguson that game which I can understand. Pickens is a monster and most corners in the league can’t man him up, obviously not Jackson. But we absolutely do not have a linebacker that can stay with Ferguson.
