news flash d-line disappears in Carolina

[Joelist]

The DL got pwned today by scrubs, and made it really easy for a QB not known for accurate passing to complete passes - zero pressure will do that.

I think that's correct.  It looked like Nickerson and Evans were biting on front side run action which allowed the Panthers to double team our tackles and create huge cutback lanes.

One word:  Attitude.

AgreeAgreed. But they rushed the ball 41 times for 230 yards. That means the Dline did a terrible job at being the first wall of defense against a not good Oline. The linebackers obviously need to step up and help but if they're going to talk about being one of the best Dlines and getting paid like it you can't have that kind of performance.

Far more the scheme by the DC and terrible LB play.......These guys failed to take on blocks, shed blocks and plug holes.....Absolutely ZERO reason any RB let alone a catch-passing RB has the game of their lives against them.......

Though I am not the biggest MJ fan, though I like the guy, I think the d-line missed him yesterday to help stop the run. Not saying him missing is the reason by any means, but he would have helped. Besides imo overall, this d-line doesn't seem built to stop the run. And I am not knocking anyone for that, because after all this is definitely more of a passing league which this d-line is built for, imo.

Carolina had 3 O-lineman starters out as well...

Sure would like to see Dunlap take more passing down snaps at RDE with the right handed quarterbacks.

I noticed that too. Standing at the goal line waiting for Cam to come meet him. Like WTF bro?

I'm a little concerned about Lawson's sophomore slump. Hopefully he snaps out of it.
