The Carolina Panthers defense was better Sunday. That’s not saying much Greg Van Roten Color Rush Jersey , but at least they forced more than zero punts like they did during meaningful game time against the Steelers. In fact, they forced six Lions punts. In a vacuum, there might be some reason for optimism after the defense held their opposition to 20 points and 309 yards of total offense, even in a loss. But we’re not in a vacuum. The Lions entered Sunday’s game playing some of the worst football in the NFL. Quarterback Matthew Stafford had been sacked 16 times in the previous two games. A pair of garbage time touchdowns was the only thing that saved the Lions from three straight weeks scoring in the teens. Then the Panthers visited Detroit and let Stafford stay nice and clean. The defense only sacked the 30 year old one time and failed to generate much pressure otherwise. Part of that was good game planning by Detroit. They ran plays to get the ball out of the quarterbacks hands quickly, and the Panthers generally don’t do much to stop that. Also of concern was the inability of the Panthers to contain Kerryon Johnson. The rookie gashed the Panthers to the tune of 87 yards and a touchdown on just 15 carries. That’s a bad omen considering the type of offense the Seahawks run, which brings us to our keys. Contain the running game. I rarely find this to be a point of emphasis when previewing games https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com , but this week is an exception. The Panthers are coming off an uncharacteristically bad performance stopping the run, and now they have to take on the league’s most run dominant team. The Seahawks run the ball 51% of the time, by far the most in the league. That includes a 62% run rate on first downs. Their trio of backs Chris Carson, Mike Davis, and Rashaad Penny are all averaging at least 4.5 yards per carry, and all three will get a chance to prove they’re the hot hand in a given week. Russell Wilson can run too when he feels like it Carolina Panthers Customized Jerseys , but that hasn’t been often this year.Don’t get abused by Tyler Lockett. Lockett has developed into one of the game’s most dangerous wide receivers, even if his stats don’t jump off the page. He’s caught 78% of his passes, second only to Michael Thomas among wide receivers. He’s caught eight passes this year that traveled more than 30 yards in the air. Despite is 5’10” 182 pound frame, he’s a monster attacking the ball in the air. Donte Jackson will likely be tasked to cover Lockett a lot assuming he’s healthy, and he’s going to have his hands full. Please please please generate some sort of pass rush. Russell Wilson has been sacked 32 times this season. Only Eli Manning, Dak Prescott Carolina Panthers T-Shirts , and DeShaun Watson have been sacked more often. Russell Wilson will hold onto the ball and aimlessly run around in the backfield for ages. Someone in the front seven needs to get him on the ground. The Panthers will be back in the friendly confines of Bank of America stadium, and the hope is that the return home will get the team back on track. A loss to the Seahawks will put the two teams in a tie with the Seahawks holding the tie breaker. This is a must win game for the Panthers, and the defense needs to play like it. Longtime Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis wants to come back. He’s made that much clear.And since he’s about to be a free agent, it’s less of a negotiation and something close to begging at this point.“That’s the one thing that I look at that, more so than anything, that would not allow me to go play for another team https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/hats ,” Davis said Monday, via Marcel Louis-Jacques of the . “It’s the one thing that I look at and I focus in on that I would say I would never want to go play for another team. You know, you play somewhere your entire career — that’s special. That means something to me, to be able to say I played all of my career for one team.”Davis was the Panthers’ first-round pick in 2005, and they stuck with him through three torn ACLs, and he played in a Super Bowl with a broken arm for them. So the bond is deep.Deeper than their pockets at the moment Carolina Panthers Hoodie , as they have significant issues to address this offseason (both lines, a quarterback who can actually play if Cam Newton can’t because of his shoulder, etc.).So there’s a chance Davis is viewed as a luxury rather than a need for his 15th season, and he acknowledged that he’s taken pay cuts before (post-ACLs).“Have you seen how much money I make?” he said (he made nearly $4 million last year). “I’ve already taken a pay cut. . . .“Whatever I need to do to make sure that we get it done and I’m still here. It’s a negotiation, so this will be something that will take place. It’ll happen and we’ll see what happens coming from there.”It’s only a negotiation when two sides are participating, and so far the Panthers haven’t joined him. And since he’s made it clear that he really Luke Kuechly Color Rush Jersey , really wants to stay, they can enter the process knowing it won’t be as expensive as it used to be.
