Good News for the Panthers - they signed a DT that has some potential. Hayden was looking HORRIBLE. I have seen 300lb blocking sleds get more penetration that he was. There were a number of plays in the games where he was literally picked up and THROWN back because he stays high and lets OL's under his pads.
Now, if Lewis and this fella Leonard can take up some space in the middle, the DE's can get some pressure and the LB's can attack the ball. We might be able to pull a decent defence, though every guy out there has looked like they need some basic tackling work.
We are now on the third DC since Fox took the HC job. We continue to run soft cover 2 schemes - because regardless of the DC, Fox controls the defense.
For the Panthers to reach their potential, they need 2 more things that they lack. A decent QB (Matt Moore - our 3rd stringer - has outplayed both Jake Delhomme and Josh McCown this preseason) and a defence that doesn't live by "bend but don't break".
