Looking at the Panthers D from a statistical vantage point they are very similar to the Vikings...passing yards and rushing yards given up per game are within a few yards...TOP is very similar...sack numbers are also close...the differences start to emerge in turnovers, where we take it away more often...not a great deal more but we have an edge...the advantage starts to increase in explosive plays in the running game allowed, 9 to 2, and the passing game, 41 to 32...the big difference is in third down %, 36% to 27%...watching the Saints run all over Carolina leads me to believe we'll try the same...
The only thing I don't like about this game is the venue...our D isn't the same on grass...playing last week on a heavily rubbered up field was better prep, but its not the same...Panthers playing for their playoff lives...I'm still counting on a brief post game press conference from Cam...
