Did someone really say that the defensive gameplan made a difference? Did someone say that Springs and Sanders made a difference?

Our Defense looked better because that was a simplified offense we were playing. Sorry but that Carolina offense SUCKS. They got 1 WR who they have trouble getting the ball to week in and week out so its easier to scheme against DeAngelo Williams and Stewart.

Count me in for a wait and see approach with this D. I want to see us dominate a good offense.

Agreed. Any decent QB is going to rip the defense a new one. Heck, even Chad Henne did

Crennel simplified the defense when he first arrived, to good effect.

But this sounds even more drastic, as if for one game BB and Pees made it impossible for the guys to blow assignments, so as to get them back in a better flow.

This defense is alright, that's about it. Besides the Saints game they've been exactly that.. just alright. Mediocre. Average. Blah.

I want to see the defense turn the tide in some games. Make some big plays, completely demoralize the other team. I'm tired of only seeing turnovers in blowouts or against Sanchez caliber QBs.

Sure it was more simplified, but IMO players are able to stop thinking and just go full out. That's what I saw yesterday - less thinking and more doing. I've heard a lot of people around here whine about how our defense sits back and reacts to the offense. Well, though it may be simpler, can we at least try letting our D make the opposing offense react? Sure, Carolina isn't nearly the best team we've played, but we can at least say that the defense played very well today regardless.

When you're handed some bad field position and still give up only 10 points, it's a good day for the defense.

I thought the defense played with heart. Sure they have physical limitations (and in Meriweather's case, mental), and the Panthers have more, but they were tough and aggressive. It was a step up for the defense. Now, we need to see the same from the offense.
