Panthers vs Titans defensive preview: The Panthers defense needs to bounce back in a big way
The Carolina Panthers defense put on a terrible no good very bad performance against the San Francisco 49ers last weekend. They were fooled by every bit of misdirection and deception the 49ers threw (and ran) at them while allowing Jimmy G an company to score touchdowns on more than half their drives. Tevin Coleman did his thing once gain, gashing the Panthers for 105 yards and three touchdowns on just 11 carries.
This weekend’s opponent wants to do something similar. The Tennessee Titans always try to be one of the most run heavy teams in the league. This season, they’ve run 40 plays while in a tie game. 65% of those plays have been runs, fourth most in the league. Derrick Henry is the battering ram of choice. The behemoth back is fourth in the league with 151 carries, though he’s averaging just 3.8 yards per tote.
The Titans are undefeated with Ryan Tannehill starting at a quarterback, a feat that has spanned two games. He’s played well in those games, completing 71% of his passes with a 5-to-1 touchdown to interception ratio, but the overall offensive output hasn’t been any better. It’s a perfect opportunity for a get right game. Here’s how that happens:
Limit the home run running play. The Panthers have struggled at this all season. They’ve been able to cover it up with timely stuffs and plays in the passing game. As inefficient as Derrick Henry is, he is capable of breaking the big one if presented a big enough hole. He’s one of a very select few of players to score a 99 yard touchdown run.
Make Ryan Tannehill uncomfortable. Tannehill has been very good since taking over for the ineffective Marcus Mariota, but he’s far from perfect. His average time to throw is 2.88 seconds, fifth highest in the league. We’ve seen this defense fluster other quarterbacks that tend to hold onto the ball like Deshaun Watson and Gardner Minshew. They’ll have a good opportunity to repeat that this week.
When Tannehill does throw, he’s been extremely accurate and has pushed the ball down the field. It’s vital that the Panthers front generates pressure.
Make sound defensive stops without the need for turnovers. The strength of the Panthers defense this season has been in getting sacks and forcing turnovers. As mentioned above, they can get sacks this week. They’re not as likely to benefit from turnovers. The Titans have turned the ball over on just 5.2% of their drives, the second best mark in the league. The Panthers will need to capitalize on the Titans general lack of efficiency instead of expecting interceptions and fumbles. Or maybe the Titans are due, who knows.
The Panthers are facing an ideal opponent to get their defensive groove back after their worst defensive performance since last year’s Steelers debacle. That performance started a downward spiral that knocked the team out of playoff contention. The Panthers can’t let happen again. They need to quickly regain their footing, and a strong performance against a weak Titans offense is a great place to start.
