Cheap NFL Jerseys


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Panthers are bringing the heat under first-year coordinator Steve Wilks — and it's working.
Carolina is 5-3 at the midway point of the season, Cheap NFL Jerseys,due in large part to its blitzing defense.
The Panthers rank No. 2 in the league in overall defense and have held half of the eight opposing offenses they've faced this season without a touchdown. They're second in the league in sacks with 27.
"Steve's personality is an aggressive style guy," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
The numbers attest to that.
The Panthers are blitzing nearly 42.6 percent of the time this season on passing plays, which represents a dramatic 17.3 percent increase over last season under Sean McDermott, according to Pro Football Focus. Jerseys NFL Wholesale,McDermott left this past offseason to become the head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
The only team in the NFL blitzing more than the Panthers is the winless Cleveland Browns (45 percent).
Wilks agrees that he has an aggressive, attacking mentality, but said Carolina's blitz scheme is based on matchups.
"At times it will be more aggressive based off what we see on tape and other times it may be more front coverage," Wilks said.
"With Tom Brady there's no real need to pressure him because you're not going to get (to the quarterback), so you have to be more creative with your front coverage and what you're trying to take away."
It helps, of course, the Panthers reacquired free agent defensive end Julius Peppers this offseason to go along with two of the game's best linebackers in Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis. In Kuechly and Peppers, the Panthers have two potential Hall of Fame players.
The 37-year-old Peppers has responded with 7½ sacks in eight games, including two strip-sacks.
But Wilks also likes to mix his blitzes up, sometimes sending Captain Munnerlyn after the quarterback on a corner blitz. Carolina's defense has only allowed six points in the past two weeks.
"We're playing good," Kuechly said. "Steve Wilks and all those guys are doing an excellent job of game-planning and putting us in position to be successful and utilizing what we do well.
"Those coaches listen (to the players). They're not hard-headed. They do a great job with us. They motivate us. They do a good job of making sideline corrections and in-game adjustments. It's fun to play for them."
Peppers said the Panthers can still be better.
The Panthers limited the 49ers, Bills, Bears and Bucs offenses to three points each. However, they allowed 34 points to the Saints, 30 to the Patriots, Wholesale Jerseys,28 to the Eagles and 24 to the Lions.
They're a half-game behind the Saints in the NFC South entering a crucial division game this Sunday at home against the Falcons.
"We feel like we're a playoff team," Peppers said. "We're never going to be satisfied with anything we do, but to be 5-3 right now and get the road win, get off the two-game skid, it was big for us."
One thing the Panthers haven't done well on defense is create turnovers.
Carolina had only four takeaways in its first seven games. But the Panthers are hoping the tide has turned after forcing a season-high three on Sunday in a 17-3 win over the Buccaneers.
"Sometimes they come, sometimes they don't," Kuechly said.Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, "...When we rush and pressure like we did (against Tampa bay), the ball comes out quick."

Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys

The San Francisco 49ers brought in Jimmy Garoppolo this week, and despite some viewing it as a chance to get a six- or seven-game tryout for the QB before paying him with either a lucrative long-term deal or an even more lucrative franchise tag, the Niners' brass made it fairly clear Tuesday they view the former New England Patriot as a franchise QB. One of the biggest reasons why? Per John Lynch,  Jerseys NFL Wholesale , coughing up a high second-rounder for a tryout is not something he'd do. "Honest to God, we need to get him in the playbook, that's where we're going to start, first things first. But I can tell you, second-round picks are very valuable in this league," the 49ers general manager said, "particularly where we are at as an organization, and so this is a guy you want and were willing to give what we thought was a very valuable commodity in exchange for him. So we're excited moving forward that he's going to be a part of our futu...
