CHARLOTTE Authentic DJ Chark Jersey , N.C. (AP) Julius Peppers said prior to the season he felt like the Carolina Panthers had the potential to be the NFL’s No. 1
defense.Now that they’ve reached that pinnacle, the Panthers want more.Carolina’s veteran-laden defense is allowing a league-best 274.1 yards per game, but players and coaches alike say there is plenty of room for improvement
– most notably, they want to create more turnovers.Article continues below ...
The Panthers (6-3) only have eight takeaways in their first nine games entering Monday night against the Miami Dolphins. That’s tied for 26th in the
league, and well behind the league-leading Ravens, which have forced 18
turnovers.”They are doing pretty good right now Jaguars Logan Cooke Jersey , but we’re not taking the ball away like we are capable of doing,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. ”Just imagine if we could do
that.”The Panthers have started to turn that around.They have four takeaways in the last four games, including three in a win two weeks ago at Tampa Bay.Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said it’s nice to be ranked No. 1 in the league, but quickly added ”we still have work to do and we’re not close to
where we need to be.”Munnerlyn insists the takeaways will come at some point, but also wants to see the Panthers eliminate some of the big plays they’ve surrendered.On two occasions Sunday the Panthers allowed Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones to get behind the defense. However, the Panthers got lucky as Matt Ryan
overthrew the Jones on one pass Authentic Tony
, while Jones dropped another sure TD in the end
zone.Munnerlyn said he likes that Peppers told the team’s website in the offseason that the Panthers could have the No. 1 defense in the league. The Panthers are
back on top, just as they were in Weeks 3, 4 and 10.”We have some confident guys in this locker room who were willing to accept that challenge,” Munnerlyn said. ”It was basically a challenge to us when he put
it out like that.”Munnerlyn would also like to see the defense be more consistent.Although they’ve held four offenses without a touchdown this season, they also allowed the Saints to score 34 points, the Patriots 30 Authentic Johnny Gaudreau Jersey , the Eagles 28 and the Lions 27.Nonetheless, Carolina’s blueprint this offseason of filling holes in the defense with experienced veteran players has been a rousing success.Sixteen-year NFL veteran Julius Peppers has 7 + sacks, 14-year veteran safety Mike Adams has made some huge plays and Munnerlyn, a 9-year pro, has shored up
the nickel cornerback spot on a defense that was already loaded with experienced
veteran players like Charles Johnson, Thomas Davis Authentic Travis Wood Jersey , Mario Addison and Luke Kuechly.Carolina’s 11 starting defensive players have played in a combined 999 NFL games – and that doesn’t even include defensive Julius Peppers (243 games) and
cornerback Captain Munnerlyn (133 games), who come off the bench.Panthers first-year defensive coordinator Steve Wilks said there is a tremendous ”trust factor” among players on the defense.Wilks has an aggressive style of play calling and the Panthers are blitzing more than they have at any point under former defensive coordinator Sean
McDermott.He said the defense is playing with ”swag” right now, but insists he’s not focused on the team’s No. 1 ranking.”I don’t really get caught up in the numbers,” Wilks said. ”We’re number one right now. We have a lot of football to play. I’ve said this before – this
defense is not where it wants to be. We are going to enjoy the season when the
season is over. Stay focused on being focused.”—For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL. Womens Barkevious Mingo Jersey , Adidas Mike Green Jersey , Matt Belisle Jersey Womens , Cheap Seth Curry Jersey ,
