NOTES:
—Kurt Coleman, who has now played 1,017 of a possible 1,025 snaps this year, didn’t miss any despite injuring his left foot in the third quarter.
—The Panthers have gotten away from the Roman Harper/Tre Boston rotation. Expect that to return this week.
—You can also expect to see Jared Allen‘s playing time to start decreasing in favor of younger DEs like Kony Ealy.
—Charles Tillman hasn’t missed a snap in two games since returning on a partially torn ACL. Meanwhile, Robert McClain has only played special teams during his two games in Carolina.
It’s about time Jared Allen’s time is reduced. His run defense has looked weak to me.Not quite the pass rusher I remember.Maybe we’ll get a top quality DE in the draft this year.It feels strange not having strong DE play each week.We used to be so strong .
DE, SS, CB, OT those in first 4 rounds
