With four weeks of play in the books, we are starting to get a picture of Matt Rhule's Carolina Panthers. They are scrappy. They like to score points. We're going to rewrite most of this graf. I've been reaching for a way to define this new era as opposed to the defensive focused coaches of our last 18 years and I think I found it last week while talking to the Arizona Cardinals blog for SB Nation, Revenge of the Birds:
Rhule is buying a lot of credit from fans with his ‘possessing the ball as a means of scoring points’ philosophy versus the old ‘scoring points is a by product of winning the time of possession.
