The Panthers are 2-0 after a solid 26-7 victory over the Saints in Week 2, and while there were a few hiccups I was overall pleased with the way the team handled their business yesterday. When you add in the fact that it was against a division rival, it makes the win even better. There were a lot of things to take away from this game, and I think we learned a little bit more about who this Panthers team is. Below are five takeaways I had from yesterday’s game, in no particular order.
Phil Snow has the defense running like a well-oiled machine
I was going to separate the takeaways I had about the defense into several categories, but then I realized if I did that it would end up being a much longer list than I wanted it to be, so I decided to just lump them all under the same group because I need to talk about the job Phil Snow has done with this defense so far this year.
