Panthers’ defensive shift offers a risky answer to their Chris Olave problem
The Carolina Panthers have struggled to contain wide receiver Chris Olave in previous meetings with the New Orleans Saints. However, they may have a new strategy this time.
Since Todd Wash took over the defense, the Panthers have become much more aggressive in their secondary. And with cornerback Will Lee III returning from injury, they could finally have a good strategy to counter one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFC South.
Olave has been an issue for Carolina in past meetings. He recorded 104 receiving yards and a touchdown in their initial meeting last season. He then followed that up with 85 yards and a score in the second encounter.
