To prepare for the 2018 season, Cat Scratch Reader sent five questions to Football Outsiders to get a feel on what we should expect from the Panthers in 2018. Scott Kacsmar from FO was kind enough to answer our questions, and each day this week we will share one question and answer to foster discussion here at CSR.
Yesterday, our question centered around the upgrades the Panthers have made to the receiver corps. Today, we move to the defense.
The Panthers were 20th in yards allowed per play last year, but ended the season ranked 9th in Defensive DVOA.
