The Carolina Panthers offense hit the tank when Jake Delhomme went down in week 3 with an elbow injury and finished up 26th in league scoring. The Panthers rest their hopes on a healthy Jake Delhomme and have brought in WR depth in Muhshin Muhammed and WR D.J. Hackett to create some space for WR Steve Smith (87 receptions, 1002 yards, 7 TDs). The challenge will be how the rebuilt offensive line will protect Delhomme and open up holes for the running game that will eventually feature 1st round pick Jonathan Stewart.
The Pathers defense is looking for a rebound year from 3 time Pro Bowl DE Julius Peppers (38 Tackles, 3 forced fumbles) to improve a defense that had only 23 sacks last year. DT Kris Jenkins was traded and there will be a big run stuffing hole to fill by DT Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu. The strength of the defense is the LB corps of emerging star LB Jon Beason (140 tackles) Landon Johnson (109 tackles, 1 Sack) Thomas Davis (87 tackles, 3 Sacks).
