PFF said they had only 8 pressures on the day so it is definitely disappointing. We really need to see more from Armstead, Buckner, and Dumervil at this point... also more from Thomas would be nice but it was only his first game and it may take time for him to develop.
It was only the first game though and I think Buckner said he was disappointed in the passrush and I'm sure Saleh will be pissed too so they will focus on it more this week and tryout new things... We'll have to wait and see if they improve.
Thats fair, but should also be noted that Saleh did nothing to help them in terms of pressure and I think that was by design...IE "slow" rush, stay in their lanes, and keep players in coverage.
To be honest, I'd expect the same in Seattle.
Should also be noted that for the most part IT WORKED. Both TDs were on short fields after TOs and a lot of the meager yards that Carolina gained were in the second half when fatigue started to play a part from being on the field so long.
Cam did miss some open guys, but it ain't like Cam set them on fire when they didn't pressure him.
