The Buccaneers didn’t come up with a dazzling offensive display against the Panthers on Thursday night Dontari Poe Color Rush Jersey , but the play of their defense meant they didn’t need to in order to leave Charlotte with a win.All that they needed to do was keep the chains moving, put points on the board on occasion and not turn the ball over. The last part of that equation has been an issue over the course of quarterback Jameis Winston‘s career, but it wasn’t a problem in the 20-14 victory.Winston was 16-of-25 for 208 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions a week after having a pair of interceptions returned for touchdowns in a loss to the 49ers. After the game, head coach Bruce Arians had several complimentary things to say about his quarterback.“I thought he was outstanding,” Arians said. “He had a hell of a week as far as mentally getting ready for this ballgame. I think that’s the type of game he can play Jarius Wright Jersey , I didn’t think he played that bad last week, he had the one bad play, but tonight he was really spot on.”The win ended a seven-game road losing streak for the Bucs and their defense has now allowed one touchdown through the first two games of the season. If that unit remains stingy while Winston takes care of the ball, another long losing streak should be an unlikely development in Tampa. No Pro Bowls? No Twitter followers? No problem."The Carolina Panthers will enter the 2019 season with a number of roster holes to fill and finding a defensive end who can get to the quarterback will be among the most urgent. Julius Peppers is 38 and Father Time will catch up at some point. Wes Horton was largely invisible this year. Efe Obada is promising but raw. Thankfully, the Panthers will still have Mario Addison, a player who over the last three seasons has established himself was one of the NFL’s most consistently effective sack artists. But despite his effective play https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Da_Norris-Searcy-Jersey , Addison remains one of the league’s most underrated and underappreciated players. Addison’s sick statsMario’s 29.5 sacks between 2016 and 2018 ranks No. 10 in the NFL. This puts Addison above more nationally celebrated players like Joey Bosa (28.5), Geno Atkins (28.0), Jason Pierre-Paul (28.0), Cameron Wake (28.0), Everson Griffen (26.0), and Demarcus Lawrence (26.0). Each of these players have been Pro Bowlers at least once in their careers while Mario Addison has never earned that recognition. One of the reasons why Addison tends to fly under the national radar is because he is almost boringly consistent. Over the last three years his season sack totals have been 9.5 in 2016 Greg Van Roten Color Rush Jersey , 11.0 in 2017, and 9.0 in 2018. While he’s never had the eye-popping 14 sack type of a season to generate national buzz, he’s been consistently solid year after year. Only seven players registered at least 9.0 sacks in each of the last three seasons: Mario Addison, Von Miller, Khalil Mack, Geno Atkins https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com , Ryan Kerrigan, Chandler Jones, and Frank Clark. Where’s the love?Despite his consistently strong play over the last three years Addison still flies under the national radar. Remember, he’s an eight-year veteran who has played in seven playoff games between 2013 and 2017, including Super Bowl 50. He’s a teammate of Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly and plays for a franchise that normally appears in a couple of nationally televised games each year.One way to evaluate the national attention a player gets is to simply look at the number of Twitter followers he has. When compared to the “9.0 sacks club” listed above, Addison’s 19 Carolina Panthers Customized Jerseys ,600 Twitter followers are dwarfed by his peers such as Von Miller (444k followers), Khalil Mack (228k), Chandler Jones (225k), Ryan Kerrigan (131k), Geno Atkins (100k), and even Frank Clark (48k).Yes Carolina Panthers T-Shirts , Frank Clark has more than twice as many Twitter followers as Mario Addison.Don’t be surprised if Mario reaches double digits in sacks in 2019. He will be entering the final season of his 3-year, $22.5 million deal and a dominant campaign will only help with free agency looming. Hopefully the defense around Super Mario will be improved next year (more pressure up front, better secondary behind), freeing him up to keep punishing opposing quarterbacks. As Panthers fans we know we’ve got one of the NFL’s better pass rushers in Mario Addison. Let’s hope a dominant 2019 helps the rest of the world figure it out as well.
