Double-teamed or not, this is absolutely pathetic...

Now that's a valid statistic to use for that argument. The tackling stats are not.

FWIW - I thought the defense played pretty stellar in the first half. It was that 9 minutes of hell drive in the 3rd quarter that blew it all to hell. After that they were dog tired and seemed to have lost their confidence. I'll add that they did a decent job of stopping the run in that drive, but on repeated 3rd and longs DelHomme picked us apart. I'm much more concered about our CBs and LBs than our DTs. Barber and Dex on the same side of the field was like having a double bonus for Carolina.
