The NFL announced their All Pro teams for the 2018 season today Da'Norris Searcy Jersey , and two Carolina Panthers made the cut. Linebacker Luke Kuechly was named a first team All Pro for the fifth time in his career, tied with J.J. Watt for most among active players. He joins Patrick Willis, first team selections. The only linebackers with more are Jack Lambert Michael Palardy Jersey , Jack Ham, Junior Seau, Mike Singletary, Ray Lewis Cheap Shaq Thompson Jersey , and Lawrence Taylor. That’s some pretty good company. Kuechly wasn’t the only Panther to receive All Pro honors. Running back Christian McCaffrey was named to his fist All Pro team despite being snubbed from the Pro Bowl. McCaffrey earned the spot in the ‘flex’ position of the second team. The flex spot replaced to the second running back spot on the All Pro teams in 2016, but five of the six selections since have been running backs (hybrid wide receiver Tyreek Hill is the only exception, and he received first team honors this season). After the Pro Bowl snub, it’s nice to see McCaffrey get recognition for his record breaking season. He set the single season record for receptions by a running back and became just the third player in NFL history with at least 1 http://www.panthersc...ey-smith-jersey ,000 yards rushing and 100 receptions. The full list of All Pro selections can be found in this Tweet:Are you afraid of the Eagles? I don’t see any reason to believe that the Panthers can’t secure a win against all of our remaining opponents, though surely they will lose a few. When thinking about which game I fear the most, like last year, I think about the Philadelphia Eagles. The main concern by then will be a healthy Carson Wentz. Assuming he continues to play without setbacks http://www.panthersc...s-wright-jersey , he’ll be in a groove by week seven and the fact he missed all that preseason time will no longer be relevant. Any rust to shake off will have been shook. Wentz was amazing in 2017 and there is no reason to think he won’t duplicate that success this year. The Panthers’ corners will have to continue their current level of good play, and the pass rush will have to hold up its end of the bargain to get Wentz off his spot.The second reason I’m worried is the Fletcher Cox effect. Even with the offensive line playing well right now —having successfully neutralized Geno Atkins in Week 3— the Panthers will be in trouble. A better interior line than this one (that featured Andrew Norwell last year) could not stop Cox. Pressure in Cam Newton’s face has proven to be far more detrimental in the past than edge pressure. That isn’t even accounting for all of the Eagles’ talent on the edge of their defensive line.The final reason I don’t like this matchup is the presence of a talented and involved tight end. Zach Ertz is a big part of the Eagles’ offense, and so far this year the Panthers have struggled to defend other tight ends like Austin Hooper in Atlanta and Tyler Eifert in Cincinnati. Ertz is a step above those two. The Panthers will need to focus a lot of attention on him to neutralize that threat.However, despite the reasons above I fully believe this Carolina Panthers team is capable of winning against anyone. If both sides of the ball play up to standard Cheap Ian Thomas Jersey , they can win, but it will definitely be a tight contest to the end.
