There is still much to learn from the tape, though. Carolina was unable to mount a comeback, despite rallying from down 27-3, to have a chance on the last drive when it was 27-22. Some of that will be addressing how offenses, through these first two weeks, have been keen to attack the intermediate areas of the field.
According to Next Gen Stats, opponents (Jaguars and Cardinals) have run in-breaking routes against the Panthers on 37.5 percent of passing plays, in addition to 14.3 percent of throws to the flat.
Those are tendencies that could very well even out over the course of the season, and for now, Moehrig says he and the defense aren't worried about the details of where a play might be near as much as stopping it from happening.
"I think you know it really is, you know, it's NFL, anybody can make a play in that situation, and you know that's just how things happened in the first half with the tight ends," Moehrig offered, explaining how opponents' tight ends have taken advantage of that space.
"And then we were able to capitalize on some of the things on the back end of the game and play our style and not let that happen as we did the first half…Just cover him and prevent the ball from getting there, and him catching the ball. That's really the main goal; there's nothing really too much special to do about it."
