"You'd think the Carolina Panthers would be chomping at the bit to face the Chicago Bears one week after they surrendered 10 sacks to the New York Giants. And yes, some, like defensive end Everette Brown, certainly are. "Yeah, yeah it does," Brown said when asked if facing the Bears leaky offensive line gets his blood pumping a little faster. "You look for reasons why or how did they give up that many sacks, especially nine in the first half." But most of Carolina's pass rushers think the Bears will have had ample opportunity to fix their mistakes that seemed to snowball on them during Sunday night's disaster at the New Meadowlands Stadium. "That was last week and it's a new challenge this week," said defensive end Tyler Brayton. "I'm sure they are going to go back and fix any problems they had. It's going to be about what we do. I'm trying not to let that affect the way I prepare for the game." Added defensive end Charles Johnson: "They are going to come out and correct that." Defensive end Greg Hardy chuckled when asked about facing the Bears, saying, "I'm disappointed we didn't get to face them last week, because now they have a week to go ahead and fix everything." So if you're thinking the Panthers are going to put double digits sack numbers on the Bears, you can probably forget it, even with the less mobile 38-year-old Todd Collins starting at quarterback for the concussed Jay Cutler. First off, the Panthers haven't exactly resembled the New York Sack Exchange. They have just four sacks in four games. But the Panthers have studied the tape and picked up some things they can use that might help them on Sunday. "Always, once you watch film you try to assimilate what (the Giants) did and try to do the same thing," Johnson said. Brayton said from watching the Bears on tape it looked as though they were having a variety of issues, not just one single problem in blocking the Giants. "It looked like there was a lot of miscommunication," said Johnson, who has half of Carolina's four sacks. "There were a lot of things like they were supposed to block that guy but it didn't happen. And then there was some times where people just got beat. You can't take that away because the Giants had a great defensive line." Added Brayton: "It was different stuff. It was different guys at different times. It wasn't one guy doing the same thing the whole time. It wasn't one particular move by one person. The Giants had a great collective effort." Coach John Fox said the NFL is an ever-changing business and also believes it will be almost impossible to duplicate what the Giants did." http://www.carolinagrowl.com/index....ck-performance-against-bears&catid=1:articles
