The strength of the Carolina Panthers’ defense is its pass rush. If Zach Wilson and the New York Jets are going to have success with long-developing passing concepts, they will need the offensive line to hold up.
Brian Burns had a breakout season for the Panthers last year as he tied for seventh among edge rushers with 57 pressures. Carolina formed a superb edge duo by adding Haason Reddick to play opposite Burns. Reddick had 56 pressures for Arizona last season.
Mekhi Becton and the Jets’ right tackle – which may be either Morgan Moses or George Fant – need to stay solid in pass protection against that duo.
