Here\u2019s an NFL story via the Associated Press:<\/b><\/p>\n

ACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Although much of the focus remains on quarterbacks and former No. 1 overall draft picks Bryce Young and Trevor Lawrence, the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars have an equally important question heading into their season opener Sunday:<\/p>\n

Which team has improved the most on the other side of the ball?<\/p>\n

The Panthers and Jaguars ranked 32nd and 31st, respectively, in total defense in 2024. Carolina couldn\u2019t stop the run, especially with Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derrick Brown (knee) sidelined 16 games<\/a>. Jacksonville, meanwhile, bulked up in the weight room<\/a> and then did little to affect opposing passers, managing 34 sacks and six interceptions.<\/p>\n

Dismal defenses contributed to abysmal seasons \u2014 and led to offseason overhauls for both teams.<\/p>\n

Carolina (5-12 last year) fired two defensive assistants and committed nearly $150 million to some key free agents, most notably adding defensive end Tershawn Wharton, safety Tre\u2019von Moehrig and linebacker Patrick Jones. The Panthers then added linebackers Princely Umanmielen and Nic Scourton during the second night of the NFL draft.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville (4-13), with a new regime led by coach Liam Coen and general manager James Gladstone, brought in cornerback Jourdan Lewis, safety Eric Murray, linebacker Dennis Gardeck and defensive ends Emmanuel Ogbah and Dawuane Smoot in free agency before trading up to grab cornerback\/receiver Travis Hunter second overall in the draft.<\/p>\n

The newcomers are expected to get a chance to make a difference in the opener.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited. I think all those new guys are excited,\u201d Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a grasp of how we\u2019re going to play this year, what we\u2019re expecting up front and just letting it go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacksonville continues to revamp its defense, too. After struggling to stop the run in training camp, the Jags signed nose tackle Austin Johnson and traded for fellow veteran Khalen Saunders.<\/p>\n

The middle of Carolina\u2019s defense is expected to get a boost from the return of Brown, who notched a whopping 103 tackles in 2023. Without him, the Panthers allowed a franchise-record and NFL-high 534 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a competitor you are supposed to have a chip on your shoulder whenever you lay an egg like that,\u201d Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn said. \u201cYou never want to be on the wrong side of history. So everybody on the defense should be coming into this year with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coen makes his coaching debut<\/b><\/p>\n

Coen, who like Carolina\u2019s Dave Canales is a former Tampa Bay offensive coordinator, will make his regular-season debut<\/a> as a head coach. He has several concerns: How will the Jaguars run the ball? How will they defend on the perimeter? And how will they handle adversity?<\/p>\n

\u201cHow are we going to respond?\u201d he said. \u201dYou don\u2019t truly, truly know.\u201d<\/p>\n

QBs under the microscope<\/b><\/p>\n

Young enters a pivotal Year 3. The top draft pick in 2023 is just 6-22 as a starter and was benched two games into last season. He finished strong, though, accounting for 10 touchdowns and no turnovers<\/a> over the final three games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a big look-in-the-rearview kind of guy,\u201d Young said. \u201cI\u2019m excited for this year. I\u2019m excited for this group this year, and I feel great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawrence, meanwhile, is working in his third offense in five seasons<\/a>. His NFL career has been filled with offensive dysfunction. But he believes the Jaguars will be a tough, physical team that\u2019s situationally smart under Coen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always uncertainty in football, especially playing quarterback,\u201d said Lawrence, who missed seven of the final eight games last season. \u201dYou want every play to go the way you have it planned, but it never does. It\u2019s about playing in that gray and making smart decisions and just playing fast, trusting what you see.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time. I\u2019m excited to get out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunter will be all over the field again<\/b><\/p>\n

All eyes will be on the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner from Colorado. Hunter will play on offense and defense<\/a> as he tries to become the NFL\u2019s first full-time, two-way player in the Super Bowl era.<\/p>\n

Hunter is expected to serve as Jacksonville\u2019s slot receiver in three-receiver sets, playing alongside Brian Thomas Jr. and Dyami Brown. And he will be an outside cornerback in nickel defense, with Jourdan Lewis moving into the slot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what they\u2019re going to do with him,\u201d Canales said. \u201cIs he going to return punts for them?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bragging rights at stake for Etienne brothers<\/b><\/p>\n

Travis and Trevor Etienne, brothers born five years apart in Jennings, Louisiana, will be on opposite sidelines for the opener<\/a>. Travis is Jacksonville\u2019s starting running back and the Atlantic Coast Conference\u2019s all-time leading rusher. Trevor, who played at Florida and Georgia, is a rookie running back for Carolina who will serve as the team\u2019s primary returner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want him to have the best game ever,\u201d Trevor said. \u201cThey just can\u2019t win. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n
