Haason Reddick had 1.5 to lead the way, with Burns, Brown, Shaq Thompson, and Marquis Haynes adding one each, and rookie Daviyon Nixon splitting the other with Reddick.
That kind of broad-based approach is what they've hinted at all preseason, as a number of players share the load. Eight different players hit Wilson Sunday.
Reddick and Burns — who combined for 21.5 sacks last year — have a friendly bet on who gets more sacks, and have suggested 30 is within their reach. At the rate they got after Wilson (though it will get tougher against better offensive lines, starting next week with the Saints), you wonder if that's a realistic goal.
"We have some great guys up front. From the edges to the interior. Even our rotational pieces. Guys that are real dogs and can get after it," Reddick said. "That's what we put out there on the field today. That's what we put on film. We did what we said we were able to do when we talk to ourselves and how we wanted to go out there and establish who we are. I think we took care of that today.
"It's a beautiful thing. When I first signed here and I saw who was on the roster, I saw Brian, saw Derrick, saw the guys we brought in. Morgan Fox, Marquis Haynes. When I saw that, I already knew we could be special. I already knew that we had some dogs. The thing about it was being able to go on the field, go and practice. Work on these things. Work on rushing the passer. Then on game day delivering. I'm excited to be here. I'm happy to be here. Everything looks like it's going to be good. We'll see how that goes one week at a time. Like I said, keep getting better."
The Panthers led the league in the preseason in turnover margin, so it's clearly something they've suggested they can do. They only created one turnover Sunday, an interception by Thompson, but that was part of a full day for the new number 7. He led the team with 10 tackles and added a sack and three pass deflections.
