Panthers defense eyed to power 10-win season
Carolina Panthers star Lamar Lathon and cornerback Tim McKyer forecast a 10 victory campaign if the defense comes together under Vic Fangio and Dom Capers. Lathon, the top-paid at 2.7 million, likens the unit to Buddy Ryan’s 1990 Houston defense, while McKyer already bets nine wins. Capers cautions players against predicting, though acknowledges it’s part of the game.
