It seems that former Saints corner Eli Apple is a bit snakebitten right now. Fortunately for the Panthers, cornerback has been a surprise strength for their defense. Even playing hurt, Donte Jackson is having the best season of his career and Rasul Douglas has been their best defender outside of Brian Burns.
