I wonder how bad Burns’ failure to defend the run would really look if the team had a really excellent unvaccinated run defender playing behind him at a pro bowl level

Burns should only be traded if they can pick up multiple 1s, and then use the 6th pick to replace him. as for whose the preferred option to keep, it’s not really a question. Burns.

You’d like that wouldn’t you

What a dummy for even saying this CBs who can iso up and play press man are regarded as every bit as valuable OTs in the current nfl, literally all he had to do was just say “well you know we really loved both of these guys, Slater was one of the highest rated guys on our board, we just had Jaycee rated a little bit higher on our board, it’s a real shame about the injury but he was playing great until he got hurt but we’re really looking forward to getting him back.”

The salary cap is an illusory tool. It has never in any way prevented any team from doing something it truly wanted to do. It is malleable to the point of obsolescence and means absolutely nothing.

Spoilers: one of the “not worth a 1st round pick” QBs in this class will go on to be a good player

Ugh

We’re talking about offensive linemen, including interior linemen. Not QBs. These guys respond to money, and the panthers should be willing to pay lots and lots of money. They should take the same approach to free agency on the line that they did last season-the différence being they should target players who haven’t been proven failures throughout the entirety of their career. pay money.

I don’t know if you’re new here but I assure you I will be vocal about who we should sign as soon as the available class is locked in

My ability to see which players are headed into free agency along with a familiarity of the league and it’s players that surpasses yours.

This really isn’t the big problem. it’s a strong FA class for offensive linemen, and the panthers are picking high enough to draft a franchise QB. My concerns are more with our inability to develop talent and a dated offensive philosophy, along with an atrocious power hierarchy. Oh, and an owner who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

“Matt, tell them it wasn’t all your fault”

“Good news”

apparently his intent is to come out of hiding after the team hires an OC which means that either A) the glazer report was true and rhule has to try and sell a coach on the idea of coming here but oh yeah you may actually be immediately fired if the owner doesn’t like you or B) the entire thing was just a ruse to buy tepper as much time as possible before he had to march out to the podium like a man and face us in the hopes that tensions will simmer a bit and he can sell some good news

Did anyone at any point last season think “hm yes if only our special teams play was improved” if anything this team has had a really good run of specialists with Blackburn here he was fired because he was a holdover from the previous regime and probably still says “keep pounding” in hushed tones when rhule isn’t around #culturechange

A token sacrificial offering of a bunch of guys Matt rhule doesn’t really know or care to work with

“We signed two guys and it just didn’t work out”

I still can’t believe he actually threw out the “collaborative decision” bean way to be a man

lol satterfield just got handed the keys to a free pac 12 head coaching job in 2023, he isn’t going anywhere

having a poor offensive line for a season is unfortunate but isn’t going to cost you your job You can easily pass off a number of excuses to your boss ”well it was a rebuild” ”in the salary cap era it’s really hard for teams to field 22 great players” “The Horn injury makes everything look worse” but the kind of colossal and costly misjudgments they’ve made at the QB position can’t be excused or hidden or explained away, and in the NFL, you don’t usually get to make that mistake twice

It’s just a generic thing you say to try and satiate the bloodlust “we have to get better up front” ”we didn’t do a real good job executing” ”we as coaches have to do better” by singling out this one obvious and specific but ultimately small thing and intentionally missing the forest for the trees, you hope to make people look away from the big picture massive misfires that could cost you your job. textbook PR maneuvering

Stupid penalties like that there are why you throw the ball as often as possible

I don’t care about their responses i care about what they actually believe.
