If we are running a dime or nickel then I would expect Shaq to be the top LB out here. IDK, I need to see what he is doing with the DEs or Edge or whatever he wants to call them in his scheme this year. Riddick allowed us to play a stand up DE hybrid scheme with him and Burns and I don't see them pulling that off this year with just Burns.

As long and The Great Failure is in charge it's impossible for me to give a yes...tho I hope at this point that isn't on him and we get a real look in the future.

I have seen enough. I honestly can't think of a positive after 2 years and a 3rd offseason. At this point the best I can give is in spite of Rhule on some of the moves. I can't wait to celebrate his firing.

We will. I never said it was a terrible D just not top 10 like some stand by. It doesn't hold up. My criticism was the run game side and if Snow would adapt it or force it like I fear. That's it. IDK, the O was so bad but the D had it's issues. We also had a much easier schedule last year and our QB situation is not solved by any means. I would be thrilled to see the D vastly improve I just am skeptical on Snows scheme from last year which would look great in school and average in the NFL...just my opinion. Huge fan of where the DBs should play under Wilks and Chinn at SS this year.

13th worst in Pass TDs and 15th in run TDs so good try but still not a top 10 D.

Just 2?

If 6th in tackles for loss the best you can do then cool 2 top 10 placements, one that matters when ranking a D overall. I know we were terrible in field position...it helped our total yards allowed look good while giving up up points to rank us 21st overall. Again, not a top 10 D. We had 1 stat category that holds that argument up but it can't withstand any analysis. At all.

Nothing new and nothing not spot on...just getting louder about it all. The Rock Hill debacle and his part in that was not a good look for a guy looking for local handouts to allow us the privilege of watching bad football for 4 years. If you were a contractor or sub how comfortable would you be going to do business with Tepper at this point?

Take off Sam's red jersey and see how many plays until he throws an INT before celibrating a vet QB practicing well...yikes it never ends with that poor guy. Being worse with more time in the pocket and his play falling off a cliff after the scripted plays are run are huge issues that are not going to show up in practice.

Yeah a bunch of yards, which you broke down into detail which is still just yards allowed. If you are 2nd in yards allowed then pass and run yards broken down will follow that. Again, context. Also no one ranks passes attempts allowed or runs allowed attempts as a rank stat, it is there for creating context. That was not a top 10 D and no one except Panther fans called it a top 10 D. Look at Points allowed, turnovers (which you can keep simplified or break down for context), sacks, yards per play and yards allowed for rankings. Really yards and points in the most simplistic analysis.

Check out points allowed which is actually the entire purpose of a defense. We allowed so little yards yet so much scoring, top of the bottom 3rd of the NFL. It's almost like the other teams didn't need yards to score at will...

Plus adding in a cancer personality to a dysfunctional situation is always a great idea.

Still a hard pass for me. Just play Corral and hope for the best or Sam for a top QB pick in 2023.

Only in yards allowed and it was exposed early. Just run and no one needed to do too much with how bad the O was at scoring. The top D shtick is way overplayed around here.

Good for Haynes. Seems like he could find a solid role here but I am highly suspect that it is more than a part time role at this point in his career. I liked Snow coming in. He just hasn't adapted his philosophy successfully to the NFL yet. Good eye for DBs for sure, might even call it a fetish at this point. The run game allowed still looks bad until he changes up more than personnel.

It's called treading water but some see it as an improvement. Poop in and poop out. We already have a slightly worse version of that and a rookie who needs to see the field. Just another reason why Rhule should have been fired already and be talking about another staff's game plan to improve in a 2 ro 3 year window and not this staff trying to not fail again in year 3.

Please just leave us alone. We have our own problems and don't need to add the Brown's to them.

I still can't believe we made such a move for Watson and now I can't belive we are letting our cap situation be that bad for next year when we have time to rework those deals to eat it all this year and level it out for next year...

More like 20 years. PS2 1999 was the best franchise mode I can remember and it was downhill since I quit playing around 2009.

What more could you ask for in those spots? Dude is a legend for that.

If he was starting for you then the worst had already happened. He was great in those spots, like you said high energy and fun. Win or lose, it was worth watching.
