4 D-linemen on passing downs?


Recommended Posts

I don't want Star out on passing downs, his bullrush was just so damn sick last year and I feel he is only going to get better at rushing the passer. I also want KK in  on 3rd downs, but we now have Ealy and could use him on the inside for pass rushing on passing downs. Will we just rotate and almost never see a "starting" 4 for passing downs or will there be a "game on the line" unit that is our optimal?

I wouldn't mind 5 d-linemen  with Johnson - Ealy - Star - Short - Hardy with T. Davis and Luke behind them, 3 corners and a single deep safety. Just sometimes, to see how devastating it is.

DG actually mentioned that they like Ealy inside.

I think they might go with Hardy - Ealy - Short - Johnson.

 

I saw someone fussing about how in the hell we could take STAR out.   You have 4 pass rushing specialist in there.   Star can take a break let the rookie have some fun.

 

I am ok with doing this.

It will probably be determined by different factors.

- opponent's o-line

- mismatches

- where we are on the field and how long X player has been in on current drive (who is fresh)

- how well X player has done done (hot-hand)

Like it has been said, there will be different packages too. There will be different variables though.

    • No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"
    • Chiefs had zero penalties last night
    • You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
