When you're DPOY you should win 99% of those one on one match. Pouncey murdered his ass last week. Same crap again today.

It's not like they're coming after him with two OLs. It's ONE.

 

ray lewis won 2 DPOYs and had the same thing happen to him before the ravens drafted ngata

 

really if a DPOY should win 99% of those matchups then let's line luke up at DT i guess

and alexander is our most complete de outside of cj who has been terrible.

 

hopefully it helps. alexander is a 3 down de.

 

That might be the best attribute of getting him back.  Horton and Addison are quality depth, but they're just that, depth.  With Johnson hurt, Alexander steps in as the best DE and it may be time to start increasing Ealy's work load.

Star's getting handled because with Hardy out there's nobody to worry about outside him. 

 

No one's all that scared of Charles Johnson on the other side either.

 

Colin Cole is no longer overachieving and Dwan Edwards looks like he might be on the downside.

 

Everything our defense does feeds off the line, and they're not getting it done, which means blockers can get in the way of our linebackers.

 

We're getting beaten in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

Look at how badly Cole is dominated and how quickly the G is on Luke.

it wasn't like luke was bulldozed to the other side of the field or anything either.  he was still close to the ball.

 

harper had the cleanest avenue to the ball carrier of anyone relatively speaking but he took a bad angle and just kind of fell down at the guy's feet.

By the time Luke touched the ball carrier, he was already 7 yards down field with a full head of steam.

 

In general the whole d has stunk but the majority of blame goes to d-line.  They were built to be our strength and aren't living up to it.

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
