Hello, i want to play a game.

attachment.php?attachmentid=31287&stc=1&d=1250712994

I want to know what your fix is, in your opinion, about the DT situation. How many guys should we try to get? One? Two? Should we trade for a player or wait?

I'll post my fix...

1. Trade for Randy Starks (Miami)

Could get him at a nice discount from that whole incident that got dropped a few months ago. Maybe a 4th or 5th rounder should do it. He's on the depth chart for the Fins as a DT, however he played in Tennessee at DT and produced pretty well, plus he's only 25.

2. Sign Dewayne Robertson

Pick him up on the cheap, and he'll split time with one of the starters (i don't see him taking on a full time role, he'd be more effective rotating). A nice plus is if Kemo comes back next year, we've got 4 pretty good guys on the roster already.

Nice post. Ha. I'm still very intrigued by Gantt's suggestion we go for Glen Dorsey. Not too long ago, he was considered one of the most dominating DT's ever to come out. He's big and athletic and we would have guys around him....if not, I say Robertson-based solely on his size...

I agree with you to an extent...

1) They have got to trade for a starting caliber DT. I really like Corey Williams from the Browns and I think he would be a perfect fit that we could get for a 4th round pick. He could start right away as soon as he gets reacclimated to the 4-3 style of defense.

2) After the cuts we need to find a guy who can add solid depth. This is what we should have done during the offseason but are hands were tied with Peppers. I like that kid from the Giants Jay Alford 6-3 304 and a guy from the Titans Vickerson 6-5 305. Both may not get cut but they are right on the line and either one would be perfect for us.

If we could get this accomplished or something like it we would have three pretty good players at the DT spot with Irvin and Favorite fighting out for the 4th spot (Irvin would get it based on draft status) and although its unlikely we could keep 5 to keep these guys fresh. I think Hayden is as good as gone.

Thats what I would do, but what will happen is the Panthers will wait and get someone that has been cut. I think the guys reporting that "help is on the way" have no clue what they are talking about and are merely assuming as to what will happen.

1) Sign Dewayne Robertson. We can get the guy dirt cheap and if he flops, just cut him and we don't lose anything. You can't tell me the very worst UDFA we have isn't worth dropping to bring this guy in. Seems like a no brainer to me.

2) Trade a 4th or 5th for Corey Williams. Played very well in a 4-3 but is out of position in Cleveland so we should get him for relatively cheap.

3) Cut Nick Hayden NOW. Give reps to the guys that actually belong on an NFL team and send a message to everyone at the same time.

4) Wait for team cuts. There should be a couple solid DTs there we can add for depth.

I still don't understand why we haven't signed Dewayne Robertson. We can get the guy dirt cheap and if he flops, just cut him and we don't lose anything. You can't tell me the very worst UDFA we have isn't worth dropping to bring this guy in. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Cause he is another 1 gap DT. Why everyone wants Williams is because he can play the 2 gap or otherwise known as the space eater role in the 4-3.

the fact that we havent signed him by now, nor has any other team leads me to believe theres a good reason that he remains a free agent that people such as ourselves are not privleged enough to know...

As far as trading for someoneone i really wouldnt mind trading for corey williams and would offer as a much as 4th if need be. i'd take dorsey to for as much as 2 third rounders

3. 5-man D-line

I was thinking about that but I'm not sure how willing fox would be to do that. It could potentially be a 3-4/4-3 hybrid if you put Peppers or Brown/Charles Johnson on the edge with Lewis, Favorite and Brayton/Irvin inside. But that would be a different scheme and could still get run on by a good power running team. Would be a nice pass rush though.

I think we have to get a starting caliber DT, no scrub. Get Corey Williams, and pick up one of the Titans or Giants cuts and I think we are good to go. Favorite and Irvin look like nice back ups from what we've seen. Next year may have to go and get another DT because I'm not sure Kemo will be able to come back from a torn ACL at his size.

dewayne robertson and vonnie holliday. good bit of experience there and if we jiggle the cap around a little we could probably afford them.

i would also be keeping an eye on some of the teams transitioning to a 3-4 like KC, Denver, and GB. ok, maybe not denver but there are some intriguing possibilities from these two teams with players who may not translate well into their new scheme.

in KC i might be keeping an eye on ron edwards and alphonso boone. noth are pretty good against the run and were used in a 2--5-4 formation in preseason. this year. actually the chiefs ran that 3 times (on passing downs, of course) and edwards was involved in all 3 of them. he was paired up with tyson jackson for 2 of them and boone for the third one. boone might be the most disposable of all of them. dorsey would be too much of a pain to acquire but would be great if we could. they are in need of a WR, esp. since they are having problems with Bowe so one of young ones might be attractive for them to help with any trades.

in green bay i like a couple that they have at DT who might be a little easy to get as well. i would like ryan pickett but they may need his big butt to help as raji leanrs the ropes. another couple i like are johnny jolly and justin harrell. harrell would likely be a low risk/high reward type because of his back problems and the uncertainty there. that uncertainty cuold mean a very friendly price tag and contract situation. GB's really hoping that he gets things worked out with his back and are investing a lot but they are going to have to cut their losses at some point. one of those three, though, will likely be easy to move and a draft pick/LB/WR or some combination might do the trick.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
