No, let him go to Chicago...... He'd run circles around Rivera coaching wise. I don't want him anywhere near the NFC south. I'd prefer if he stayed in the AFC to be honest. lol 

 

 

Him going to Atlanta means the Dimitroff is out as GM, they wouldn't get along at all. 

 

 

A lot of people on here don't give him the credit he deserves as a HC. He took the Panther's to 2 DC's, 1 SB and 3 playoff birth's in 8 season's. 1 of those season's was directly after a 1-15 season, another one of those was the lockout prep year where the roster was gutted. He took he who shalt not be named and Jake Delhomme to the playoffs and is 6-4 in the postseason with out Manning. (2-3 with him)

To be clear, most of the speculation on Fox puts him in Chicago, so I'd consider this a pretty unlikely scenario.

 

But if it did happen, what would you say?

 

Partytime!!

 

Fox wants to run the ball and stop the run. Atlanta is not set up to do either one. Also, with Atlanta having 2 GMs (Dimitroff/Pioli)

it's like the football axiom that "if you have 2 QBs, you don't have 1". Samey-same with GMs when trying to put a roster together.

 

It'll set that franchise back a decade.

Dimitroff would be fired in an instant....as for the play the run and defend the run....neither were the panther's in 2001/2002 when he came in. Carolina Rank 31st against the run in 2001 and in his first season rush defense was ranked 8th in the league.

We took two division titles in a row with Sean Payton and the Saints in the division and you're worried about John Fox in Atlanta? Okay.

 

He just had Peyton Manning and an all-star team and his best result was getting smacked in the Super Bowl.

 

The NFL has evolved so much since we had that run in 2005 it almost renders whatever he did then irrelevant to what he could do now. It's a "what have you done for me lately" league, and I'm not sure what Fox has done given the circumstances of his latest team that should strike fear into us, considering where we are poised to go next season and beyond.

And he wanted the roster built to run the ball and stop the run, Hence Stephen Davis, DeShaun Foster, Brad Hoover, Nick Goings, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, blockhouse formations with 3 RBs, draw plays on 3rd and a mile.

 

Stopping the run cost us picks on Atiyahh Ellison, Kindal Moorehead, Corvey Irvin, Sione Fua, Terrell McClain.

 

With two GMs trying to figure out how to build Fox's vision of a football team, it'll be worse than having a single Hurney.

 

I haven't heard how strong a grip Dimitroff has on his job, but I'd think since he wasn't fired with Smith and made to share his job, he will still be there for a couple years before Blank comes to his senses.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      See, I have a different view of it. I think that just the opposite is very true, and often proven on our very own team.  Look at the impact that CMC had when he was here.  Look at how bring in two top rate IOL to play guard last season made a huge difference in finally getting a stable front for Bryce to live behind. It took a while for it to bear fruit, but those last games were just relevatory. And off ball linebackers like Luke Kuechly, not just running a defense but dictating the game when he's on the field, truly remarkable what a difference that makes. Personally, he had as much or maybe even more to do with that Super Bowl appearance as Cam did.  What I see in the NFL is teams trying hard to cover up for a lack of good linebackers by stacking the D-line. But it gives them a crust defense, one that is hard and crunchy on the outside but a feast within. Linebackers shouldn't just rule the middle of the field, but should be directing traffic and working as enforcers.  But hey, whatever. "Devalued" positions often come back to bite you in the ass when they are neglected. Ask anyone who has had to clean up the mess left behind by a former college coach who took over a pro team and brought their college recruiting mindset in. Yanno, like Matt Rhule did.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see it this way--XL was raw.  Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL-- How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL.  XL will be more experienced.  He will have an offseason of jugs work.  He is a very good athlete.  He can only get better.  Wallace?  Same thing.  He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S.  I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024. Derrick Brown. DE Brown III NT Wharton DE Jones Edge Moehrig S Princely. Edge Scourton. Edge Ransom. S Cam Jackson NT Roseboom  LB While we may not know what we have, we know what we don't have--

      If he hit the jugs machine, X is going to beast. He got open a lot. He just didn't bring it in consistently.
