I'm hoping this negativity and film watching embarrassment he must have felt in the film sessions will help motivate a man who maybe got a little "fat and happy" with his new contract.

I dont mind the new zone schemes, I'm still hoping they will have some variations of zone blitzes. Those zone blitzes are monster takeaway makers.

I was thinking of how bad ass smitty would be jamming a receiver off the line.

Also, I also think maybe Trgo's "complicated" playbook was b/c he simply didn't have the talent to run Fox's defense....therefore it had to be complicated to try to make enough adjustments to get something workable......I think a dummy version of a defense we aren't built for could be much worse.....

Gamble is going to get abused this year.....he has never earned his recent hype nor his paycheck. Put Gamble out in coverage w/ a below average pass rush and it is going to be a disaster.....Gamble wasn't even that good last year (which is what people will claim). Gamble didn't force guys to throw to the other side....the other side simply sucked much more and was too tempting. Gamble is pretty good on the short passes.....he has always been a disappointment when asked to drop back.

People can moan about Peppers all they want.....I think you can easily argue other guys have contracts that make less sense.

Gamble isn't a Rhodes scholar but football smarts do not necessarily correlate to the Wonderlic. Besides I thought this scheme was supposed to be more simple?

How smart do you have to be to not let a guy get by your bump off the line?? I know it doesn't take any sort of brain power to run fast. The biggest problem I had with him the other night is that he was getting slapped around by a geezer off the line and then didn't have the speed to catch him afterwards...

      Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files was cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!

      The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.

      Lonzo mentioned Melo going to the Clippers, but he also said we would draft Dylan Harper and he isn't making it to 4.
