Panthers tweeted out a jersey purchasing link. Showed Thompson's number as #54. This should put to bed any rumors that he is going to play safety....

Listed positions, especially on defense, are becoming close to useless. He's got a LB number because in the base 4-3 look he'll be a LB. In the 60% of the time that we won't be in the base, he'll be in that bandit role doing whatever the hell he's needed to do including playing safety.

I get that, but there are many people on here clamoring that we will "convert" him to safety.  Being #54 prevents that from happening unless he changes numbers.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Icege · Posted

      At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.

      Ideas on how to find a pass rush

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
