Alfonso Boone - DL Sep. 2 - 4:41 pm et

The Panthers are expected to sign free agent DT Alfonso Boone on Wednesday.

It'd be a solid pickup. Boone is past his prime, but could function as a run-stopping wave tackle in Carolina. He also has a pretty good handle on coordinator Ron Meeks' scheme after playing for Herm Edwards and Lovie Smith.

the biggest reason we stunk up the joint last year on D was b/c of our one dimensional DTs.....Fox needs DTs who are solid in pass rushing for his schemes to work.......it is really tough to get excited about bringing in sub par scrubs who specialty is being somewhat good against the run. Fox needed to bring someone who could do what Kemo couldn't do (and that was before the injury)......now are focus is on bringing in a crappier version of Kemo.

Guys remember that we have very little cap space to play with. If we can get a servicable rotational guy for minimum, it is not a bad move.

greater expectations than that simply aren't realistic. It's hard enough to find a DT with cap room in FA and picks in the draft with both above average pass rush and stuff skills. To find one under our circumstances is going to be more of a struggle at this point.

I think they still can find some one better then a 33 YO never was type player. Since we do now have the run-stuffer we desperately needed 3 weeks ago I think the FO will and needs to wait until final cuts until they sign someone else. And seeing as we are looking for a starter at DT we probably can chose anyone of the players that don't have to clear waviers. It's basically every DT best chance to start.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
