I am hoping we keep 6 linebackers.  Id sure hate for something to happen to Luke and have to rely on a rookie to fill his shoes.

 

If we did get rid of Klein could we get anything for him ?  A third or 4th round pick ?

​

If this happens,  well Klein was a 5th round pick that we don't want anymore, so no,

no one will offer a thing for him, not even a 7th.  I think he showed last year he is

not good enough on the outside, and Man of Steel Luke in the middle, he's not worth

a roster spot.

 

I was shocked when we drafted Mayo, our 2nd lb in a draft with 5 picks, especially since the

team seemed pretty happy with Glanton.

 

Makes me wonder if there is an issue we don't know about, maybe locker room or off field.

​I wouldn't read into it too much, he was probably the BPA on their board at the time so they pulled the trigger.

I'd be surprised if they only kept 5 LBs to open the season. I think we went with 5 later in the season last year but that was because of injuries at LB and other positions. The last two years they have opened with 6 and they used to keep even more (8 in 2011, 7 in 2012; Hurney loved LBs).

I also think 11 DBs is high. They kept 10 in 2013 but that was the most in recent memory. Last year on D we opened with 9 Dline, 6 LB, and 9 DB. That's what I would expect if we only keep 24 on D again this year. Fox used to almost always go 26O/24D but Ron kept 25/25 his first 3 years. I can't remember a team that had more than 26O or one that had more than 25D.

In the two years with DG/RR we have kept 2/3QB, 10 OL, 5WR, 4 RB/FB, 4 TE, 5DE, 4DT, 6LB, 6/5 CB, and 4 S.

Cotchery was among the best #3s in the league with the Steelers the year before we signed him. Last year he was put in a position where he couldn't really succeed. He's a great locker room guy and would be better than most other team's #4s and there's nobody else that's better than him competing with him. Behind KB, Funch, Brown, and maybe Ginn/Bersin, I'm completely fine with him making the roster. It really doesn't hurt at all. Unless Hill can somehow learn to catch the ball in the next few months, then I agree with Jeremy's WR predictions.

I know it's been nothing splashy this offseason but I'm really excited about our safety group going forward.  

 

Would love to see Coleman excel here along with Jones still playing very well and this Marlowe kid contributing somehow.  Don't forget Boston now in his second year.  It's good stuff.

​Agreed.  The fact that we've got Jerricho Cotchery anywhere from our 4th to 6th option shows how far this receiving group has come. We've got a very good roster this season.

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Honestly, irrespective of Bryce, this is my hope for Canales. I hate hearing about him being a "QB whisperer." Because I don't give a rat's ass about him saving Bryce's career. Bryce either proves to be worth what we gave up for him, or it's next man up. I'm just excited to have a young, innovative offensive mind.
