versus the Panthers last thursday night.

Rather than spend my afternoon pissing and moaning I decided to go back and look at how well our new DT played against us.

Here's what stuck out to me:

- Sacked Matt Moore on our FG drive putting us in 3rd and 24 all but eliminating a chance for a TD. He was unblocked on the play but showed good speed and the ability to tackle in the open field.

- On the same drive occupied two blockers and shed them to tackle Jamal Lee for a short gain.

- Consistently showed good push on running plays and was in the backfield often.

- He was playing DE in a 3-4 so he looked a little slow on passing downs but he should translate well to our scheme. Ran quite a few stunts and was a factor in all but one pass play that I saw.

- On our last offensive possession he blew up our O-line on one play and pushed the guard into our QB. Cantwell actually hit his hand on Harris' helmet and was noticeably in pain, I heard his hand hit Harris' helmet clearly.

- He also showed the ability to get vertical and try to block passes once he realized the QB was about to throw, came close to knocking down a couple of passes.

Overall this guy has good potential and the ability to help right away, in rotation. Granted he was playing against a lot of guys who are unemployed right now, but given our options I don't know that we could have done better. His only weakness seemed to be speed but as I said before we aren't going to line him up at DE and ask him to beat a tackle with speed. He did what we will ask him to do very well.

You may now return to freaking out.

okay apparently this guy was really good and all the steelers fans i know are confused as to why he was let go. they wanted him on their practice squad.

remember that last year's Defensive MVP started on the steelers practice squad so they know what they're doing.

regardless im going to start irrationally hyping this guy as the answers to all our prayers.

maybe you can be right this time

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
