While I am all in supporting Ealy, the Panther who is set to have the breakout season at DE is......

 

.....Mario Addison. 

With Ealy still developing, and i question that he will ever become a starting DE with 10 sacks per season, I still feel good about Addison and Alexander.

That is not to say that we don't need Ealy, but it is to say that we have potential options.

Didn't you leave someone out?

I don't know whether it was just a simple oversight, or perhaps a Freudian slip, but your negation of Frank Alexander may mean something. 

I think he's just saying that Mario and CJ will be the starters. By all indications Frank is coming along very well and could challenge for the starting spot, but it seems Mario has improved enough to have a leg up on him for now.

i am honestly not at all worried about our DE rotation. nor our DT rotation. even with KK and Star out, i think our defensive line is formidable enough to help us win games. 

glad to hear Ealy is doing better.

Everyone keeps freaking out about Oher, but he just seems streaky to me. he is taking turns having bad and good practices. still want to give him more time before i call for a replacement. though, with Williams starting at LT today and doing quite well, i wonder if maybe the winds of change are blowing...

This is a write-up on Kony's weaknesses before last years' draft:

"Fires off the snap upright and is vulnerable to cut blocks. Much more effective pass rusher than run defender. Has been surrounded by a lot of talent at Missouri and may struggle early in the NFL if asked to be a savior."

This tells me Kony was going to need a couple of years to develop into a full-time starter, so as long as the coaches are happy with his progress, I'm not complaining, especially since it looks like we'll have a very good rotation of Big $$, Big Frank, Mario, and Kony where all of them have the talent to deserve a share of the snaps.

Ppl say they aren't worried about our dline at all, but We got gashed quite a bit last year on the ground. Dwan is only on the decline and frankly, CJ is as well. So we need Short and Star to get healthy asap. I am excited about what Mario might be bringing this year, but Frank and Kony need to up their play also.

CJ on the decline?  Please elaborate.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
