Defensive end rotation.....pass rush weak sauce

It appears that our DE combination is not what  we where all hoping for. R.R made it quite clear during camp that no one was standing out to take the starting job. Ealy looks lost and Alexander is nothing special. Horton lacks pass rushing skills. Addison is the only guy that has shown speed and ability to get to the QB, but is lacking in stopping the run and sealing the edge.

Without C.J on the other end, these guys are average or below average at best. Maybe a little K.K in the mix would help. He has proven to be a beast when rotated in as DE on occasion.  Hopefully Star will heal and be back strong. That leaves either Cole or Edwards to do the job if they need to move K.K around and fill the void at DE. I know it's only the first preseason game, but taking the camp and this as a whole.....not impressed

Yeah the DL, like the OL, is only as strong as its weakest link. Adding stronger, better players at DT should improve overall play of both RDE and LDE. I'm reserving judgment for now. Hopefully the third game we get to see Star and KK for a few downs and get a taste.

If it makes anyone feel better about Ealy, Justin Britt who some felt would have been a better choice in hindsight, looked like complete @$$ for the Seahawks.  It was olly olly oxen free for the Denver DL in total domination over the Seahawks.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
