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.

      In general, It's just unfortunate that he got hurt. But...I'd argue that all's well that ends well; the Panthers are in a better place in regards to the RB room, and, not only has CMC had the opportunity to almost win his team a championship in overtime of the Super Bowl, he's playing for a franchise known for solidity if not historical excellence.

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
