Doesn't matter when the front 7 completely shuts down the run game, gives the QB no time to throw, Luke/TD are roaming in the middle and Norman has the #1 WR locked down. 

Get Kuechly/Star healthy and they can stick a Huddler at FS.

The qb had no time? What game were you watching?

A game without Lotulelei & Kuechly. The premise of that conversation is that even with those two back we aren't elite. Which is absurd. We held Jax to 9 points with a top 5 DT & arguably the best defensive player in the league on the sideline. 

Stick Kuechly in the middle of the field and Lotulelei clogging up the middle and it's a different ballgame. They were double teaming Johnson. Try that with Star/KK beside him and 330+ pounds is gonna be slamming your QB into the ground. 

 

Yes, I'm saying that even with Star and Kuechly, we have major holes at safety and defensive end. We are top 15. Maybe even to ten, but we are not an elite defense from what I saw today.

Awful is a very strong word to describe our safeties. I would describe them as average. When you get absolutely no pressure on the QB until the 4th quarter, they will definitely look average. But with a healthy Luke and Star, the front 7 should run in perfect harmony allowing our DB's to feast on shitty throws.

As many missed tackles and coverages they had today, I would say they looked awful. It was brutal.

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
