Two months ago, that we would lose Kelvin Benjamin for the year, and be without Luke Kuechly for week 2, and that despite that we would still start the season at 2-0, I would have said that you were crazy!

Yet, here we are sitting at 2-0. It's a true testament to the metal and depth of our team. Sure, it's hindsight to say we have played ailing teams that don't appear to be too good, but we could be 0-2 and we're not!

 

Heres to keeping this thing going. Let's force the brown paper bags back out of the closet down in New Orleans!

Agreed on that. If there's one thing I like about all the complaints I'm seeing around the boards, even though we're 2-0, is that we're FINALLY at a point where we, as a fanbase, expect to win these games. Not too long ago, we were content with competing. Now we expect great things.

This is so true, in the past this team wouldn't have beaten teams they "SHOULD HAVE" beat and we would have been on this board making excuses about how we would be 2-0 if not for the injuries.  The depth that we have built is outstanding and only a few more positional units that could use an upgrade in the depth department.  If we can get the receivers settled this team could be one of the better teams in the league.  A few more drafts with Gettleman and the problems will more than likely be addressed, unless there is a physical specimen such as Shaq.  In which case we take that guy because you dont pass up a ball player for a need on a player that may or may not be what we need.

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.

      Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.

      Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
