Panthers PFF Grades - Defense

i think the problem with Ealy is his motor. the guy seems to give up on plays for example that td run. remember he was having difficulties in training camp last year because of being of his conditioning.

Is Ealy better suited as a LDE? Could this CJ injury push Ealy to that side while Allen takes over the RDE?

I saw somewhere, and can't remember where for the life of me now, that the plan may very well be for Allen to take over the RDE, and Ealy will slide to the left.  It makes sense, considering that's where Allen has been his whole career.

people also forget johnson was drafted in the 3rd and hardy in the 6th fuggin round(still surprised every-time i mention that). Ealy was drafted in the 2nd, projected 1st rounder.......again time is fine but he should have been showing flashes by now if not his first year. the fact that we have played bad teams doesn't help either,the competition gets tougher real soon

Putting Ealy on the Left side might be good for him.  Let us pray..
