Voth alluding to...something

@BlackBlueReview

It's going to be a news-filled day. Just getting started.

Well, be careful what you wish for. Next bit coming in about an hour. RT @panther1gb89: @BlackBlueReview love it!

Maybe news on Kuechly?

[dpm0409]

Damn...I hope it's good news.  Officially intrigued now.

Thomas Davis??

 

oh fug

Nah Man, get outta here with that!

[jdpanther5]

 

So is he gonna play, or go to the PS, I'm a little confused...

By rule, since we signed him from a practice squad, he has to stay on our 53-man for at least a couple weeks (can't remember the exact number).

Bill Voth has mastered the art of the overtly ominous tweet.

 

Good luck, Mr. Cole. It was fun while it lasted.

I thought he had to stay on the 53 or be sent back to Wash.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

 Looks great on the hoof with an NFL-caliber 3-4 outside linebacker build. Posted high-end production over two seasons at Towson with 32 tackles for loss, 22.5 sacks and five forced fumbles. Was able to play end in even front and outside linebacker in an odd front. Gains ground with his first three pass-rush steps. Sinks hips around the corner and uses well-timed rip to challenge the edge.

WEAKNESSES

 Lacks awareness at times. Gets fooled by playaction and spends too much time playing man in front of him rather than finding ball. Pass rush get-off stymied by noticeable false step at snap. Needs a pass-rush counter move. Played with inconsistent motor. Didn't play with desired passion when forced to chase play rather than having it come to him. Needs to improve angles to the ball when disengaging from blocker.

BOTTOM LINE

 Delaire could add weight and look to become a base end in a 4-3, but he flashed the athleticism and strength to warrant a look as an edge-setting 3-4 outside linebacker with explorable traits as a pass rusher. His NFL Scouting Combine and personal workouts might determine whether or not he is drafted.

Tampa didn't want him and the skins parked him on the PS. I wouldn't expect much from him any time soon.

Last guy we signed from Washington was Mario Addison. Just sayin. 

[TheRumGone]

Cole was a great pickup in 2013. Gave our youngins some great leadership and was a great rotational player. Hope he sticks around the org. Great dude.

[jdpanther5]

Ah, here we are: Delaire signed with Tampa after the draft and hung around there until final cuts. Dave loves bringing in guys from within the division, the bonus is that we actually play the Bucs this week. 

[Blackmagic]

Cole played well in the past, but he was passed by younger guys.

I'm scared about what Voth is alluding to.

[Dex]

The return of Steve Smith!
