I just watched the interview with Allen in the locker room, and man, he's a great dude.  Fits the culture and personality the Panthers try to have.  It's a shame they couldn't have gotten him years ago.  Can't think of a better team for him to finish off his career.  Hope he has some game left in the tank and sticks around a couple years.

His weight is a non-issue. He said in an interview that everyone thinks he lost weight because he was wearing LB pads which are smaller than DE pads. He is 255lb the same weight he has been for seven seasons.

I have always wanted this guy, he was an absolute terror for the Vikings for years at his natural position of DE, I think his best years are still ahead of him. Absolute steal from Chicago. This will go down as the best move ever by G-Man.

... The rest of our DEs are mostly pass rushers, CJ and Big Frank were the guys strong against the run.

Our defense is predicated on stopping the run and forcing 3rd and long where we have a myriad of looks and packages to fool the QB. If our run d suffers and we find ourselves in 3rd and short constantly, it could be bad.

 

Horton is primarily a run defender. Addison, on the other hand, is primarily a rush DE.

Not that either are great, but they are certainly part of the equation.

I know that Allen used to be a beast in all aspects of the game, but i havent watched him in a few years. How is his run defense?

CJ is stellar at run defense, and I hope that Allen can help hold the fort down for the next few weeks. The rest of our DEs are mostly pass rushers, CJ and Big Frank were the guys strong against the run.

From the games I watched last year so-so, but part of that was scheme as it looked like his responsibility was pass rush,  outside contain, run defense over the tackle/te in that order (trying to utilize his pass rushing skills against the play action I guess) even on non obvious passing situations. 

We can trust Rivera to get whatever is left in Allens tank out as he understands how to keep the dline fresh.

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)
