If RR is concerned about Addison not being "big" enough to be an every down DE, then I'd say Jared needs to put on a few pounds...

I think that was just a nice way for Rivera to say Mario isn't "good" enough to be an every down DE. His only impact is rushing the passer...not the case with Allen (hopefully).

You're probably right about the MA deal, but at any rate, a NFL 4-3 DE should ideally weight more than 255 pounds

With that being said, I don't give a fug what he weighs as long as he can get pressure on the opposing QB.

What I was not expecting was how quickly Allen seems to have taken up the leadership and mentor role left vacant by Charles Johnson (now on IR). 

Allen was especially talkative and demonstrative with both Mario Addison and Wes Horton. Throughout practice, Allen would stop and chat or demonstrate a move of the hips or perhaps a hand movement. The little things that can turn an average defensive end into a good one. 

I was really hoping to see the name Kony Ealy in this paragraph. If Ealy has any sense he will get under Jared's wing and stay there as long  as possible.

Man I wish CJ didn't get hurt and we could have these 2 on the field at the same time right away.

Pop quiz hot shot....what happens if we never would have gotten him if CJ wasn't hurt.  Would you still NOT want CJ hurt?  well, WOULD YOU?!?!??!

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      Velocity MPH. Okay, that’s a number in isolation. what if CJ has a nice 85% effort motion that does what he is looking for? And Young has to step into things to get even 2 mph behind him?  I don’t KNOW that about either it is just an example of numbers don’t always tell all, but when I look at Young throw it reminds me of someone like Fran Tarkenton. A throwback non athletic weak armed scrambler for those of you who don’t remember. Had a great career in the old smaller slower but much meaner NFL. Would not today, IMO.  I think the arm strength questions, are plenty fair. And the eyeball test, it does mean something. Who would take Bryce Young over CJ Stroud or Richardson based on his arm? It is obvious to the naked eye where they stack up.

      Somehow win tonight and this series has a good chance to go 7 where anything can happen. will be an extremely tough test tonight though, probably the toughest game of the entire Rod era. Personally I'd go with Koochie but it'll prob be Freddie. Expecting a loss tonight so I don't get upset if it happens, but if we did somehow do the impossible and reverse sweep these fugers it'll be the happiest I've been about sports maybe ever (wasn't following the canes closely for our cup win otherwise that's obviously #1). Making the SB in '15 is up there right now but this could surpass that, especially if we can continue the run into the cup finals
