How much better is Polamalu than Chris Harris/ Godfrey? Scale of 1 to 10? Reason I made this thread is because there is a noticeable difference to Pittsburgh's defense now that Polamalu is out. I am wondering if we were to upgrade lets just say the SS/FS position would we look as good as Pittsburgh's defense looks?

Please no mention of Peppers and salary caps. I know Polamalu's and Ed Reeds don't grow on trees I am thinking maybe thats the missing component of our defense. I know we need DT's, but everyone else seems to get by with whomever they put at DT. Look at Tennesse's front four.

Polamalu/Ed Reed are a 10 btw. I can't think of any 1's to mention as the bottom of the scale.

I think Chris Harris is a 6 and Godfrey a 5.

based on the first quarter, Polamalu is a 20.

But add in the fact he is always getting injured, stupid personal fouls and bad hair and it brings him back down to a 12.

Last year Chris was a solid 7 or even 8. Preseason he was a 4.

That is about as subjective as I can get.

dude it is not even close. Polamalu is head and shoulders above any safety we have or have ever had on our roster. The thing about our safeties is that if they make a big play it is surprising. For Polamalu it doesn't surprise you for him to make a big play ANYWHERE on the field....in the backfield with a sack or tackle for a loss....a tackle up the middle at the line of scrimmage....an interception at the linebacker level...and interception on a top tier WR...etc...it doesn't surprise you because he is wherever the ball is. We don't have a safety like that. or anywhere near it.

Not even remotely a conversation. We drop our guys in zones typically. He is forced into one on one coverage due to blitz (which is why pitts d is so good) What your noticing is pitts backing off of blitzing, possibly because hairdo is out. Although they are dialing it up a notch here late.

Harris is a 5. terrible against pass great against run

Godfrey 3. Still learning

Hairdo 10 Has a complete game and could be the best FOOTBALL player in the NFL.

He takes the best angles to the ball carrier I think I have ever seen.

      Miserable in all phases of the game

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I know its Payton but he knows football...Dipper ran him off when we had a chance...we need people like this that can evaluate talent.... 'Nix was selected by the Denver Broncos in the first round (12th overall) of the 2024 NFL draft.[33] Nix initially drew the interest of Broncos head coach Sean Payton due to his high completion rate and low negative play differential in college, in addition to an impressive performance in private workouts'. Pretty simple... I bet he threw for coach too.

      If they trade Dowdle…

      By hepcat · Posted

      I swear I’ve seen the writing on the wall since Chuba come back that Dowdle is going to be traded. He is flat out a harder and faster runner than Hubbard and made the offense move better than Chuba, gained more yards per carry and willed the Panthers to victory with two massive performances. But for some inane reason, the coaching staff hasn’t let Dowdle continue his hot streak. There have been trade rumors and I feel like if the Panthers get a mid round pick in return the Panthers will take it. They drafted Etienne and Hubbard is on a big contract. It makes no sense, he’s looked better than any other Panthers player on the offense this year, but he’s not getting playing time with Hubbard back and it seems he’s being shopped for trade.  This team is just infuriating sometimes and it’s no secret why every year they seem to struggle.

      How dumb is Canales?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      1) The decision to try to trot the FG team on the field to kick a field goal before halftime was completely ridiculous. You are down 16. The offense can come back to the line faster just line up and take another shot.    2) Whatever in the hell this Rico/Chuba thing is sucks. Everyone from the huddle to the media to random other fans on X are in disbelief. Chuba either isn’t what we thought he was or he has lost a step. I’m almost positive the FO doesn’t want to look stupid for paying him and / or Canales doesn’t have the courage to tell him he’s number 2.
