Legitimate question for anyone who remembers: How did Lou Young do in the preseason?  I vaguely remember hearing some good things about him but IIRC, he also gave up some big plays in the preseason too, though.  Could be wrong

Would think the biggest thing about bringing in someone from the outside this late would be their familiarity with the system.  I am surprised there seems to be no interest in bringing back Melvin White.  He played reasonably well.

It's going to be very interesting... I know/hope they don't expect to stop Seattle and Arizona between the hashes with Finnegan. Especially as good as Seattle is at throwing up the seams. Maybe a lot more PT for Shaq? If he plays physical on slot receivers he could disrupt them on the line and give our pass rush plenty of time. Coleman is going to have to keep balling out of control.

We put a safety or LB on the slot receiver and Arizona/Seattle will torch us.

I wonder if Tre Boston will see more playing time with Bene out and especially of we play teams that spread their WR's out.  And Seattle definitely is doing that more it seems the last few games just like AZ.  Boston would inject some more speed and coverage ability in the secondary, even if he's not as good in run support as Harper.  Shaq may some increase- he has the speed to cover TE's in the slot and in tight to the line, but the Panthers like all teams usually put a safety on a TE out wide (of course Harper covering Graham was a disaster), so I don't know that it will be a huge increase for Shaq.

The Finnegan signing is becoming huge right now- hopefully he can play well down the stretch b/c he's going to get a lot of PT.  Still have to do something at CB.  Teddy Williams may be good as ST but I hope we're not planning to depend on him to cover Michael Floyd or John Brown.

Regardless of anything, the pass rush is going to go a long way to determining how far we go in the playoffs.  The pass rush was getting constant pressure yesterday even when we didn't get sacks.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
