Coples visiting, taking physical

I think Coples eventually gets done. He, and Gettleman both, are probably wanting to kick the tires on other options as they should.

 

Would love to come out of FA with Coples and another DE (Mario Williams or similar signing) AND draft one high. Hopefully Cotchery gets in Mario's ear about how great playing for the Panthers is, and how he should take a little less money to chase a SB.

If we don't sign him, I feel confident that there is a good reason.

When RR was talking about coples, he referred to him as DT. Coples on the outside is the reason he's been cut twice(drafted team and former jets GM)within 3 months. Could he lose a few LBs, work very hard and maybe be a OK 4-3 DE......but not like a human freak super Mario ala peppers. He could play DE on goal-line/short yard packages, other-wise he better play inside or get use to sitting on the couch.

Thank you for confirming what I was saying. RR refers to QC as a DT. If QC sees himself as a DE (since he is 6'6" 290 lbs, same as Mario Williams, and played last year as an OLB), that can be a reason why the deal wasn't done yesterday. Disagreement about where the Panthers want him to line up and where QC wants to line up is a legit reason why he wouldn't join the team.

I remember RRs 2012 press conference, he stated they viewed coples as a DT. All the DE ala CJ replacement comments are pointless. If he & agent want that DE money, they better be worried about even being on a 53 man roster. I stated in a different reply, when your drafted team cuts you mid season, then a couple months later the GM that drafted you cuts you too..... Well that's a issue, big issue.

Beating OGs\Cs is muuuuch easier than OTs, especially given coples skill set.

And that's for him to find out. It's his first shot at free agency, since he was claimed off waivers by Miami. Let him find out what his market is, and if he decides Carolina is the best place for him position-wise and price-wise, let him join the team. But if he wants everything his way, on his terms, and for his price, he can gtfo

CJ is a shell of his former self and is only getting older, and slower.  Might as well cut bait there.

Seems like Coples would be a 3-4 million per year guy for 2 year contract playing situationally in both DE and DT packages.

Also, on a side note, not sure Star will be given a serious contract at the end of coming season.  I expect us to draft a DT with the value they hold in this years draft.

DE

CB

DT

S

 

I expect one of each to be taken

I think DG and Ron want Coples to play a DT/DE rotation. Coples may just want to play at DE exclusively...

DG might double dip on the DL in the 1st and 2nd round of the draft...I think he might target Dobb and Chris Jones out of Miss. And then grab Clark from Texas Tech in the 3rd if he falls or he could trade up for him.

If we do end up with Chris Jones, I hope the Huddle will be kind to him and forget the Combine.  Poor guy!

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
