I wonder what the word is on Cox, Miley and Delaire after our poor DE performance on Thursday night.

Spent a few mins with DE coach Eric Washington. Notable: He’s not nearly as down on Delaire after 1 game as we’d perhaps assume. (1/2)

Delaire was a hot mess in every situation. I mean he got beaten repeatedly. Dude mayas well have had handcuffs on. The rose-colored glasses regarding him are off. 

Addison was never as bad.

I am not going to get my hopes up on bad back Cox until I hear something that's decidedly positive. Until then, he is ghost (as they say).

Miley is our only imaginary future impact  end at the moment. Until then our DE depth is comprised of an elite speed rusher and an on-again-off-again place filler. 

Edit: Oh, and in case you think I forgot about Ray Drew, well he likely won't be here, or if he is it will be on the PS.

Unless Drew has dropped a lot of weight, I don't see him at DE anyway.

He's listed as a DT on the official Panther's roster and also listed at 315 lbs.  That's a 3-4 DE, but that's also a 4-3 DT.

Uhhh, yes, Addison has been that bad. I suggest you watch him when he first got here. He got his ass spanked several times. Furthermore, he was on Washington's practice squad for a reason. Let's not get selective memory now for the sake of hyperbole.

It's not like there is vid around on Addison, but regardless, he has a speed rush now with the best of them.  When Addison arrived here, I just don't remember him consistently losing containment because of inability to get off the block. The QB wasn't going to run away from Addison. Delaire was getting manhandled. He ended up seriously out of position a few times, and even on the ground a couple of times as I recall (but maybe that was some other lineman with dreads). Nothing went right that I saw, except that one pressure led by Crume (or whatever his name is). Delaire looked like a little brother taking a bullying from his big brother on multiple plays. It was somewhat disconcerting to see a man of that size get beat so easily. That is not hyperbole. It's real.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
