Panthers workout DT's

I think the plug in a scrub comes from Meeks, he was known for plugging in udfa's everywhere on the colts D and he really didnt value DT's very much. We have two defensive coaches and we are really struggling there this year, but on the other hand this is the first year of his system. We have some injury problems at DT and Chris Harris this year and Diggs is showing his age. Meeks system is extremely flawed in that it doesnt defend against screen passes very well and the run since all lineman are constantly pass rushing. It killed the Colts the past couple years and its going to continue to hurt us.

We should get Shaun Smith by the bye week. We need help too much to ignore his talent. The "good guy" thing needs an exception here.

Doubt it. Troubled, $$$$. RT @Rellokid: Do you think the panthers will go after DT Shaun Smith after he's finished serving his suspension?

:iagree: with gantt on this one

Fox is a joke. He thinks we can plug in any unkown scrub and our problems will be solved.

he also thinks addressing the problem with pressure is just telling the same group.....we will continue with the status quo you just need to do better. That's his coaching for you. Change in scheme or play calling? Nah, our scrub DL and just needs to execute better.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
