Kyle Love: "People are giving Kawann a lot of crap about it."

“Really, the thing now is people are doing a lot of play action, a lot of seven-, eight-man protections," said Love, who was re-signed two weeks ago after being cut at the end of training camp. “People are giving Kawann a lot of crap about it. What they don’t realize is this man is getting double- and triple-teamed. You know what I mean?"

“Whenever a guy makes a lot of buzz in this league, the focus becomes on him," Love said. “A lot of times teams will do their protections just depending on one guy. When J.J. Watt's in the game, people do stuff around him.

“That’s kind of the situation here. People are doing a lot of things to kind of slow him down. To the unseen eye, they don’t really know. They just think he’s having a bad year."

Part of the blame should be going to those around Short. Defensive ends Charles Johnson and Kony Ealy don’t have a sack. Pass-rush specialist Mario Addison has only one.

“The guys that’s around [Short], we all have to come together," Love said. “When we get those one-on-ones we have to win."

“I don’t sense him being frustrated," Love said. “I know it can be frustrating. But he comes every day the same person. He works hard. He does the extra things. He’s going to continue to work because that’s the kind of guy he is."

As for the success Love has had, he shrugged that off.

“Ah, man, I’m just out there working hard," he said. “Trying to make something positive out of the situation. Nothing too major. I’m not too big into stats, sacks, tackles or whatever. The only thing that matters to me is W's."

Two things:

1) If you're asking for a top of the market contract then you need to produce regardless of how much the offense is scheming against you.

2) We've seen that Star is the one getting doubled a lot of the time.

He's really not playing that badly, but he's not close to the level expected of someone asking for the type of contract he is. Love might be our best DT right now.

JJ Watt gets doubled like every play and still produces. Ive never really thought it was an excuse.

double/triple teams on KK?  hahahahaha.  with the double on Star, that leaves Kony and CJ completely free to hit the QB, save a RB back to protect.  and it's not that anyone is giving him hell.  he asked for a lot of money.  more scrutiny comes with that.  people are waaaay too fuging sensitive.

What's most concerning for me is the fact that he and Star are getting pushed off the line like toddlers.

Which is what 2 people vs one will do. The hyperbole here is getting stale.

The issue is our DEs are innefective when the inside is getting attention like this

Lots of excuses. Triple team?

Give me a fugging break. 

All Love had to say is, "Hey, he's a great player. He's working really hard and the stats will come. I'm not worried about anything."

There: you support Short but don't make up excuses.

Leadership trickles down.

Excuses have become the identity of the 2016-17 Carolina Panthers.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
