Me too.  I feel like getting CJ back made us think we could steal another season with our current DEs. I'm sure we thought Kony would take another step in his development and CJ would bounce back and be better. Instead, CJ is his same washed up self - the effort is there, but the ability isn't - and Ealy is just? Ealy is just WTF. I don't know who that guy was wearing his jersey in the Super Bowl, but that's the only real standout performance for an entire game that we've ever seen from him.

I believe CJ was meant to be a back up. It appeared the front office wanted to rely on Ealy and Delaire as the starting DEs with Addison and CJ as the back ups.

I believe the front office was forcing the coaches to play the young defensive players they had drafted instead of relying on veterans (Boston, Bene, Bradberry, Worley, Ealy, Delaire, and Butler). CJ was likely a consolation for the coaches and players since he was a captain.

If Rivera had Harper, Tillman, Finnegan, Allen, and Dwan Edwards, I am positive they would be getting more snaps than the younger players listed above.

Here is a great video that shows the value of a disruptive or dominant DE. This is from the Seattle playoff game last season.

The play is a designed TE screen. Jared Allen completely blows it up and forces Russell Wilson to stay in the pocket. The hesitation occurs and KK comes running free for the sack.

This was 90% Jared Allen, but KK gets the spotlight.

The DEs the Panthers have now, outside of CJ, would likely pursue down the line and never acknowledge the pulling OL thinking it is a run.

Jared Allen was a factor on several of KKs sacks last season.

The DEs must free up the DTs. The DTs must free up the LBs in a 4-3.

Dwight Freeney would have did great in CAR, great mentor to Ealy. Not sure if CJ is the best for Ealy. Maybe CAR can swing a deal for Cam Wake.

I'd put Ealy's ass on the bench. He's a total nonfactor. Maybe a benching will wake him up.

My only objection would be who the hell would stop the run then?

Ealy has been ass at pass rushing but he makes plays in the run game.

 

 

Guess that makes him a drafted version of Wes Horton though...

I love it how when people are underperforming and we can all see it, players and coaches alike are trying to convince us we know nothing about football.

A sack shows effort, ability, skill, relentlessness and desire. It's a measure by which worth is measured for a reason. That's why they gave Greg Hardy 13mill, he had the ability and desire and skill to get to the QB and be disruptive.

Peppers would have been a value trade like Allen was a guy nearing the end looking for a SuperBowl. After this offseason I'm convinced the Panthers front office isn't trying to reach the Super Bowl this year. The coaches and players take the blame because improvements and upgrades weren't allowed.

At least my Cajun filet biscuit is a more consistent product :-/

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
