Is Mario Addison the Panthers best DE?


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

He's our best pass rushing and speed DE. He leads the teams with sacks.

Now, question is if he can play with pure power in the run game, which is why I can see the coaches only using him situationally.

But he better be resigned. Also, @Jeremy Igo you doing coaches film this week? Would like to see how some plays went and gone, whatever opportunities were missed, and how our corners did overall.

Ealy you still keep because hes under a cheap rookie contract  for 1 more year even if hes just a 4th string guy.  If you can get CJ back cheap, you get him because you need a vet.  If Addison can get a reasonable deal done get him.  Need 4 DEs so 1 FA 1 draft.  FA class is pretty weak for 4-3 DE.   only other reasonable cheaper guy I like is Alex Okafor for Arizona

Keep Horton for run support. He's honestly really good at that area from what I'm seeing. I think the DE position issue isn't as bad as everyone thought it'd be.

Your still going to need to get 1 or 2.  Ealy, doubt we wont keep after his rookie contact end after next year.   CJ even if re signed doubt has 2 years left in him.  

Need to draft 1 to groom for when these guys leave can step right in.  And a FA weather it be Addison or another guy.

Though we have tons of players that are better, career wise, he has been a top 5 player on our team, THIS YEAR.

Short, Cam, Kuechly, Davis, Olsen, Funchess, Shaq, etc.

He has been consistently good. Only other consistently good I can think of, off the top of my head is Olsen.

Our stars have been hurt or inconsistent, for sure.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
