So what now with the safeties...

What we know...

 

FS and SS are often interchangeable in the Panthers scheme. All players can play either.

 

Adams and Coleman are probably the best starting tandem we have seen in a long while.

 

Colin Jones in the game at safety is not desirable.

 

Sean Marlowe is well thought of but often injured and unproven.

 

The Panthers have a couple other young guys. Not much is known.

 

Brian Blechen is now listed as a safety. Last year he was a linebacker. He filled in as emergency safety last preseason and actually looked pretty good. He played SS in college.

 

So , overall are we in better shape or worse shape than last season?

What I know is that we've been wanting better safeties since 2007. I even wanted Michael Griffin that year and unfortunately, got that wish granted way too late.

Basically, the answer to the safety position has usually been not on our roster. May end up going that route again.

I'd say better than last year, just because we have Mike Adams now. He's an upgrade on the defense, and remember that Tre Boston was a starter before. 

Could we use depth? Sure, but better than last year by a small margin.

      Big changes coming

      By strato · Posted

      OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.

      When Kenny Pickett's arm looks noticably zippier than your starting QB you know problems are ahead.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      Correction, meant to say Seattle had a limited passing attack in the SB.  Darnold did do enough to win.
