On paper is this the best roster we've ever assembled?

A top 7 QB with a decent oline, deadly speed in Samuel and CMC, a great TE, and two Wrs that are bigger than any corner that will cover them all year.

 

In defense we have two potential Hall of Famer linebackers, a HOF Defensive End, and young corners who don't completely suck. I don't think we've ever had a roster this talented in May. Thus every Superbowl run we've ever been on has been a complete surprise to everybody. Baring injury this team should certainly compete for a Super Bowl. Gonna be a fun year with Tampa also improving.

Overall, this is our best roster. This will be one of our top defenses, but definitely not number 1. Our offense could be the best we've ever assembled in all honesty, but that depends on rookie play.

A good breakdown:

Defense:

Defensive Ends: Our DEs currently consist of one of the most solid rotations in the NFL. Addison is an emerging double digit sack monster threat, CJ still provides solid pressure, and Peppers is showing no signs of slowing down. Horton's a solid run stuffer, and Hall is a great situational guy learning and growing behind these vets. 

Defensive Tackles: Kawann Short and Vernon Butler make up our pass rushing rotation, with Kyle Love and Star Lotulelei making up our stuffers. All could be starters for other teams. Solid rotation.

Linebackers: Best group in the NFL. Nearly all our backups could have better and possible starting roles for other teams. Our starters are All-Pro level good.

Corners: Solid group. Munnerlyn is an elite blitzer and quality nickel. Bradberry is an emerging shut down corner, and Worley showed up and is looking to be a legit #2. Corn Elder is a steal who will be solid in situational football, and a backup to Munnerlyn.

Safeties: FS Kurt Coleman is back to his 2015 position as a ballhawk, and he should provide very high quality play. SS Mike Adams is our better version of Harper, and with quality play to boot. A leader in the secondary that we need.

Offense:

QB: Cam Newton. MVP of 2015, now with a healthy o-line and some shiny new weapons. I think he'll do fine.

WRs: Tremendous upgrade with Samuel. Changes our outlook on everything. He has shown against some of the best college corners amazing play, and a legit speed threat. Very reliable with a very low 3.2% drop rate. Kelvin Benjamin should be fully healthy now, Funchess should now be able to prove himself, and Russell Shepard is a sleeper who could prove to be tremendous.

OTs: Our RT slot is fine. Williams should start, and he has shown he is a competent tackle after shutting down Vic Beasley twice. LT is a big "if", and that's with Matt Kalil's uncertainty. Even so, Oher could be well enough to fill in if Kalil disappoints, and Moton can back both tackle positions.

OGs: We got some of the best starters in Trai and Norwell, and solid depth. We're good

C: Ryan Kalil is an All-Pro C. Tyler Larsen isn't half bad as a starter, and Gino is decent. We're fine here.

RBs: Stewart and McCaffrey are going to be deadly. Cam Newton can still run as well, and Samuel could come in on certain looks as a runner too. We're set.

FB: Armah is 6 foot 2 253 lbs. Young has experience. Anyone we have here is an upgrade over fat-dozer.

TEs: All-Pro TE in Greg Olsen, everyone else is a question mark. Guess this might be the other uncertain position on our offense.

I'm hoping we can get more "sacks" this upcoming season elsewhere other than our DTs, LBs, S, and CBs. Cough cough...defensive ends.

We didn't sign Peppers to just sit and watch. There's a reason he's only had one year below 7 sacks, and that was when he was injured with us.

Tape from last year shows a situational pass rusher who hasn't slowed down much at all.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
