Big role for this kid tonight after just being signed up from the PS on September 30. UDFA rookie getting a chance to shine. He was a solid player in college with some flashes of greatness but injury hindered him throughout his college years. Has some solid pass rushing moves from the interior and a quick first step around the edge though he appeared to need a lot of work with his hand work. Maybe he's improved there a ton and that's why he's up for today. Excited as hell to see what he can do, though of course I do wish Butler wasn't a healthy scratch. We're going to need young talent at DE after this year badly so hopefully Cox can start to show that he has a future here along with redshirt Hall.

 

What are your realistic expectations for Cox today?

I anticipate he'll see roughly 20 snaps and pick up two tackles (one for loss) and a hurry. Lions OL isn't great so I see this as realistic. I mainly want to see consistency and discipline which was a huge problem with many of the other young ends we've had in here (Delaire, Lavar Edwards, Ealy, even Frank before he took Josh Gordon's route). Guys like Delaire and Edwards came out firing and hot with sacks but couldn't ever find consistency. I'd rather see Cox have some consistent push and no sacks than a sack or two but a disappearing act the rest of his snaps. Excited for this kid today.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      Not the biggest fan of PFF grades long but they made an interesting point on their commentary this week Bryce Young is presently per them one the worst “deep passers in the NFL” this year.   Which was the comeback narrative of being great at it.  But PFF deep is actually intermediate.  It’s 10 yards.   During his comeback he was able to get off those intermediate passes because of the big shift defenses went running man and blitzing.   where Bryce struggles the most to date is just being asked to stand in the pocket and throw into coverage.   And really struggles on top of that if folks start disguising stuff.  (This part is me….and his small stature and arm struggle facing that)  so I would expect people just don’t give him man.  Dial back the blitzing and just ask him to play into coverage with his arm.

      While I wanted Stroud I was ok with the Young pick. I didn’t judge. Not even his first year. No knee jerk reactions. Allowed time to watch him learn. It’s into year three and it’s time. He sucks. It’s true this franchise sucks too obviously with other players AND coaches doing much better after leaving.  Unfortunately it’s a severely dysfunctional franchise and the only thing that will save it is a true generational talent at QB that this inept FO actually lucks into picking or high priced elite vet if that is even possible who would come here over other places or Tepper selling or keeling over. Things that are just unlikely to happen.   The Panthers are literally the new age Browns.
