Will the Real Kawaan Short Please Stand Up?

Recommended Posts

I feel like we don’t hear Kawaan Short’s name as much as we used to. A DT is not always going to have his name called out, but he was known as a pass rusher. So, I looked into stats to let the numbers talk. These are all average per game numbers.

2018 (8 games)

Tackles: 4.60 per game 

Assisted Tackles: 0.75 per game

Sacks: 0.25 per game

2017 (16 games)

Tackles: 3.06 per game

Assisted Tackles: 1.38 per game

Sacks: 0.47 per game

2016 (16 games)

Tackles: 3.44 per game

Assisted Tackles: 1.56 per game

Sacks: 0.38 per game

2015 (16 games)

Tackles: 3.44 per game

Assisted Tackles: 1.19 per game

Sacks: 0.69 per game

 

In Summary...Right now, based on the last three years, he’s about 133% in solo tackles...45-50% assisted tackles....35-65% sacks  

We really need his push, as our pass rush isn’t the best. So, what should we expect from him? What are your thoughts?

Good Points by PantherPhann89 and Doc Holiday. So I looked up Kyle Williams (who’s next to Star) stats to see how they changed. 

 

2018 (Average - 9 games)

Tackles - 1.78 per game 

Assisted - 0.56 per game

Sacks - 0.39 per game

2017 (Average - 16 games)

Tackles - 2.06 per game 

Assisted - 1.25 per game

Sacks - 0.19 per game

2016 (Average- 16 games)

Tackles - 4.0 per game 

Assisted - 1.38 per game

Sacks - 0.31 per game

 

So, not sure that it changes his stats too much, but Kyle Williams is not Kawaan, so...just some numbers to compare.

He has underperform. You cant tell me that a guy making 16m a year through 8 games can only get you 2 sack. Hes playing a position where “sack # means a damn lot. I dont see him making plays in the backfield. I see Kyle Love more than anymore in the interior of the line. 

That fact that you got a poop from someone other than me shows you what you know. I’m not arguing silliness

I think it's a combination of lack of edge rush and a drop in play from the other DT spot. Poe really hasn't made much of an impact and Butler is a rotational DT that doesn't add much in terms of pass rush. 

The DL just needs an infusion of talent and unfortunately that's not going to come this season.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
