Thoughts?

[Mr. Scot]

Are you using a 3-4 alignment for your defensive projections?

Pretty much. Although with Addison and Burns they could certainly play a 4-3 or hybrid from time to time. I do believe the 3-4 will be their most common look. Even the Panthers roster on their webpage alludes to that with the "OLB/DE" designation for the first time.

You've got Burns mentioned twice in your Edge list.

Did you intend another name or do you have an extra roster spot now?

He is fast enough to play both spots at once.

Meant Bryan Cox.

No Obada right when we go to London?

And 6 WRs

[bababoey]

Now we can rush Burns from both ends at the same time.  No one will stop this pass rush ever.

Yeah Obada was the notable missing player at my first glance.

I think Cox beats him out. With the Burns and Miller additions they don't need another speed guy

[MasterAwesome]

I’ve gotta believe Obada is in their plans...maybe instead of Torrey Smith? Hopefully? Or Godwin starting off on the Practice Squad. Obada is one of our few prototypical 4-3 DEs, so if he’s gone, then our D seems like it’s transitioning completely into a base 3-4 instead of a hybrid.

I also think the Panthers are high on Seymour at CB, so I’d predict him to make the roster over Doss who we’ve kept on the Practice Squad for extended periods of time and outright cut at least once.

Fair enough. Just sucking the air out of that storyline seems ill timed. Not saying that the storyline is more important than the actual play on the field...but, from a business perspective, him being on the field that day against TB could mean quite a bit in revenue and then maybe someone gets activated from temp IR? I'm just saying, it's not super farfetched.

But yes, I'd like the best talent on the field each and every game.
