What would help our pass rush more than anything is Short actually being in that race. He's paid to be a disruptive force but he played like a JAG last year. That Pro Bowl appearance was a joke.

He had 1 off year

But not going to fault him for it.

 

Was his only "Bad" season since being here

 

And dont use the, he got payed so his effort dropped excuse.  He was one of the top Interior DL in the league the season after he signed the big deal

Sorry man, he's had two back to back dud seasons. One more and he's a cap casualty. He has 5 sacks in the last two seasons combined while being paid like an elite pass rushing three technique. Time for him to start playing like it or time for us to free up a bunch of cap space and find someone else.

Back to back

You do realize

2 season ago he was among the top interior DL in the whole league.  Including More Sacks And TFL than the Fletcher Cox's

 

People automatically think he had a bad year 2 seasons ago because his year last season and the play around him.  Without going back and looking at sacks and film

I accidently looked at his stats backwards looking at his first two seasons instead of his last two. That's what happens when you're running off of 3 hours of sleep. 

Two years ago he had 7.5 sacks. That's solid. Not game changing, but solid. We paid him based off of his 11 sack season during his contract year. Right now, that 11 sack season is looking like an anomaly. It's looking like we paid a good player like an elite player. I just hope he gets back to being "good" this year.

Not really

Again, it Very rare to see interior DL put up 11+ sacks on a consistent basis.

KK is getting paid Less than Cox but atill put better numbers.  And the other top tier (minus Donald) Interior guys that are getting paid that "elite" $$$.  He is on par if not producing better than some of them.

It's not just about sacks either. The guy was getting completely washed put of the play routinely by single blockers. He was a JAG all the way around.

Washed out? 

As in he still was getting into the backfield and more TFL than the Cox's who are getting paid more than him?

A lot of these other guys dont have a Luke either.  That is a heat seeking missle shooting through and gobbling up those TFL's which KK taking on those blockers and letting Luke get through untouched.  Doesnt get the credit that is due

Hard to make too much of last year when the whole DLine regressed.  Washington focusing on the line this year should give us a better performance and more pressure. Short had an off year in 2018 but who didn't.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
