Returning to form" is going to be a theme this year. 

Agree about that.

Not only D-line (and defense as a whole)

But also...

Cam

Greg

Trai

Paradis

If those guys DO return to much of their best form, and the young guys like Samuel, Moore, Burns, Little and D-Jack live up to potential...

and Luke and CMC are their amazing selves...  Watch out NFL!

The front 7 on this team at this moment in time is probably one of the top 10 in NFL history based on talent.  Production is going to be the big question...

I think we have a chance to be a very good front 7 but top 10 in NFL history??? That is nuts.

Both will basically be DE's now, soooo...

GOAT DT rotation in Panthers history so far was Jenkins/Buckner/Burton/Moorehead.

The whole line in 2003 was probably our best ever.

That said, our line this year could rival that.

3-4 DE.....which is a whole lot more like a DT than a 4-3 DE. But like the Rams did you can run a 3 man front without changing to a traditional 3-4 roles along the line. There was a lot of talk about this from the Rams last year in how Donald was used.

Some folks think anytime the Panthers sign a FA with household name recognition it translates into a Super Bowl.  I realize big-time FA signings are very rare around here, kinda like winning the lottery, but the expectations should be tamped down a bit at least until a real game is played this fall.

Gerald McCoy's sacks been in decline each of the past few years. 

This concern you guys for a 31 yr old vegan? 

They've been steady the past two years and his QB hits are up. What numbers are you looking at?

I don't think it is at all.  I think this front 7 is substantially better than the 03 superbowl team, and that front 7 is regularly considered one of the best of all time.

No his sacks have been pretty stable. At least 6 for 6 straight years.  If they'd declined from like 9 to 3 I'd be concerned, but if he adds 5 or 6 we're good.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
