Fewell talks about the secondary

Fingers crossed, but honestly we will just need solid, not spectacular out of our secondary. Of course that is if the front is like we hope it is. 

What makes the front line effective is tight coverage off the line so there aren't 3 wide open guys available right after the snap for an easy pitch and catch for 5 yards. You need good coverage in the secondary and hard hitting safeties to bust things up. Sure they don't have to be Richard Sherman good but the secondary in Seattle for example is what made their D line so effective. I think it takes both to really dominate which is what I hope we do this year.

I agree. Quick pressure and tight coverage will disrupt most teams passing game. Love the direction. If it works, we're going deep in the playoffs.

If this offseason is any indication, this may be the most aggressive Panthers team we have seen in quite a while. I think jobs are on the line and they should be. With that said, pressing receivers and an array of blitzes could be the forecast and if we have a physical secondary, our defense can be legit.

So when he was the defensive coordinator of the Giants in 2015 he advocated a bend don't break defense with soft zone coverage giving up the underneath route. I think that was a major reason he got fired as it felt like death by a thousand cuts.  I wonder what he has learned from that or is that his system and what we will run.

I had posted this in another topic but I am really hoping that Fewell is the MVP this spring of our team. Hopefully can make some strides with the younger guys like Gualden, Corn, and Seymour.  If they can step up it will pay huge benefits.  I’m also hoping he can take both Bradberry and Jackson to very good if not elite levels.  Yeah it’s June, but we have been missing a quality DB coach since Wilkes left.  

With our front 7 and an improved secondary we could definitely have a top 5 defense.

Very excited to see what Fewell can do with our secondary. Reminds me of Wilks, but has an even deeper body of knowledge. 

I didn't even know we had him. I'm so out of the loop this offseason. We've quietly acquired a lot of Name Brand guys on our coaching staff the last couple of years. I really like the knowledge he brings to the table.

    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
