.Cox jr. And Obada probably weren't very excited about the McCoy signing because if for sure means 1 of them are gone.. 

Jmo looking at the scenarios..

Both are the least flexible to a multiple scheme front on the roster..  (Both being 43 DE) who aren't fast or flexible enough to switch to OLB in a 3/4 .. Both aren't really big enough to get alot of snaps at 3/4 DE..

The trend I noticed is everybody is mentioning Marquise Hanyes  when talking about this defense. .. Marquise is poping up in every interview.. Could he be the under the radar guy who shines out of no where? While Cox and Obada fight for the last front 7 roster spot?

I think Cox stays if it's between the two of them. Gonna be some stiff competition. Gonna really get the blood flowing. Hardest camp battle to date. Cox really wants to be a member of the Carolina Panthers.

A tough battle indeed.  Do you think Cox size is an advantage or disadvantage?

I guess that depends. Penetrating tight gaps as a girthy boi can be tough.

Great point.  I just hope if Cox goes down, he can get back up.  Cox has a history of getting licked.  It's like Cox loves taking a beating.

I'd be willing to bet McCoy's signing didn't arouse Cox one bit.

Wouldn't surprise me if he was swollen with rage.

 

 

Although I do believe he'll be playing an OLB and not a DE.

At this point, all three Cox, Obada and Haynes better really, really want to be Panthers or they'll have no shot of making it through to the first game of the season. There are a lot of moving parts to this defense (and the offense, too) and suddenly there are more name players than in previous years. 

These guys aren't just fighting for a spot to be rotational guys, but to even have a jersey and a locker space. Perhaps even an NFL career at this point. If that doesn't motivate at least one of them to perform way over and beyond previous years, then we simply don't have room for them.

Right now they should be living in the weight room, watching film, getting speed training and learning special teams just to have a shot.

I'm sure Cox is stiff with fear.  Cox better bone up on OLB technique.  With any luck, we'll see Cox coming in the backfield.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
