We have 4 all pro players in our front 7 yet we should be not that excited? How about we worry about our Oline and just agree our defense is going to be nasty. 

I see what you're saying but with the way the pro bowl is voted on now it is ridiculous to consider the pro bowl anything worthwhile. If they were for all pros then that would be something to talk about

Has anyone heard anything about Haynes or is he tracking towards being JAG?

I got you this nugget bro- Moton gave him props. Said he took a step forward this off-season and would help him get better.

Edit to add: While I'm also excited about the potential of our defensive line,

you're being a little more optimistic about Butler than I think the situation warrants. Neither Poe nor KK was playing anywhere near a Pro Bowl level in 2018, and Star wasn't a Pro Bowl level player at any point during his time here. When given opportunities, Butler hasn't been a stand out. I don't think the Panthers picked up his fifth year option which speaks to their own internal appraisal. 

Butler has been a disappointment so far...but ya know...the changes on the D this year could be just what he needed.  Don't know that but why not be hopeful? Also..he is playing for a contract...had  to hurt not to have his option picked up.  There is some good vet leadership there to help him.

Anybody else wondering if Pep would've retired post off-season moves? 

Maybe I'm alone but I'm thinking he's definitely looking at that sack list and shaking his head at the potential.

Who know's, maybe he wanted to come back and we TD'd him so he respectfully bowed out...guess we'll never know.

Peppers works for the Panthers. He retired as a player and became part of management. I doubt we forced him out. At his age he was still our best rusher. I bet he didn't want to play in a 3-4. He did that in Green Bay  and always seemed to prefer the 4-3. It was his choice and he went out on his terms unfortunately without a Lombardi.

Yeah, he's playing for "a contract". He might be playing for his career. A former 1st round pick who has only recorded two sacks and 45 tackles in three seasons while missing 10 games? Not good.

I cannot remember where I saw it (I think Panthers.com maybe?) But it stated that Haynes was getting a lot of work with the 1s and 2s. Take it with a grain of salt but sounds pretty promising.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
