This was on the interior DLine. The whole Defense is not devoid of talent!

You keep Luke, guys on rookie deals, and KK that's about it. You ask McCoy politely to sign a team friendly deal but don't be upset when he gets a better deal elsewhere lord knows that man has earned it. 

Before I thought we would keep one of Shaq or Bradberry now I think both might be gone. 

 

We're in for a hard reboot and a rough year next year boys 

i think it'll feel better to be trying to build something than to try to go through having some kind of 'hope' in ronco again

Ive been advocating for coaching changes for 2+ seasons now so I'm totally fine with that

dontari poe didnt play today and we gave up 250 yards to one of the worst offenses in the league. every player you said was average or good was on the field... there were also there with poe the other games where the run defense sucked. doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me!

Poe is average.  Stacey McGee isn't.  Stuff like that matters. 

Plus, it wasn't just not having Poe.  McCoy was playing on one leg.  Butler got banged up.  And it goes back to losing KK before all that. 

We have talent issues at fundamental aspects on both lines.  It doesn't matter what you WR, RB, LB,  DB situation is.  They are going to fail when you implode upfront.

Whole thing is alot of people want to replace the whole team, some of wich are players that arent easy to find and should be paid when what has to be done is to fix the interior pf both lines. I personally don't want to go pre Bradberry again, it took awhile to find him and we got lucky he played as well as he did as early, corners are a gamble coming to the nfl. Ive also got news, we let go of TD so shaq could start ik pretty sure they are gonna pay him as this team values its ilb core and hes not gonna be easy to replace either.

I'm on the fence about Reid and Jackson.

Everyone saying Poe hasn't panned out... we just gave up 250 yards rushing to one of the worst running teams in the league.  Guess who wasn't playing?  Long story short, do we really know it's Poe, or is it piss poor play calling and scheme?

Boston has been the best player on the defense.

Kuechly has underperformed.  I think a good bit of that has to do with scheme, but let's be real... he's out of position frequently, and misses too many tackles.  At least some blame has to be placed on him.

The batch of mid-talent DE/LBs we have are just that.  Middle of the pack talent, great for rotating guys out.  I don't expect four different guys to have 10+ sacks.

 

Long story short, this scheme is antiquated, the playcalling is all wrong, and they're getting butchered on the field.  All other things aside, I agree with you.  Talent is not the problem on this defense.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
