I don't think Allen has given up, he's just *bad*

Luke may be trying, but he doesn't look particularly good.  Seeing more of Shaq than Luke the last few weeks.  Teams definitely scheming to take Luke out of the game entirely.

Luke doesn't look good because he has to shed 1, if not 2 blockers, most run plays because the gap control by our Dline is miserable outside of McCoy. We took a gamble with the 3-4 switch that Poe would be very good and McCoy and KK would stay healthy. Even with those 3 out there, our run D was average at best. Now, I'm pretty sure a 12 year old kid in a wheelchair could get 5 yards a carry against us.

yeah, he's just not leading the league as a different poster said.

imo, he's been great in pass defense as per usual but his rush defense... he just looks out of place... maybe that is just the entire D though.  hard to judge that.

I think it’s a whole D thing for sure. He’s also had a few opportunities at INT and come up short. I think we are all used to him bringing in a few and even converting one or so into pick 6’s each year. So it appears as though he’s lost a step but I would hope it’s just a product of a horrible defense as a whole.

It’s the byproduct of a porous 3-4, not Luke’s fault. 

The "new" defense was sketchy from the start of the season. On paper, the players looked to be at least equivalent to last year. It was either a bad scheme or it didn't get installed correctly.

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
