Rebuild the offense this year

With the departure of Luke our defense will have many holes. Way more than the offense this year. With a OC who could turn out to be a top coordinator this year it only makes sense to rebuild their offense first. 

What we have. 

Christian McCaffrey- an all pro running back that can be dynamic in both the passing and running game. 

DJ Moore- A WR who can get separation and make even bad QBs look good. He also put up 1000 yards with McCaffrey and they combine to be a dynamic duo. 

Outside of these two players we get into the average/ good players. 

Curtis Samuel- a gadget player who can effect defenses with his running or pass catching ability. 

Ian Thomas- a TE who has shown flashes to get separation and make plays

Trai Turner- a former all pro guard who has trouble staying healthy. 

Taylor Moton- a Tackle who has had success at both tackle positions. 

 

 

Naturally that's not a great bunch to work with but if we focus on rebuilding the line and the WR position we could successfully have a unit that could complete in two years. This unit would be the easiest to fix especially if we choose to move back to the 4-3 where most of our outside rushers will struggle along with not having a CB or MLB in the mix. So what are you guys thoughts?

If we want to try to be competitive, probably our best bet is to bring back Cam, focus on building a legit OL, patch together a D the best we can and basically try to be the Chiefs. Win with a high flying offense that can compensate for a really had defense.

Yep.

Sign a playmaker or two on D and hope for a couple stops each game. Outside of Mathieu and Alexander (generous by naming Frank) I don’t think many people can name many starters on their D and for good reason.

With the way the NFL is evolving to a offensive driven league it’s not such a long shot for this formula to work out these days

And at the end of the day, if Cam's injury issues resurface again we'll probably be setup for another top 10 pick anyway. A couple of breaks here and there and maybe we're in the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes.

F that. What happened to play to win.

At this point you plan for Cam's return and draft accordingly. Cam wants to stay and as far as we know the coaching staff and Tepper want him here as well. That means the draft should focus on fixing the o-line to protect Cam, allow passes down field, and open even better rushing lanes for CMC. That is the top priority. The defense should be tinkered with to add free agent journeymen who are skilled at stuffing the run.

We can't fix the offense and defense. This draft we fix the offense, 2021 we fix the defense, or draft a QB if Cam doesn't make it. With the offense fixed we should be able to compete and have a decent season if Cam remains healthy. The rules favor the offense, so you want to make sure you are getting the benefit of all those PI calls made each season. 

If Cam plays well and accepts a new contract, then 2021 you rebuild the defense. You plop a Kris Jenkins type at DT, and a Peppers type at DE via the draft. Add a long rangy zone CB to pair with Bradberry, and move Jackson to the slot. 2021 you have very good team hopefully.

Look what happened to the Patriots they had a historic Defense only to let them down. Build a offense juggernaut!

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
