Did you stop watching part way through the year. Burns jad plenty of snaps as a 43 DE last year

He makes poo up all the time..

[WOW!!]

Just now, Snake said:

No he did not. He was replaced every snap. There was a article about the whole situation. 

Proof.. Show the article where Burns didn't play 4-3 DE at all last year??

You think a 250 LB can play DE. Might as well see if Shaq can play at DE I mean he can bulk up.

Proof... Burns can bulk up past 250.

Maybe we can just bulk up Action Jackson to play DE. Seems about right.

Burns will be 260 this year. And i dont want to hear about getting ran on. Every single Dlineman got gashed last year.

They sorta ran a Seattle front so I expect Burns, Miller and Haynes to still fit.  Wouldn't mind seeing what value Miller or Haynes have.  I actually think there's capital in one of the two.

[WOW!!]

Where are the articles?? Still waiting..

[WOW!!]

This this is why returning to a 4-3 is stupid. Right now we at least have some good pieces and promising others in a 3-4.  Burns Iriving potentially, Haynes and others would make the pass rush efficent. In a 4-3 u got what? Not even addison... you dont have one proven 4-3  end and you need 2. Not to mention another tackle for the 4-3 which we need anyway.

This also puts a meh on say drafting Simmons who isnt a good fit for a 4-3 he would be a fish out of water like burns. The 4-3 just isnt as flexible with positional players in my opinion. You need specific players. I don't like it 

Exactly! Additionally, it’s much easier to pick up players through the draft to fit a 34 defense..especially as college defenses have adapted to the spread offensives they see. I don’t like the idea of going back to a 4-3

Yeh Tepper just wanted an excuse to fire Ron and needed a bad season to do it.

he said during the interviews after the firing he wanted to put his own stamp on the Panthers,..

Ron is in a better place for him.

we see screwed. We wasted an entire draft last year...the whole draft.

[stratocatter]

Strongly suspected Tepper being behind it. That would make me want out as a coach.

I hate the idea of going back to a 4-3, but this goes right along with the direction of everything today... Panthers are gonna be crap for a while...

I think it's more like Tepper forcing Rivera to make some changes. Rivera comes up with the 3-4 thing and Tepper approved it. Either way, this organization is a joke. I will be putting more energy into the Hurricanes.
