You know me, I love a good defensive game. Seeing these photos and videos from camp has me all giddy from imagining the future of this defensive line.

 

Burns, Gross-Matos, Brown? Those guys could be absolute studs for us for the next several year, and on the cheap too. 

 

A cheap defensive line that can get pressure from the base four?

I would be even more excited if our secondary didn't look like it was about to be hot garbage for a minute. Those guys can only get to the qb if the receivers are covered. Brees, Brady and Matty Ice (worst nickname in sports, hands down) all are vet qb's who can get the ball out quick if the heat is coming.

We haven’t seen Snows scheme yet, but you can bet it won’t be a bend but don’t break.  IMO building a young,fast team means taking chances by blitzing and forcing turnovers.  There may be a lot of growing mistakes but there will also be some great plays.  This will not be a conservative defense

Encouraging!  Let's see how they hold up against the run which was our achilles heel last year.

Our 2013 team probably got an extra 4-5 wins from the DL dominance alone. It's by far the most important position group outside of QB, and yes that includes OL. I can't think of a recent SB winner that didn't have an above average to elite DL/pass rush. I can think of a few with average to below average OLs.

Brown should be a HUGE help there. He was considered by far the most pro-ready DL in the run game, with a high ceiling as a pass rusher. Think prime Star, but who could also have the potential to have prime KK pass rushing chops.

 

Gross-Matos should be pretty solid too starting out, based on his strengths in college. But Burns definitely concerns me in that regard, as do some of our other veteran DL.

Young QB on a rookie deal.  Rebuild (actually just build) the Offensive Line.  Get some corners and a cover safety.

Do that, and we can possibly compete in 2/3 years.

I have some hope that the answers to safety might actually be on the roster. I think the OL needs a major infusion of talent though.

Let's hope you are right about the S position...I have no clue what is on this roster at S at this point.  Here's to hoping though.

I do know that we have neglected the  O Line for FAR too long, and it's going to bite us pretty hard over the next couple years.  IF we can get that good rookie QB, and that's a big IF, I'd be OK spending some free agent money on the line if we continue to draft terribly there...which we will as long as Marty is here.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Have to stop making everything about BY. They will and have been bringing in players to improve the TEAM, not just Bryce Young. Which is something they should have done BEFORE bringing in a rookie QB. Even Metchie is a generally good pickup at a position of need. He just happens to have played with BY in college. And that doesn't hurt his chances or the team's. Morgan just addressed the biggest areas of need on the team via free agency so they won't be reaching for a position of need in the draft. He's legit picking the best player available for the TEAM in the draft. The o-line was in shambles in 2023. He addressed it in 2024. The d-line was in shambles in 2024. He addressed it in 2025. The pass rush and linebackers were in shambles in 2025. He's addressed it in 2026. Unfortunately good young WRs don't hit the FA market, so can't just throw money at them. You have to draft them. I wonder what some would be saying if they'd spent the amount of cap on the offense that they spent on the defense in 2025 and 2026 - and then used both first round draft picks on defense. Would that have been better in your eyes? No. You would be complaining that the defense is too young to compete and more vets weren't brought in because they're trying to prop up BY. This team should be talented enough now to make some noise in the South. If BY is actually holding them back, then QB will be addressed in 2027. They benched him 2 games into their tenure and you think they're tied to his success. No. That doesn't compute. They're tied to the team's success. BY could throw for 5000 yards and if they're 4 - 13, head's will roll.  TLDR: Their decisions aren't driven by making BY look good. They're trying to improve the team and win games. Period.

      I still firmly believe that Tepper still has his mandate of make Bryce work or get fired and because of that, it doesn't matter how badly he does... He'll get a long term deal in the 40-50m range and set back this franchise for a decade. Then the Teppers will have another QB infatuation and maybe they get it right then.
