Rhule really likes a certain linebacker I didn't expect.

I was listening to Rhule's presser from the other day and he seems to really like what Adarius Taylor is doing in camp. 

 

Panthers fans probably know Taylor as Adarius Glanton. He changed his name to honor his father. I remember Glanton getting a lot of attention in Panthers camp a few years ago. He was stashed on the PS and the Bucs stole him away. 

Anywho, He may be starting this year on the outside, according to Rhule.

He’s a true pro’s pro. He could start for us, He’s a really good player and fits us well.

Sometimes it just takes players a while to find where they fit best.  Wesley Walls had been in the NFL for 7 years and only started 19 games total before he got here at age 30.  I know it was a different time but sometimes it just takes a player a few years before they find out where they fit best and what they can do to help a team.

Tahir Whitehead, Adarius Glanton and Shaq Thompson. This is the worst starting LB Corp in America. 

I don’t care how bad they are, our defense can’t be as bad as last year with the all vet team that we had playoff hopes for. I’m all about finding grinders who fit the team culture rather than sticking with the vets because Ron trusted the household names. Honestly I bet we end up seeing Shaq and Chin in linebacker coverage more than we expect, I don’t think Whitehead will be on the field unless it’s obvious running downs. We will see more 3 safety looks and 3 cb looks with Chin rarely leaving the field and filling the role Shaq had the last few years

Nickel defense should be considered the starters, teams operate out of 11 personnel over 60% of the time these days:

Burns // KK // Brown // Weatherly (Gross-Matos)

Shaq // Tahir

Jackson // Apple // Chinn

Burris // Boston 

---------------------------------------------

This is a likely personnel grouping we will see a good bit this year, Chinn's versatility and size add a unique layer.

A 30 year old career fringe roster player all of a sudden breaking out sure would be surprising, but hey it happened with James Harrison. Harrison had 4 career sacks when he was 29 years old.

Happened with Lorenzo Alexander also at 33 years old and played well for like 3 more years.  Also another linebacker.

Breaking news...Adarius Glanton waived after receiving kiss-of-death compliment from Rhule.

I doubt it. Thompson & Whitehead are somewhat accomplished, and Taylor was decent when he filled in here. The glass is half full!

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
