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!

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
