We go all defense last year..

This year not a very strong defensive draft with 1 maybe 2 players going top 10...  It is strong in the middle round Especially Secondary players but not as many bonafide Defensive Linemen, pass rushers or LB..

We spend more money ln FA on defense...

Who gets credit for the four thought if this is the case??

Is this a plus in Rhule cap??

Discuss..

It may have been Rhule and he's impressed me fwiw...but don't forget, Herbert would have been our pick if LAC didn't pick him so a lot is circumstantial. 

He did mention addressing defense first and then this year offense so it's definitely part of the plan.  I think fortifying the D makes sense strategically because you at least keep games close.  Then when the average offense has a randomly good game, you are competing with teams like KC which we did.

I could see a CB or DT being picked this year but it will be offense heavy.

Well in theory... building a good enough D got The Golden Calf of Bristol to the playoffs. And sadly was the reason our oline dissolved in SB50. 

I think its all Rhule. Honestly dont think we had a choice with how bad our defense was in Ron's last year. Now if you add in a new GM that probably still dreams about the Legion of Boom and our offseason moves before & after he got here begin to make even more sense. I'd like to think it's mainly Rhule though.

One thing is certain: The type of player they preference. 

Physical, fast, position switchable. 

We are silently building a hard hitting hybrid defense. But I do expect this to be a split draft. 3 on offense 3 on defense. Probably OT, OG/C, and a late WR since the class is so deep. You could probably throw in Safety (Andre Cisco, Richie Grant), CB (Jevon Holland [Safety/CB], Samuel Jr, Farley) and a DT late since we're thin there. Along with 8 Udfas. 

Side note since we're on 😧 Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah ...I don't want to see this guy in our division.

We don't have a clear picture on which positions will be premium, which middle of the road, and which scrubs. We don't know Rhule's/Fittere's blueprint, so we can't anticipate what we'll will do in the draft and FA.

I do know some thing about Fitterer and Rhule. They both love fast roster churning at the bottom. So our scrubs will likely be pushed hard to overachieve, and when they don't they be sent packing quickly for the next scrub. Churning the hell out of the bottom of the roster is way of trying to find overachieving gems asap. The drawback is that the burden is placed on the coaches to always be dealing with inexperienced new guys, and more so than the typical NFL team.

We also know that Rhule loves balance, so he wants to be able to run and pass very well. He places a premium on being able to run in cold weather late in the season and during playoffs.

In the past things were simple. We knew our scrub position on defense were the safeties. We had a system that didn't require the safeties to be high quality. Now we really don't know what is going on yet. The defense is still up in the air, so who knows what we're going to do in the future.

I’d love to go all defense again but I don’t see it happening. We added plenty of defensive players this offseason already. Reddick, Perryman, Bouye, Fox and Melvin. We are probably going all offense. 

They've done something we've never seen in Charlotte - filled the holes on the roster in FA so they can legitimately go out and take the BPA in the Draft.

We'll see if they actually follow through with that later this month.

      NHL Goalie Tiers: The Game

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The Athletic posted their goalie rankings for the season... The description of the tiers are as follows... Where would you rank Freddie and Pyotr? And don't cheat and look up the article. I'll post their ranks and the link in a bit.

      Chances against the Cowboys

      By frankw · Posted

      Refs will be in their pocket. Always have to account for that. They are 20th in rush defense. They currently have the worst pass defense in the league. I mean I want to say even Bryce could at least put up 250 or more passing yards given that but man he looked BAD when the pocket collapsed against Miami and they had the 20th pass defense. Just can't expect to consistently get clean pockets like that in this league even with the better OL's. I'd say with this being a home game hopefully our guys will be motivated regardless. We certainly seem to play much better at home. We'll see.

      Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They'd never do it, because it really would be insane to do, but if I'm the Commanders, I'd seriously consider trading Daniels after this season, especially as he'd get a HUGE return for him. He's RG3 part 2, with his body type and style of game, I just can't see how he holds up long term, he's going to end up having a seriously injury prone career. It would take some massive balls (or pure insanity) to pull the trigger on trading him, but I do think 5 years from now it would be looked back upon as a smart trade.
