So who is most likely going to fill Trey Boston's role as a true Free Safety in our defense this season?

- Burris or another SS will take it on

- A CB will be converted and assume that role (if so which one)

- We will sign a veteran option before the season (who would you want)

- Kenny Robinson (the closest thing we have to to a true FS) will step up and actually take over the role

With the additions of J. Horn, AJ Bouye and K. Taylor- The thinking is we will be playing more Press Man Coverage which in many packages use a Deep Single High Safety (FS). I really don't see anyone on our roster that has demonstrated that ability. To be as versatile and be able to "show all the looks," We kind of need someone to do that I'd think. Last year we played a lot of split safeties and 3 safety looks, with mostly zone concepts I think. 

I don't think any of the current safeties on our roster really have the range to play FS, especially in 1 deep looks. Chinn is actually probably our best option as far as range/speed- but he is so valuable playing closer to the box. Hartsfield is probably the next best option as far as Range/Speed of the guys listed as S or DB on our roster.

I think this will be a very interesting position to fill in Camp. It may not be a big deal, if our line and corners play better (more pressure/better coverage) then opposing teams may not be able to expose Burris, or another less rangy DB playing the FS roles as easily.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
