Is the defense TOO multiple?

I don’t want to sound rude but come on dude. All great defenses do this on occasion. If you always a rushing your down lineman and have great coverage down field the flat will always be open. If you are aware that the opponent is over using their check down options sometimes you have to pop out with a DE or 3-4 OLB. This has been done for years, all the great DEs have done it and gotten interceptions or passes defended.

Lol my bad, anytime I see David Newton I can’t read anymore. That’s why I didn’t wanna sound rude because you’ve been around a while. Can we petition ESPN to force this guy into early retirement and just get Smitty or a Panther great to cover us. Hell Geoff Schwartz would be perfect the more I think about it.

Wasn't even Newton. Just some ESPN writer. Read the article and it will make you even more upset. It's an article about the game in which we are barely featured.

Real talk though, shows how much ESPN knows about our roster. The fuging write up about our game was 100% about Haskins.

I watched the Steelers stream for a little bit - they had  no clue who Burns was. Or anyone on our roster really. 

The disrespect was real. They were blatantly reading nameplates on jerseys.

I think that probably tells the story of that Brian Burns for defensive MVP bet.........

Whelp. Gotta build that rep. It starts in 15 days.

Seems like a waste of an MVP caliber DE to have him playing CB, although he did snag an INT.......

In all seriousness though. Yes. I don’t think we can carry him at CB. Too much competition, he doesn’t seem to have the proper physique and skill set to play CB.

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
