So that's 2 significant FAs who didn't even make it threw camp. The other got trade.  

2 of them we kept eflein and Erving are also ones that should be on the street right now.

Fitt is showing so far that FA agency signings from other teams is not gonna be his nitch.

2021 Draft class A+

2021 FA's C-

Fitt was primarily on the college side for Seattle. We've seen before our existing pro personnel people leave much to be desired. I'd wait until after an FA season with Dan Morgan in the building before you judge Fitts on his FA skillz.

I don't mind the idea of playing smashmouth football and leaning on this defense, I just question whether we have the personnel to actually run it... 

It's just a hard way to win in today's offense driven NFL. Much less room for error. It's kind of like do you want to be the goalie or the striker. As the goalie (smashmouth + defense) you have to be perfect every time, but as the striker (high flying offense) you only have to be perfect once.

Just imagine the level of poo posting he'd be engaging in right now with us currently carrying all of the TEs. LOL!

All your TE's belong to us...

Reminds me of 2020. Same thing. Draft was way better than Teddy, Okung, Weatherly, Roberts and Apple. This year Perryman, Elflein, Erving and Moore sure haven’t wowed but at least we spent way less than 2020.

That's what you get with bargain basement FA acquisitions. We tried to fill holes on the roster so we could Draft BPA. Same this year. Smith made Moore expendable - that's a huge positive.

Perryman, and it pains me to say it as a huge Canes fan, was being a knobhead.

You see it every now and again in College. Teams are geared up to stop Spread offences so they don't have the personnel to match up when a Boston College comes to town.

In the NFL obviously those extremes aren't quite the same (mainly due to the insane athletes roaming the field), but I could see us lining up in 12 set and causing teams matchup problems. Worked with Shockey and Olsen (albeit they're both Pro Bowl TEs).

Speaking of, did David Moore catch on with the Jets?

I can definitely see them doing that a lot the first few games.  But other teams will catch on to that quickly.  Its going to be a challenge to keep Sam upright this season. 

If Arnold is the second TE in the two TE set, he is the third wide receiver on passing downs.  This may be the plan for red zone situations.

Given that they are still trying to make do with whatever they've managed to scrap together from two drafts and the FA scrap heap I would say that change is going to be a regular occurrence for awhile.   It's called a rebuild for a reason.

I get that point but... if your not criticizing people for crowning him when we havent played any games yet then i dont know why you are responding to me for being critical of his decisions in the same format. Thats my point.

It's weird right? Guy hasn't been on the job a year yet and if you ask any questions you get people giving you the stink eye. We all want the same thing but some of us have additional perspective through the failures of past front office executives so things will get looked at a little more closely now. So far there are things to like and things that seem like more of the same ol' Panthers. Like the oline. We're gonna find out soon

The TE thing has definitely become a curiosity. We must be planning on running two TE sets a LOT.

For old time's sake...

 

A blast from the past. Wonder where Sanjay's been lately.

No, he was cut. No surprise I guess.

Both Terrace Marshall and Shi Smith outplayed him IMO, and Zylstra is a core ST guy

Would imagine this means the PR job is Shi's once he's healthy... do we risk putting DJ back there until then? 

I surely hope not!
