Richard Sherman makes a lot of sense right now

When does hartsfield return? Because bouye will be fine and Hartfield will fill the nickel void

richard sherman says the zone/man thing is ridiculous.

[Khyber53]

I'm not sure if this team needs Sherman. There's a lot of baggage that comes with him on the good days and I'm not so sure there's not going to be some disciplinary stuff coming down the road based on his mental breakdown/domestic violence issue this summer. 

Right now, our long term is better served by sticking with who we have, moving guys up and putting some younger players on the practice squad to fill spots that open up. We're building depth every day and this continues that process.

This is a low drama, high potential, developing professionalism type of team. That is currently undefeated. No reason to mess with that.

Plus, in this pass happy NFL, if you are a name CB/S and you aren't on a team right now with the high demand and larger rosters, then it's time to hang up the cleats. Literally.

We have nobody serviceable to put in place of horn.

We are going to have to stop letting QBs escape our grasp like we have been if we are to have any hope at stopping the pass with our current DBs.

Let's see. We might be surprised. 

We certainly won't be surprised with Sherman's performance at this stage.

That's the spirit.

I'd take a wait and see approach for now.  That is, unless there is a promising prospect sitting on another team's bench that can be had for little to nothing. 

I seriously doubt that guy exists, but if he does, I think Fitterer will try and get him.

Something to keep in mind, Panthers new and improved line is the key to the defense this year. 

While it is always nice to have a lock down DB like Horn, is it as critical as it once was?  With our improved D line?  Perhaps, an adequate DB, one that can cover just long enough to give our guys up front time to get to the QB may be all we need?

Maybe the answer to all these questions is already on the roster?

Yeah, I really liked Sherman back in the day, but he's dealing with some serious issues right now and I'm not sure it would be good for him or the Panthers to do a deal even if he were physically up to it.

This may have been addressed in other threads but anyone know why Bouye was inactive?  

I get that he was just coming back but sitting him seems to show a lack of conviction from the coaches.

Pretty sure they said he was out 8 weeks at a minimum.

I highly doubt AJ can lock guys down in man on the outside

I highly doubt you've ever seen him play.... All the jags did with him and Jalen was lock up man.... With a far lesser pass rush.

I'd love for it to be true but he had Jalen on the other side not Djax.

Although I like Djax most seem to feel his play this year was because he had Horn on the other side.
