Yes but Gross-Matoss is also 6-4 260 

burns is 6-5 250

there are other parallels in size as well

There just isn't a parallel when it comes to scheme.  Broncos we're running a 3-4.  We're running a 3-3-5. It means we're relying on smaller players to stop the run.  I love the 3-3-5 on third and mediums, but when we're running light weight lineman out there and using less lineman period it's an issue.

Well tbh, YGM is your traditional DE. Brown & Fox are very good at run stopping also. 

That said, we're not close to where we need to be but like I said previously, even when we had traditional players we still had a MASSIVE problem stopping the run at one point. What changed this..... Luke Kuechly. 

Jermaine Carter is not your ideal starting MLB. He's somewhat adequate but there's a reason we went after Perryman. Also, we just happen to be missing our team leading tackler(iirc), Shaq Thompson.

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      By NAS · Posted

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
