Yeah I’m not that excited about the signings as everyone else.  But hey go Panthers!

O-line is improved, otherwise kinda indifferent. Foreman also might be a sleeper pickup, Titans didn't really drop off when he was covering for Henry, though AJ Brown was kinda going off in a couple of those games at WR

Most of these guys are on one year deals and you need to fill out a roster, I'm not expecting them to be stars

Offensive line is a weak link prospect, adding solid guys across the board raises the level of play. Seems fine to me, the team needs to find their star players, the big money guys, in the draft.

Wilson was a much better run defender with KC than Jax which probably is a a testament to that team overall.

I live in KC and watched him a fair bit. He played a Sam type of position and wasn't great. It helped that Anthony Hitchens made him look better by being so bad.

The 2 OL:  Huge upgrades.  Going from suckass to above average is great.  Wish Bozeman were on a 3-year deal, but that will come.

The S:  I am concerned that he is going to play free safety when his is much better vs the run (or I would assume, in the box).  His 58 grade in coverage is concerning.

The P:  Getting worse since 2013, but is average of late.

The RB:  Entering his prime and he will be liked.

The DL: Situational pass rushing DT from the 3 or 5 tech.  If we ask him to do more, we get burned.

The LB:  Not impressed.   Maybe in our scheme he can be good, and I am convinced that I could have suited up and played in front of Carter.

The WR:  Camp fodder.

OVERALL:  We helped 40% of the offensive line (going from bad to above average).  We helped the run game with Foreman--he is going to beast.  We are better at S because Woods is better than Burris.  Beyond that, we replaced the quality of players we lost.  I still think this free agency was successful if we can add a third OL--free agency or draft.

I'm not meaning to dog the signings themselves here since this looks like an actual NFL-caliber FA strategy vs what we saw last year, but I wonder how/if they plan on addressing improved run defense in the front 7. Neither Ioannidis nor Wilson were/are particularly strong in that regard.

Exactly my concern.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
