I personally would... the reward is greater than the risk at this point

 

Brown- Called out fans, lazy work ethic, if he doesn't show out this year then may earn the B label. I would say he is NOT RELIABLE as our # 1 DT

Nixon- flashes, could be good, not ready to rely on him full time

Roy- JAG

Hoskins- flashed in a few games, not ready to rely on him full time

Ionnadis- good when healthy, the WHEN should be emphasized

Mccall- project draft pick

 

Stah may not be the same player that lined up next to KK back in the day but if he can be an obvious run down rotational DT, it would stop the gap of teams just rushing right up the gut then getting the second level against our undersized LB core. 

TD and Kuechly's best years were behind Star

Him and KK were the best rookie DT combo I think I’ve ever seen.  Our D got so much better from 2012 to 2013.  Our run defense was ass last season, so I’d be for re-signing the man if it’s a good contract.  We need all the help we can get.

Does he have a lot left to give, though? That's a rough job.

If he could make it a year, he'd give us a bit of strength in the center of the line, but more importantly he could help train up some of the younger and softer talent we have there. We need a lunch pail, do the unsung work kind of guy on the line right now and in the future. He wouldn't be that guy, but could he help make the next one?

And that's a question I can't really answer. Star made the linemen around him look better because of the heavy lifting he did. But did he ever get someone else able and willing to do that work alongside of him? In a world of leading men actors, where can you find a dedicated character actor to really make it work? I'm not sure those guys can be taught, just born.

McCall won't be a project. He's probably a late 1st rounder at this point. Much of that will hinge on how the offense plays after losing Isaiah Likely to the NFL. He was a huge safety valve for Coastal that led to several big plays in the passing game throughout the season, including once against App State.

He reminds me a lot of Zac Wilson but I like McCall as a more fluid athlete and he has elevated the status of that entire team from a 3-9 type squad to 11-1 being realistic each year (losing to App State of course)

On topic, I'd love Star back. Short was never the same after Star left and I think Star and Brown could be another magic duo. The drafting of Star and Short was a revelation, even if the Huddle melted down after that draft. Say what you will about Rivera but his ability to scout and draft quality guys on defense cannot be questioned.

    • Make sure to consume copious amounts of Vitamin A during the course of the day. Vitamin A is great for helping to reduce the inflammation and irritation that you may feel, which can cause dryness. Foods that have high sources of this vitamin include carrots, chicken, potatoes, spinach and sweet potatoes. Scheduling regular eye appointments is the best way to ensure good eye health and to catch any problems early. If you are an older adult, your eyes should be checked more often. You are at risk for eye problems such as glaucoma and cataracts as you get older. Monitoring them closely will allow your eyecare professional to catch any problems early. Every eight weeks, your makeup needs replacing. These can accumulate bacteria, just like your contact lenses can, and that's why you replace them every several months. After several months using the same makeup, you will be brushing bacteria all around your face and eyes. This causes damage to your eyes.

    • grass ain't always greener.  people hated on Hurney and Ron like they slapped their mama.  It's easier to do worse than NFL average than it is better. 
    • McAvoy putting shoulder and elbow into Kampf's head, drawing blood from the nose- no call.
