Has barely played over the last 3 seasons due to injury, but Fitt said we're still looking for a traditional pass rusher and he could be had for cheap I would imagine.

Also, reading the tea leaves, I think Dunlap is going to sign but I figure he's waiting for TC to wrap up first.

Apparently he’s got a terrible back and is likely not going to be in any kinda shape to suit up for anybody this season. Dunlap seems to be our best option right now. Personally I’m interested in seeming how YGM and Haynes progress with larger roles. We definitely need someone to step up beside Burns, because now that Reddick is gone, Burns is gonna see a lot more attention.

We're still likely to see a ton of stack 3-3-5/3-2-6 fronts.  The only legit run-D capable traditional 4-man is YGM/Brown/Loannidis/Burns.  Most team's sub packages is basically our base, scares me that we'll still be bad against the run due to this.

Burns-Brown-YGM (DL)

Luuvu-Shaq-Wilson (LB)

Chinn-Woods (HS/S)

Horn-Jackson-Taylor(or)Hendo (CB)

Burris (FS)

If we do see more loose 4-3, we're likely throwing Ioaniddis in, but potentially banking a lot on YGM, Nixon, & Hoskins developing.

Bring him in for a physical. I know the pats wavied a DT that was young cheap and former #1 HS player....but colts claimed him.

 

If you look at FA at sportac, theres plenty of names at the DL. I wouldnt rule out a trade either...

What would the raiders take for colin ferrell?? can not be more than a late rounder at best, ie like a colin+7th for panthers 6th..

Our defense's base is essentially a Stack 3-3-5 at this point.  It would be good to identify a quick, run support OLB in this instance.  It's what they tried to do with Littleton and Wilson.  Wilson is a tough nosed run stopper that hopefully helps (and stays outta trouble)

Can he even pass a physical? Dunlap is definitely the preference but if Ford can come in and be a situational pash rusher then I’d be about it. It’s unlikely Brandon Smith will be contributing this year so it would be nice to have someone else to provide a bit of a pass rush outside of Burns and maybe Haynes.

Dee even if healthy isn't quite what we really need size wise. Hopefully YGM can actually stay consistent this year, but we still need a bigger edge guy for rotations. That Darryl Johnson guy we traded for has been pretty much invisible and Austin Larkin seems like a jag. They've got like 10 DE's on the roster and still aren't content so that's not a great sign.

Ive been meaning to do thread on unknown panthers and my first one was going to be Darryl Johnson. Right, he was barely was on the team, but what a difference one year could do for him. First off his main positive was ST and now tabors involved that could help him gain the need push to becoming a game-day player. Hes got the length and maybe size for a edge in whatever D snow is doing. If he leveled up, there maybe no need for a DE/edge/_____ . Panthers gave up a 6th for him, seemed Dan Morgan thought it was enough and he got a couple years to view him. 

Deal is the DL have talent, just young. 

Forgot to add, this is Johnsons first TC with the team.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
