I think any wins are a bonus at this point, but I look forward to seeing how our players look now being utilized properly.  We will now be able to better gauge their worth and development...

Also, can't wait to finally see Burns utilized as a pass rusher on third downs instead of dropping into coverage 10 yards downfield and Chinn as a SS when he comes back.

This is exactly what we needed to finish out this season, regardless of what happens next season.

Yeah man but no Chinn needs to move back to LB. Am hyped for Wilks for sure

Chinn is a bonafide SS. That’s his natural position and playing closer to the LOS is his strength. It was rumored that Wilks and Snow were at odds over this. Can’t wait if he will use him in that capacity now that he’s the main man.

I could see Chinn being effective as a hybrid LB/SS role in certain packages but he’d be miscast in a full-time LB role. And we don’t need him there with the depth we currently have.

His rookie year he was a bonifide rookie of the year playing LB and actually making a difference. Got snubbed only b/c we're the irrelevant Panthers. So long as he's playing at the LOS instead of way back out in the middle of nowhere doing nothing it will be a good move for the Panthers and Chinns career.

Wilks and Fitt need to find a QB in the draft. Yes I think Wilks can remain hc. Trade the non-oline vet players and let's plan for the future.

There is absolutely nothing indicating Wilks should remain, he was absolutely awful in AZ, I mean sure, we go on a run and finish 13-4, by all means keep him. But barring that, I just don’t see it

Yeah if they identify a better HC option then go for it. I'm not going to stump for Wilks, but I'm not going to be terribly upset if he stays.

I agree with you on playing closer to the LOS as opposed to playing more in space, which was never his strength. Playing LB full time would not be a good long-term career move for him IMO. And unnecessary with the depth we currently have there.

He was also terrible as our DC.  I think the guy is at his level as a position coach.  There is nothing wrong with that.  He seems like a good dude who connects well with the players . . . but just not more than that.

      The reason Freddie didn't dress

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Yep, you're right. I forgot about that. Fly was banged up, but RBA put him on the ice for a reason, too. Could have put KK out there, but there was a purpose for Deslauriers on the ice.

      So David Moore is making the 53?!?!

      I wasn’t speaking of Metchie in the context that I referenced Renfro  I couldn’t, he hasn’t played a snap for us    My Metchie esteem level is just not real high. As an NFL WR.  I am no expert on WRs it’s just what I think based on how it has gone for him as a pro  If he can’t catch on here with his old buddy then who is left? I am not wishing him any misfortune and hope he does well because that means we stole some talent; basically for free to boot.

      Thornton and Lee III

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      No one said it would be a permanent thing.  The best thing about having more than two good corners is that you can play them in different position which changes how a QB sees the play unfolding.  You put question marks on a QB you had a second or so of decision making and gives our improved (hopefully) DL a chance to sack him.  If Thornton and Lee turn out to be studs you have 4 good CBs that can be used all over the defense.  That's a good thing.  If you are looking at it just based on salary it is kind of weak take.
