You know what else hurts?

No depth in the secondary 

Being 2 LBs shy

Being a real 5 technique shy

Chinn at safety

That is true but the defense was better with snow.  That's why this is specifically talking about second half of the season drop offs.

We need a real safety so we can move Chinn back in the box.  It's basically 2 picks/players for 1.  Who was the last solid safety we have had?  

Wilks has always specifically wanted Chinn at safety.   It has nothing to do with him being there out of necessity.

Really? He was moved to safety last year before Wilks was here? I thought he is there now because there aren’t many other options?

Its just been said by other coaches and Wilks himself how he wanted Chinn to play safety.  I'm sure you could find some interviews somewhere but I dont remember them specifically.   I do remember a lot of comments here when Wilks was over the secondary that of course he would want the best players in his position group

Yeah that makes sense. I just hope it’s currently out of necessity…

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.

      Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
