There's the buddy Woods needed back there with him in the 2 deep.

They will all be useless if we don't have a consistent pass rush and the ability to stop the run. I like Vonn Bell as a player but I've seen too many defenses with All-Star secondaries flail around because the front 7 was garbage. We need another pass rusher/anchor at OLB and we need a 0 tech. Marquis Haynes will get washed out one first and second downs but he has elite potential as a pure pass rusher.

What I wouldn't give to have Hasaan Reddick back. The one that got away, for nothing.

I keep seeing this “move Chinn back to LB talk”. Was he ever listed on the roster as an LB of any sort? I don’t recall that. I remember him playing down in the box a lot but I thought he was still listed as a SS?

Whatever they labeled him as it was the proper way to use him. People knew this before he was even drafted. Chinn is at his best when he's actively engaged and not sitting in space dissecting what comes next. His ball skills and athleticism are strengths that help define his value and teams will need to find ways to put him in position to utilize both without exposing his inconsistent field awareness. He might find a future role as a big nickel or a cover linebacker who can drag tight ends around the field in sub-packages.

Well we signed a linemen to start things off and are in hour 4 of the FA, let's see what happens.  Plenty of road ahead.  The house hasn't even landed on the witch yet.

Looks as though the Panthers are going defense in free agency--a front end and back end player.  I am interested in this addition because it could mean that we will not need 3 CBs as much--our CBs are rather fragile.

As for those of you talking about the weight of DT Shy Tuttle  in a thread entitled, "Panthers sign Vonn Bell"  bless your hearts.

Panthers signed S Vonn Bell, formerly of the Bengals.

After spending the last three seasons in Cincinnati, Bell is now headed to the Panthers to help tighten up a pass defense that allowed the 10th-most passing yards last season (227.5) while ranking 29th in PFF coverage grades (54.2). While never being named to a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team, Bell has been one of the best safeties in the league against the run, and also totaled a career-high four interceptions last season.

Heres my Bell story.(i like the signing, depending on $$$).

Before, why did he miss games last year, I could not find injuries. He played in 9 games, confused. 

 

Bell story- in the draft Bell passed on all the 3 cone, 40, etc etc. Sean payton sorta wanted him and texted him "How can I draft you if I dont know your athletic numbers??" Bell did them all and sent the videos to Payton. The Saints then traded up(i think 3 picks) with the Pats, in order to draft Bell.  

Bell is solid at about every role for a safety- box, deep, biltz, etc. 

I need to see the figures, but hes a better woods in simple terms.

      What we had then, what we have now...

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      https://x.com/4thand1show/status/1975274357174784272?s=46   saw this this morning and came to post something similar. I didn’t just love the team or the wins, I loved those dudes man. They put everything they had out there every Sunday. You didn’t see a rep where anybody on that field was low effort in that era, and if you did they were quickly sent packing.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      …is Brycen Tremayne with 108 yards. Not sure what that tells us but I imagine it’s some sort of gumbo consisting of the following: - Bryce can’t push the ball downfield  - contrary to what many were saying this offseason, the wr still needs a lot of work.  - we need Coker back badly.  - Brycen is pretty good! Congrats to that young man! Curious to hear other’s read on it. Was a pretty surprised to see he had more yards than anyone other than Tet and thought that was symptomatic of our issues on offense.

      I don’t think many fans would have guessed the Chiefs and Ravens would be where they are right now. Same goes for some surprise packages like the Colts, I’m not sure many would have put money on them being top of their division after five weeks. It’ll be interesting to see if this continues!   Not necessarily. The Chargers have lost both starting OL and their 1st and 2nd choice RBs. They fell apart against Washington. The Broncos have just beat the Eagles, so they’d be my favourite in that division, but they are still only one win ahead of the Chiefs. All the Chiefs need is a couple of results to go their way and they’ll be right in the fight for the AFC East. I think that division is going to be very close and probably not a 12 or 13 win division like predicted. Unless of course the Broncos kick on.
