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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Chaos · Posted

      What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By MartyClemons · Posted

      This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
