Panthers sign Vonn Bell

[Mr. Scot]

 

[Daddy_Uncle]

Focus on defense in FA and offense in the draft. Bell is a great Safety

So in a 3-4 base I'm thinking:

Brown - Tuttle - ???

Burns - Shaq - Chinn - Luvu on early downs / Burns - Shaq - Luvu - Haynes on obvious pass rush downs?

Horn - Woods - Bell - Jackson

If Chinn puts on some weight having him and Shaq in the middle could be nasty!  Also Barno is going to get some more playing time in the 3-4 IMO.

[imminent rogaine]

Chinn w some weight feels like a replication of Luvu. Neither are OLB and Shaq obviously has ILB1 locked up.

I get that they will mix it up w various fronts but in the on-paper base 3-4, there isn’t really a spot for him. 

[Smithers]

Why not kick Chinn outside with Luvu inside.  Luvu is much bigger 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Chinn could be used in Big Nickle packages where you see teams run 3 Safeties. We won't be in a 3-4 base very often except for maybe 1st and some 2nd downs

I’m guessing:

Brown - McCall/someone not on the team - Tuttle

Burns - Shaq - Chinn - Luvu/Haynes/Barno

Horn - Woods - Bell - Jackson

Does this signal Chinn to LB? I really thought we'd be looking for a true over the top FS, not another SS.

Or is Chinn gonna get shopped to recoup some draft capital?

 

Frank or Fitt one said we wanted a fast linebacker.  Chinn runs sub 4.5 iirc. 

Like the way the defense is setting up.  Fast and hard hitting.  Bell and Chinn on the same D is fun to think about

[Raleigh PF]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Chinn traded. He's a talent without a position.

[imminent rogaine]

If they figure out a way to get all these guys on the field at one time, with the speed we have w Burns, Barno, and Haynes, our defense could be quite scary.

Somebody who understands the 3-4 scheme explain to me what this means for Jeremy Chinn without using Chap GPT.

I won't pretend I know it all, but our expected base package is a two-high safety approach so Woods & Bell will be those outfielders with one sometimes a robber.

                     Woods -- Bell

Horn                                             Jackson

         Burns - Shaq - Chinn? - Luvu

                Brown - Tuttle - <TBD>

 

Now, this may only end up being 25-30% of our formations, but if we're keeping Chinn and want him in 90%+ of defensive snaps, that's kind of where he'll need to go at times.  Unless you want him deep.  

People will say he fits this hybrid but they aren't accounting for a good fraction of our anticipated defensive looks.

He'll be akin to the hybrid role with a thousand nicknames otherwise in our nickel and dime subs.

If that’s the case then Chinn is getting traded.

Same and I have the same question as well

Chinn being on his last year of his rookie deal probably means we won’t fetch much for him. Imo I think we’d get more value from moving him to LB than trading him for picks and taking our chances in the draft or spend more money on another LB

[App Panther]

I'm very curious to hear Chinns take on this. He had to of been approached first and asked his thoughts on moving back to LB...
