:  I sorta want Luvu at an ILB, but is that wasting his versatility and skill set?  Is he good enough to play opposite Burns as strictly a pass rusher (with coverage skills?)

Good stuff on our boy Frankie. “A guy who can destroy the mesh-point”

If only more posters had this same mentality we'd have a whopping 0 topics to discuss on an online message board during the offseason. Quality post.

The original post was some Madden garbage of how "OP would use them" not how "Ejiro will use them". There is a difference that's more than semantics here. When discussing how the staff will use them, usually an OP will provide some insight into coaching and scheme, not their personal preference.

Chinn more likely than not will be assigned to the TE most of the time.  I don't see how DJAX just seamlessly recovers from an Achilles injury with no side effects.  Unless we address the corner position in the draft you will be seeing more CJH than you'd like and Horn will ne locked on the each team's #1 receiver.

Looking at the LB's coming out of college, size isn't the be all end all from what it used to be.  In addition, we brought in some HOG MOLLYS on the front that will hold up the linemen and allow for linebackers to run fast and free.  Chinn and Frankie are the same basic size. 6'3 230 ish for Frankie and 6'3 220 for Chinn.

YGM is going to be more valuable from a warm body standpoint on game days than many think.  He is big enough to spell at the DT/DE than some other players.  I haven't run down what a game day 53 would look like, but I would value a player who can fill multiple positions if and when people get injured.

If we could trade back in the second to around 50 and pick up another 3rd round pick I think we would be golden!  I'd target Campbell (ILB) out of Iowa, Ricks (CB) out of Alabama, and AT Perry out of Wake with our first three picks.  Our later picks could be used on an additional linemen on both sides.  I like Wooten out of Auburn and Richards out of UNC.  Maybe stealing KJ Henery and Davis Allen out of Clemson would be a win in my opinion.  I am smitten with the TE out of Michigan Luke Schoonmaker, but I'm pretty sure he will be picked up before we hit our needs.

Long story short, With Brown, Tuttle, Williams, and McCall up front our LB's will have room to run free and make tackles.

I think Chinn or Luvu could get lost in the shuffle especially with the switch to 3-4. I don’t think Luvu is going to be a good 3-4 OLB. Granted I’m sure we will still have some 4-3 packages he could play. So the question is if Chinn or Luvu will be the ILB beside Shaq? I’m sure Haynes and YGM will start opposite burns. Haynes actually might thrive in a 3-4 olb role. He’s put up some good PFF numbers in a limited role and has improved with time. YGM hasn’t really shown much. Then there is Barno. Also Luvu could end up being a back up OLB? Could Chinn also play 3-4 OLB?

Your assuming he has an ounce of reading comprehension skills… 

I just wondered, "Were you breastfed properly?" "Did your parents take your Gerbil to run free on the family farm, only to be never seen again?"  "Did the person in front of you have more than 15 items in her cart and management at Harris Teeter did nothing about it?"

So what I get from this thread is this:

1. We need a CB

2. Chinn is a good player that we are going to have to be creative to use properly.

3. We need more help on the edge (OLB)

4.  There seems to be some confusion about YGM and how he will be used.

5.  Luvu will be moved around, but his position seems to be ILB and not OLB/Edge.

6. It would be nice to see LB Smith and Edge Barno step up.

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
