In case you don't want to watch the video - it's Shy Tuttle

[JawnyBlaze]

I’ve seen this signing singled out from a couple different outlets. I am totally ignorant about this guy but hopefully he can be the partner in crime to Brown that we really haven’t provided a DT since we foolishly let Star go.

A YouTube channel with 542 subscribers is praising one of our free agent pick ups. Okay. I guess that's good, but it's not like the hot story on ESPN's flagship show.

Got to start somewhere I guess.

there's a lot to like about all the FA pick ups this year. Shy is going to be a huge ass asset there in the middle of the line. should be a big year for Brown. 

i'm just hoping that we see more action like this, though...

I understand your take on this ..  

I guess I am ok not being the hot take on ESPN ..  who will , ad nauseum, promote teams and players from the north east..  Can you imagine how many stories they will post on  Aaron Rogers and the Super Bowl favorites the N Y Jets ??  

ad nauseum  -  referring to something that has been done or repeated that it has becoming annoying or tiresome.

Looking forward to his contribution to the defense. One question - why is he missing from the roster on the Panthers’ website?

So is he going to be our starting 3-4 nose tackle? Isn’t he a bit small for it? That’s my main concern going into the season, it doesn’t seem like we have the right pieces for a 3-4 DL.

Saintsreport was sad to see him go, but happy to see we overpaid for him in their view.

He is going to be switching with DB in that nose role.  His tape suggests his size wont be an issue as he's been very solid against the run in his career.  They probably feel it wont be a problem even though his role will be slightly different here with more two gapping.

I'm sure the Jets were sad to see Luvu go and happy we "overpaid" for him too.

He was a rotational player there...not the expectation here.  In the thread I made about the 5 best offseason moves..he was listed as #5

5. Signing DL Shy Tuttle This isn't a "sexy" move by any means but it's one that will do wonders for someone like Derrick Brown. It's going to free up Derrick to make more plays in the passing game as he won't have to deal with as many double-teams. Tuttle has never been a stat machine but his value is far more important than numbers on a piece of paper.
