So many rumors, so little real news.

It’s the most dead part of the offseason and probably year as a whole. Nothing to talk about much outside of theoretical moves with minor evidence.

Having an elite front that can consistently apply pressure greatly lessens the need for superior talent in the secondary. Remember how good our 2013 defense was with a bunch of no-names in the backend? We had an excellent unit up front to mask deficiencies in the back.

If they can create a consistently strong pass rush, the backend doesn't have to elite.  

Nit saying we can't use more talent and CB, but I don't see any starting quality CBs laying around. 

With Donte and Jaycee being recurring question marks we could easily bring in Marcus Peters, Casey Hayward or even Byrce Callahan and still be somewhat competitive on the back end. Off the street any of those options serve as an immediate upgrade over Keith & CJ. Specifically CJ. 

It's a reason the staff isn't actively searching for replacements. But I do agree CB is far and away a more pressing need than edge.

As long as Burns, Chinn, Shaq and Luvu are on the same field we can manufacture pressure in this scheme.

People were so skeptical pre-draft that the team needed another legitimate value plug at CB. Some people got angry at the suggestion.

Even without the Horn injury. Achilles are not a one-off-season kind of recovery injury.

it’s probably going to be really rough in the secondary this season unless something unexpected happens

Yep, although if we can't find any decent CB's at some point, upgrading the pass rush opposite Burns can also help out a young and no so great secondary.  That with some quality Safeties that we have, it's not an end of the world scenario, but it's certainly not a great CB outlook right now.

Can we really afford to pay both Burns and Hunter long-term?

No longer an issue--Jets got him--I think.  Saw it on facebook, where they gave a second, third, and fourth rounder--can't find it anywhere else (just started looking)

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
