They must really dislike what they’re seeing at OLB opposite burns and Haynes back must be a concern 

I feel like they might like some of the young guys that have been flashing (Leota, Jones come to mind) but you can't trust a couple of UDFA's to be your only other guys outside of Burns. I feel like YGM might get traded before the season starts.

Haynes is the one good piece we have after Burns rotationally.  Problem is that he doesn't compliment Burns to be on the field at the same time with him, Shaq & Luvu.  He's backup/rotation, down dependent.

This tells me YGM isn't showing enough as an edge setter and DJJ hasn't shown much either.  It's mildly annoying but we've all seen this hole from a long ways away.  Good to have a dude like Houston.  He comes in, and helps to get a decent cream rising from YGM, DJJ, & Leota developmentally. We'll see.  Plenty of ways to go until week 1.

This is a great short-term bandaid but it also signals that they don't see YGM as the answer and that DJ Johnson is likely not ready to contribute as a 24 year old rookie. 

From a 2023 roster standpoint I love the move, but I think it also says that the future of our edge rusher group is very much a work in progress. That's something that shouldn't come as a surprise to any Panthers fan paying much attention.

    • Him and also Igo allowed to photograph practices was so much better than these cheesy 20 min fluff videos they put out occasionally. Bill Voth too before he signed on and then left
    • Whatever they're using, chuck it in the trash. Grant you, the odds would be rather dire but 0%? Even someone like me could conjure a hypothetical where we could win and - as such - the odds would not be zero. 1. Most of our offseason moves end up working. Better O-line play, BY has more GB 2023 like games. Run game becomes top dozen. We constantly win TOP which keeps our defense fresh. 2. We're in the NFC South. A ticket to the playoffs only requires winning the division, even with a losing record which we've done before. 3. Playoffs is a lot about matchups. You get a team that limped in and/or lost their QB late. Or you get the Cowboys and they beat themselves like they usually do. Or we simply get opponents that are quite suspectible to what we do best. Obviously, there's a ton of luck involved but given how Canales seems to want something that may be a reminder of John Fox Panthers football, well, that type of thing actually works better in the playoffs.  4. And of course, the Super Bowl. Yeah, you could get the Chiefs or who knows, maybe the Texans make a run. We inexplicably won against them last season. Maybe we somehow simply have their number. Yes, all of this is very much a long shot but at least for me, the biggest factor is "Can you get in the playoffs in the first place and have the stars align?" Play with the variables enough and you'll find a path.
