He played a rotational role in Baltimore last year, only started 1 game but played in 14 and had 9.5 sacks.

He will probably be used in run packages. He is the heaviest edge we have by far. 6’3 and 270. 

Sure. It’s a nice signing. They clearly aren’t comfortable with the depth at LB with these recent signings of Houston and jones

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

There is value at having a proven pass rush. Asking a bunch of role players to suddenly step up, and to DEPEND on. Them to provide a consistent rush opposite of Burns, so Burns can have a bigger impact, is really a lot to ask for. 

These young guys are still going to get plenty of opportunities,  as you have to rotate your dlinemen to keep them fresh, so they can still.impact the game in the 4th quarter when the game is on the line.

Oh my gosh 😮...only if you could get by on not having to pay top players in the league big money it would be so much easier to build championship teams am i right? Too bad it doesn't work like that..

As a general comment, paying big money for players who may not be worth it/at that level isn't a good strategy either.

This is an outstanding signing, basically the equivalent of Thielen on offense.

Thielen will be a rotational guy who can't play every snap at this age but will be an effective vet when on the field.  Plus, Thielen is a pro's pro and part of his job is to take the young WRs under his wing and teach them how to do things.

Houston has 111.5 career sacks and according to the ESPN article on him, has earned the nickname "Yoda" and "Sensei" due to him staying after practice to work on pash rushing moves with young players.

He's here to give us situational pass rush (which he had 9.5 sacks doing last year) and to help mentor all our other pass rushers.  Can't wait to see how much he's going to help Burns take his game to a whole new level.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Chaos · Posted

      What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By MartyClemons · Posted

      This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
