McCall Cut!

Looking at the current Denver depth chart they don't have a DT listed above 320lbs.  Their starter is right at 305lbs.  Maybe it really isn't a need in this defense to have a wide body there.  I saw a few 2-5-2-2 looks on the field during the game.  We have Burns and YGM who have played with their hand in the dirt before.  You squeeze the big guys (Tuttle/Brown/Williams) in closer on the line and it closes up the middle allowing Frankie and Shaq a little space to move around.  You still have Burns to rush, YGM/DJJ to hold an edge and Chinn as the 5th LB.  It actually operates more like a 4-3 than the traditional 3-4.

Maybe I'm wrong.... just thinking out loud here.

Deshawn was their NT in 2020 and 2021 and he is 295.

Evero runs 5-1/Penny Fronts. Since the front 3 are flanked by a consistent EDGE and a counterpart rotation, it allows for multiple disguises the more versatile the edge and NB are. Chinn is going to be operating in box near Shaq and Luvu will be moving around off and on ball. 

It’s pretty cool with our personnel but it’s not a plain 3-4 system by any means. He’s not a mirror of Fangio either. Evero has his own wrinkles with gap assignments. I’m in the boat of not that worried here.

Solid example (against us):

Reich isn’t wrong, both Raequan Williams and Nick Thurman have looked better than McCall. Hell, I can even point to specific plays that LaBryan Ray and Taylor Stallworth have made. I can’t do the same for McCall.

Fans should be excited about this because it shows that there is a new mantra. It’s not about what you have done, it’s about what you are doing.

Raequan took the starting job going before the Giants game. They only cut McCall early to give him the chance to get on another team.

An NT in a 3-4 has to hold his own against 2 blockers and clog the middle. Collapsing the pocket is desirable but foremost he has to stop the run.  If he doesn't fit our system then he clearly didn't do that. So why keep him around? The bigger question is why the article and hype only to cut him a week or so later. Must be keeping personnel issues close to the vest.

Tuttle and Deshawn also can play NT along with Raequan and Thurman. I dont get how some reporters say we have no one. Deshawn started for the Broncos for 2 years at NT ffs.

They have not put any effort in to learning about the gap and a half scheme that Evero comes from and has implemented.

It's not the traditional 3-4.  The coaches say it, the info out their on gsp and a half explains it thoroughly, and the rosters that implement it reflect it.

The media is lazy and doesn't care to educate themselves

    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again. 
    • Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
    • Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
