This seems like a dumb move that we'll regret by mid season

 

NT's are hard to find.  Watch McCall ball out in New England.  I have a hard time believing our 300 pound DTs masquerading as NTs will fair very well against 320-300 pound guards.

3-4 is over,4-3 again now

If we went through the entire offseason process, FA, draft, training camp, preseason, working on a base 3-4 and then switched to a base 4-3 because we couldn't find the right DT, then I'll have lost all faith in this staff before the preseason is even over.

It almost doesn't even matter anyways though, in today's NFL, most teams are running 3 or 4 WR on most snaps, thus needing an extra DB or 2 anyways, nobody plays base defenses much anymore unless their base has 5 DBs.

If we're not already there, within a few more years, the NFL will mostly have base defense packages that are 3-3-5, 4-2-5, or even 2-4-5, with the LB's in the non 4-2-5 defenses being pass rushers, like we have with Burns.  This is why having Chinn be successful this year and signing him to an extension is so important, I think his versatility is what's needed in today's game.

I still think it had to have been a locker room/off-field issue.  Makes no sense personnel wise and Bekichick recognizes how to use talent, especially defensively.  He was built for the role he was designated for and the team site and coaching staff hyped him all TC.  True, the first depth charts generally don't mean much, but guys don't go from being touted and projected as the starter at an important position to cut before preseason is even over.  Something happened...

So one if the most sought after defensive coordinators in the NFL says his preferred player type at the NT/DT position is not McCall. They really gave him a shot, but he couldn’t do what they wanted. So now half of the Huddle says he is wrong and he will regret it. That sounds about right and not surprising at all.

It's not that.  It's that they advertised him, even after seeing him line up as the starter in TC, as being that guy, then suddenly now don't.  I'm not questioning Evero.  I'm questioning the timing of it and how and why their opinion of him shifted so drastically so quickly - yet, Belichick sees value in him.

Belichick also saw value in a guy like Kony Ealy. So much that he traded for him and got next to nothing in return production wise.

BB makes plenty of questionable personnel decisions, like we do.

Let’s see how this plays out.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
