Has anyone within the Panthers' organization realized that we only have 5 DL on the roster? 4 TEs and only 5 DL.

This is gonna be interesting. 

I want to believe that this means they aren’t really that worried about the Burns situation and it’ll be sorted tomorrow… but I’m starting to think maybe we still just really have no idea what we are doing.

This isn't at all unusual for a 3-4 team.  Barno, Burns, Gross-Matos, and Houston can all come down and play down on the line.  So saying we only have 5 DL, while technically true, is misleading.  We certainly have more than 5 guys that can play on the defensive line.

Other 3-4 teams also only have 5 listed DL on the roster.  Packers, Ravens, Vikings, Dolphins, Titans.  And most of the other 3-4 teams who do have more than 5 listed DL, only have 6.  And if a team has 7 (like the Rams), they are running fewer OLBs than us.  Patriots are weird in that they have 7 DL and and 5 OLBs... but they also only have 2 RBs on the roster, so maybe teams just build differently than others and that is okay.  But there is nothing wrong with only having 5 DL on the roster on a 3-4 team.

I can't believe we are not adding a TE to the PS.  Hurst has a reputation of being dinged up throughout any given season and our depth sucks.  Considering this SHOULD be Ian Thomas' last season, it couldn't hurt to develop a young guy.  Heck, they keep trying to make Sullivan into something and now he's on IR, so let's try another dude.

Y'all do realize we'll be in Nickel defensive sets primarily...that ONLY calls for 2 IDL, 2 Edge, two off ball LBs and 5 DBs, and that will be somewhere between 65 to 70 pct of the snaps. 

The "34" base defense only requires 3 DL, so if we carry 5 for now the numbers work, the depth quality is the concern, not the quality.

Also it's 3 TEs and Ricci, he's a fullback...that's normal as well even if you wanna classify him casually as a 4th TE.

      Tmac= Slant boy 25 Renfrow= if 2021 maybe the best for dinkin Hubbard= found his hands in 25 Dowdle= great Rb hands Sanders= better catcher than blocker Horn/Tremay/Tremble/whoever get snaps= more than able to run short quick routes or stand in a spot close to LOS. Coker= should be able to add to the group That's plenty my friend along with two RBs with good hands. I know Dave is not Payton and BY isn't Brejesus. This group can pull off a Chinese copy of it tho......

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The fact that we're STILL questioning if he should be starting is all that needs to be said.   If this week doesn't turn out well, the boiling point could hit soon.  Don't think 0-3 does it, but it could be soon.  Considering our schedule, it may happen if things fall off the rails.   We have 3 winnable games by week 9.  If we're just sitting 2-7 or 1-8 after the Packers game, that would be near the end point of this situation in its entirety.    It took what, a 1-10 start to can Reich in his first year?  I think a 1-8 start to Bryce in his 3rd would be reasonable to politely end his tenure in Carolina.

      Pressure or no pressure Bryce Young does not have the arm talent to consistently threaten defenses and open up the whole field. We have seen this throughout his 32 career starts. The Jaguars defense in week 1 only blitzed on 20% of Bryce Young's dropbacks and they still imposed their will and forced 3 turnovers from Bryce Young. I can present you information but if you choose to ignore it and what you are seeing with your own two eyes you are beyond help.
