"32. Ron Meeks / Panthers — Meeks was let go by Jim Caldwell in Indianapolis, and his simple approach forced head coach John Fox to become more involved in the defense and find ways to take advantage of Julius Peppers and a ball-hawking secondary. SCOUT'S TAKE: "He's not a proven commodity as a defensive coordinator. John Fox made some bad choices adding to his staff and has ended up having to overcoach himself. The run defense was a problem for Meeks when he was in Indy — it was too vanilla — and little has changed (since he arrived) in Carolina."

i don't know about 32nd... but it does seem that meeks' system relies on having the best athletes consistently making outstanding plays on their own. At the end of the season it started to work. But the schemes and positions he puts the players in does seem vanilla and simple for the offense to understand.

Good thing Meeks has a system that makes use of our stellar big play making athletes eh?

We could still have that Trgovac soft zone that makes it so that even the stellar athletes are rarely in a position to make a play.

Dan Morgan did say that Fox has his finger on everything in the organization, and that he's taken over the defense in the past when things aren't working so I guess it wouldn't completely surprise me if there was some degree of truth to this statement. However, calling him worse than the Giants or Lions D-Coordinators is laughable.

Two spots above Meeks is Bill Sheridan, who was fired after turning one of the league's best defenses into one that saw teams score more than 40 points on them several times last season.

Meeks, on the other hand, fielded a top ten defense that only improved as the season went on, despite injuries to several key players.

What a completely ignorant choice for the worst defensive coordinator in the league.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      I swear Morgan didn't have 1st(#1 overall) or a 2nd rounder in this rebuild.......Then his first 2nd rounder that he gave up two 5ths for is now out for basically 2 years..... Football is not forgiving....

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      This. They better not even think about bringing him back if they are short on TE's.

      Clowney released

      By Basbear · Posted

      MHS, You are missing Claudin Cherelus is a LB that's in the mix for the 4th spot. He's been here for 2 years and had a couple injuries. I mean he was a wavier claim and been here for evero system, just had bad luck when given a chance. Jon Rhat is the current leader mainly cause of he is the ST ace. But Id say, Cherelus has the same % to make the roster.  CB has the recent wavier claim of MJ Devonshire a 2024 7th rounder. He's got the good-great combine numbers but he's small size. Still he's in the mix for backup duties, in fact all the non-UDFA are wavier claims.  ______________________________________________________________   Dam shame about Clowney. I view this as a bad move. I feel clowny is well worth the 7.7, even as a backup. He played hard the whole year without help. I just feel he would have helped more than either DJ Johnson or Barno.  My only cope is he's 32 and at any point his miro-knee could force him to drop off a cliff performance-wise. I wanted to keep him around at least until the trade deadline and if no chance at playoff, flip him for a anything. NFL is a meat grinder, no love for locals....
