The line was built as a downhill road grading power run line.

The new (former?) staff thought it best to implement a zone finesse scheme.

Not one of our linemen outside of Corbs fit that mold.

Christensen does. But he was injured

Disagree on trading down. 33rd should be a great BPA pick. Someone (probably a few) 1st rounders will slip out of the first due to a few reaches and just fit with drafting team. We have the perfect opportunity to go BPA at every pick.

Only way I’d trade down is if we got a later second plus a 2025 2nd. We won’t be good next year so great 2025 picks are great value to us. We don’t need more picks, we need picks to turn into impact players because we have Brown in 2024 and that’s it. Luvu and Brown aren’t even under contract yet. The entire rest of our team is replaceable. The top teams have more pro bowlers than we have non-JAGs. I’d think about adding Horn but he’d have to play a full year first.

Yes, no more trades unless some team wants to drastically over pay.

I would like to think injuries at OG effected him.

 

But I keep going back to the start of the season where he struggled mightily in the joint practices and preseasons Before Brady got hurt.

And yet he look fine at the end of the year before. Scheme and coaching matter while it sounds like the wheels were coming off the Panther's short bus in training camp anyways. No idea if he is a fit moving forward but he can be given another shot with competition or traded/cut as needed. There are so few players not in that category going forward.

Drafting OL should happen every single draft. That is something we should never stop trying to improve. If for no other reason than depth.

This was why Marty 2.0 and Fitterer were so disappointing. I know DG was bad at many things but at least we were only complaining about LT and speed bump. After DG left, we lost Turner, Norwell, Ryan and Williams and we did almost nothing other than mediocre FAs until the OL was so bad in 2020/2021 that we were forced to draft a LT at 6th overall. It’s 2023 and our best OL is still a guy DG drafted in 2017.

I was very disappointed that Hurney didn’t go IOL in 2019/2020 when that was incredibly deep and then again when Fitterer basically ignored OL in 2021 when it was as big a need as QB.

OL often have hits on day 3 of the draft. TBH, it feels like a couple OL every draft in day 3 is a great strategy. Maybe even OL/DL only in day 3. You can never have enough depth and lucky hits there. Only exceptions are if there are extreme BPA drops.

It's really going to depend on the new coach and their system.  If they want to run more power, then we're good, just keep finding better guys, and coach up the younger players we already drafted.

If they want to change things drastically like Reich did...god help us all again!

Hopefully we do get back to more of a run game.

But anyone thinking we’ll go back to what we saw Wilks do at the end is wishful thinking.

no team in the NFL drops back to throw it 15-20 times to 30+ rush attempts anymore in 12 personnel

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
