Looks like we get to keep Ejiro Evero!

Also, I love Chinn and I hate we are going to lose a player of his caliber because he doesn't fit the system.  Everyone could see this coming.  Should have traded him last year at the very least.  I agree that I think he will be elite on another team.

It is a mark against Ejiro that he couldn't find a better use of Chinn, especially with all the injuries we had.

I still don't understand why we never moved him to linebacker.  6'3, 221.  He could easily put on 10-15 more lbs.  We could have kept Luvu on the outside which would have also helped Burns a lot more having a good pass rushing opposite.

Maybe Chinn doesn’t wanna gain 10-15 lbs to play LB. Anyone ever considered that?

Yep, but he has to know that's holding him back if that's the case.  Some people are stubborn and want to make something work that's not in their best interest.  I admire the determination, but the whole forcing a square peg in a round whole idea.   Chinn isn't a bad safety, actually he's pretty good, but I think he could be a Pro Bowl LB.

Ejiro's Bronco's held the same title the prior season.  If we don't lead the NFL in missed tackles in 2024....it will be the first time for the DC. 

Frank/Thomas Brown essentially have caused people to inflate Ejiro and this D.  They weren't good last year.   They just weren't the comical joke the O was. 

 we should of cleaned house.  Too much of the old mess is remaining.  This type stuff is why the Panthers continue to be so easy to predict each season in terms of success/failure. 

Defense held opponents to under the league average of 21.8 pts in 9 games last year (Bryce had 2 pick 6's in the Colts game, the offense only scored 13 points).

If we had a league average offense, we win a handful more of those games at the least.

Based on the switch to 3-4, all of the injuries, and the meh talent throughout the roster, the Defense did admirably.

Although I do understand the perspective that while they were the shiniest turd in the dog park, they were still a turd - there is reason to be optimistic about the defense moving forward, especially if we can lock up Brown and Re-sign Luvu.

Really is a glass half full half empty kind of a deal.

the last half decade has me unable to see a glass that is half full in regards to the Panthers.   That's not negativity.  But if you watch someone pour half the glass all over the floor over and over.....I just call it what it generally has proven to be until that cycle is broken.

The defense last year had to account for the worst starting position in the league or close to it, and an offense that had the most or second most points scored for an opponent. In addition to total yards, they also had a decent 3rd down conversion % and a low yards per play amount. They were also top 5 in points allowed in the first quarter. This is probably a playoff team (admittedly in a weak NFC South) with 1) an average offense in terms of points scored, and 2) an average offense in terms of, uh, not scoring points for the opponent.

On the other hand, our tackling sucked and our takeaways sucked. Our run D was not good. We couldn't get stops late in games when we really needed them.

But with all the injuries etc... I think Evero did a good job overall.  I don't think he is the best D coordinator in the NFL or something, but I think he made good use of what he had, talent-wise.

Haven't watched. Watch it if you want, complain if you want too. Otherwise, ignore.

My only gripe with this is he’s already positing and pondering internal strife amongst the staff and players thinking the defensive players won’t listen to Canales bc they wanted Evero as HC. 
 

it’s one thing to ask the question, but the way he’s presenting his point it’s like he’s wanting it or expecting it

I can't listen to that guy. His takes are constantly looking for poo. No common sense at all.

I mean, I think the common sense approach is a clean start....if you are coming off a reported Game of Thrones atmosphere in house.  We are keeping some big chunks in the front office and coaching intact despite the mess that was going on in Carolina. 

but I mean, his job is to look for poo and get you to listen.  I don't argue that.

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
