Good no more trading up

Still think they could potentially trade Burns to get a 1st.  

Especially with Morgan talking about wanting football players that are tough, gritty, "have that dawg in them".    Burns is the softest "star" player here.  

Need to build around guys like Brown and Luvu who fight every play.

Yep, saw one mock where we traded back at 33 for 2nd round picks and thought that was great too. If there is a giant batch of WR's available (which almost every mock shows in R2) gamble and try and get two of them. Or get OL and WR.

I think you can add Luvu as well. Him and Brown should be the foundation pieces of our defense.

I think Luvu is a really good player.  I don't consider Luvu an attitude/not nice dude between the lines.    

 Ron had some dudes.   That's the last time we had players that had a real edge to them IMO.  Brown got some in him but I just don't see it elsewhere.  You need a mix.  Our recipe has been missing those types. 

[Chief Keek]

Tepper must've been in charge of the audio for the press conference.

He's not a player who pushes the lines or anything.  But everything about him is tough and setting the tone for the defense.

 

Opposite of Brian.

I have no idea why, but the audio is as clear as Reich's gameplans last season. 

Plausible deniability

did tepper say anything worthwhile?

Asked if he was going to do interviews today, Panthers owner David Tepper said with a wry grin: “No, I’m in the background now.”

When you compare Burns to his peers there is a stark contrast. I want the Crosby, Hutchinson, Watt, Bosa types. The hungry animals that are in on every play, super high motor, constant disruption

I don' think you have to be a line crosser.   Cam brought it.  Luke did.  Thomas Davis did.  They were not pleasant people on the football field.   And they probably weren't pleasant to teammates who opted to phone it on.

I love Canales saying he wants ball out in 2.7 seconds or less.  Big target for him and Bryce.

 

 

So, WR need to get separation in 2.7 secs or less and O-line needs to hold up for 2.7 secs.

Luvu is a high motor high intesity guy on the field and super laid back off the field.  I don't have an issue if you have a player that can flip the switch.. much like Luke.

I’ve gotten the sense the past few years that Burns is a bit of a cancer. He’s not leading in the right direction.

1000%.   How can you be a leader and captain of a team and then admit you mailed it in because you didn't get a new deal and were playing not to get hurt.

I think we should. He admitted he wasnt playing hard due to fear of injury.

He is a good not great player. We can find more of those. Trade him if you can, tag him again if you can't.
