You should put (IR) next to Jaycee Horn. If Evero has this defense performing at a high level again he should be a HC somewhere next year. Still lacking quality depth and starters at several positions on that side.

Outside of CB 2 (unless you like Dane Jackson) where are starters absent on defense...

Woods, and Fuller

Horn, Jackson, Hill (Nickel)

Shaq, Jewell

Clowney, Wonnum

Brown, Tuttle, Robinson

---------------------------------

Where is the gap for a starter? If we plug in Gilmore this defense is better on paper than 23'.

I dunno if we are better unless you think clowney is better than burns and joey is better than luvu...

Yes it was confirmed that Tuttle is the NT. 

Does that not seem odd? Robinson is the known better talent for that position. Was there a logic given? Seems a real head scratcher to me. Not to mention that Brown and Robinson both weigh more than Tuttle. The smallest starter is at Nose?!

I heard he will be a June 1 cut

We can do that now unless we have already used our allotment of designated June 1 cuts.  After just looking at his cap hit, we hang onto Sanders for a season. There's not a whole lot of difference in cutting him now versus June 1.  He's not horrible, just not starter material.  That would simply create another hole to fill and have to pay someone else.

Here is what I do--you might want to put Brooks on the IR to start the season--that means he misses the first 4 to 7 games.  He can use the time learning the offense better and strengthening the knee.  Meanwhile, running behind the new OL, Hubbard and Sanders can hold it down.  After four games, the Panthers have a 21-day window to activate Brooks.  We could put Sanders on the block during that time, trying to get a trade for him.  If not, after week 7, put him the bench (inactive) then cut him June 2, 2025 and the cap hit is only $1,475,000 per year.  If Brooks enters the lineup on Week 8, for example, we'd get a fresh RB on a stronger knee midseason.  Not the best situation, but we can take a negative situation (Sanders not working out; Brooks' rehab) and make it work to our benefit more than cutting him outright.

From what I understand he’s supposed to be very very good as a 3-4 end, I personally really like it (but I couldn’t be further from an expert). What surprised me the most is that we didn’t try to get a real NT and use Tuttle as the first backup end.

From what I heard it was a clean ACL break, and not a tear, so it should heal relatively quick. He has already started running and cutting, so he should be 100% ready to go by training camp. So I expect him to be a day 1 starter.

I think it's a push. I do not know enough about Joey to know if he is better than Luvu but the stats are about the same I think. Clowney is better than Burns.

Agreed, I think Tuttle is a poor choice as the starter at nose. Better as a backup at end to brown and Robinson (since they insist on slotting him there).

      Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
