Singletary: Hudson a better fit for Panthers


Rod Butsecks

Recommended Posts

(By Charles Chandler, [email protected]) New Panthers cornerback/special teamer Marcus Hudson should be a better fit for the Cover 2 defense Carolina employs than he was in San Francisco's 3-4 scheme, says 49ers coach Mike Singletary.p/The more physical he can be, the better, Singletary told the Observer during the NFL meetings in Orlando, Fla., last month. In terms of (playing in) more of a Cover 2, Tampa 2, I think he would really excel. I think it gives him an opportunity to compete and use his tools a little bit more.

i didn't know marcus hudson was expected to be on the field for defense for any significant time. i don't really know anything about him. is he actually in consideration to supplant captain munnerlyn or something?

Richard Marshall insurance plan...

I'm telling you, I really don't see Marshall here next year...

CB1: Gamble

CB2: Munnerlyn

Nickel: Hudson?

interested to see how he looks in preseason... Looks like Singletary wanted to promote Hudson a bit..

Just curious, why not?

In my opinion, letting Marshall go would go against what we've been hearing from Hurney and Morrison, and would go against the whole "young players we've drafted in recent years must step up and be full-time starters" mentality. I know there's more to it than that, but keeping Marshall seems like a no brainer to me.

I would love to keep him, but I don't think he wants to be here, especially with what he thinks he is worth... We'll cut our ties if someone makes him an offer... If they don't, we'll keep him for cheaper than we normally could...

interesting. there's two from the university of south carolina too. i wonder if they do that to bring in more attention and money from north and south carolina fans. would they have picked captain munnerlyn in the 7th round otherwise, or was there someone available who was just as good in their minds?

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
