Am I really supposed to believe Rivera was in town just to see what's up? No, he was there for a reason and talking to the owner helps promotes the theory he may be in talks about becoming our new DC. Go back to 4-3, go heavy on the d-line in FA, draft T-Mac to give Young a true #1 receiver, another edge in the 2nd, then go BPA after that. Will Johnson if T-Mac is gone. Horn and Johnson, sheesh. 

Sounds great. In theory.

Vrabel seems like a perfect fit for the Browns' job.  Ohio State product, Super Bowl Champion--I see the Browns hiring from within.

Personally, I would like to see Leslie Frazier here.  I think, in today's NFL, your DC needs to be very familiar with the defensive backs.  Horn would become great and if we sign Mike Jackson back, he would be even better.

Curry is my second choice--it depends on the type of Coordinator Canales is looking for....

Not Rivera, please. I just feel that he is not very smart--and I feel that he sacrificed Cam for his own career.  Just me--not looking for affirmation.

I agree on Ron 100%.

Rivera is also very aware of his surroundings and knows how to play office politics. There’s a reason he kept Shula around as long as he did. No head coach wants ron nipping at his heels  

qlthough in general I think this team would do better with rivera style football than Canales.

about returning to the 4-3---I think we have the personnel for it--maybe better than the 3-4. 

I think our Strong OLB/Edge players would be better in a 4-3 (speculation).   I think we'd need a true MLB, but Jewell and Wallace could provide depth or play outside.  I also think Windom could fit in better as a 4-3 OLB--in college, he played LB and defensive end--could he be a swiss Army knife?  Seriously, add a stud MLB, DT, and Edge/4-3 DE...that is 3 players added to a defensive roster that should improve....

In fairness to Evero--who got exposed by the Dallas Cowboys (do not underestimate the intelligence of McCarthy), he did lose Burns, Action Jackson, Gross-Matos, Shaq, Chinn, Luvu, and Brown from last season to this season--but he was outcoached vs. Dallas.

Just another two seasons of retooling our 3-4 defensive roster for 4-3; all because we never drafted an NT for the 3-4.

To be fair our defense is a thrown together mess.  I wouldn't say we have a lot more players who specifically fit a 34 than a 43.  We've just been throwing stuff at the wall to try to piece something together.

Without an offseason to transfer over we are already better aligned to a 4-3. Wallace would fall in the Will LB role, Jewell in the Sam LB role. We would need to go out there and find a solid Mike LB. 

You have your interior guys with Brown and Robinson. Wonnum and Clowney can play 4-3 DE and the DBs don't change much. The only guys left out are Barno and Johnson and we aren't missing much. 

This is without a free agency and a draft. It will fall in together nicely after that.

He had a top 5 Defense in San Diego as the DC and it took him 8 years to be hired as a head coach.  Junior Seau and company--there has to be a reason.  When I talked to him at OTAs, he was not impressive.  Remember, he made the comment about being a left handed left tackle and some of his game management decisions were super stupid--and with Cam Newton at QB, he never had back to back winning seasons.  Now take Mike Tomlin--he has never had a losing season--Kenny Pickett, etc.  at QB.  That is a coach.

Our biggest weakness right now is DT/DE in the 3-4. I think we might be better equipped to run the 4-3 than a 3-4 right now.  (Have not given it a lot of thought, but I can put it on paper quickly.)

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
