Right now....no. A defense heavy draft with quality picks and smart FA moves will be big for this team. No projects or lame guys coming off injuries would help. The 2025 and 2026 drafts (if worked right), they could be back in shape.

That's a heavy lift in one offseason with the caps space they are sitting on.

How quickly people forget Derrick Brown is not a 43 DT. He's a DE & only fits a 34 scheme. Relying on Brown to control gaps for the run is crazy talk. He needs to bull rush and slant inside with someone else doing the outside contain.

I still don't think Tepper will ever decide to away from the Steeler 34 defense he loves so much.

Wanting to force a 4i tech DL into a 2 or 3 tech is asking to have the center of your defense ripped open. It's bad enough Ekwonu is playing LT, Young is playing in the pocket, Horn is forced to play umbrella zone, Shaq is forced to play ILB, and XL is forced to play over the middle. If you want to win, then you play these players at their strength position/role for most of their snaps.

I like you and all. But crack is bad.

Brown played 4-3 in college and will do just fine in a 3T next to Mason Graham.

For those hoping for a 4-3, I think it’s a pipe dream. Tepper is from Pittsburgh where 3-4 was been run for many years.

Evero will be leaving, Saleh is a friend of Caneles, so chances are that may be the new DC. So we will stay in the 3-4.

i have said from the beginning that without a good NT a 3-4 will never stop the run.

so if Evero or Saleh is here, we still need a solid NT

I think Saleh is a 4-3 guy, right? It is an attacking 4-3 that would fit Brown really well imo.

Maybe thats why Rhule ran the 3-3. He gives off the impression he is building a 3-4 and then walked Burns to the line for a 4-3 each time.

Yeah. He runs a lot of 4-3 over which utilizes the 3-tech more. Rivera/McDermott used to run a lot of 4-3 under which gave you a lot of flexibility with your Will LB (Thomas Davis). 

In SF, Saleh would run a lot of 4-2-5 with a "Big Nickel". We used to use Shaq in that role here when we had a similar defense.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
