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.

      I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.

      Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
