I asked him at OTAs earlier this month. He said LB, but they were going to move him around and "turn him loose" like they did at USC. I think the Panthers are replacing Peppers by committee-possibly creating a third down front seven, and I imagine the energy level on third downs will be intense.

I'm with you. It's really reassuring that, even if he doesn't crack the starting lineup (I don't think he will or should), the coaching staff wants to utilize this guy's talents by just "turning him loose." I like what I've heard about Norwood, and I'm really excited to watch him play.

I also agree with you that we'll be seeing a bit more blitzing from the linebackers this year. At the same time, I think Johnson and Brown will both do pretty well.

I'll say this -- we should have a really fast defense. Let's hope it works out.

Of course. Who would have thought he'd be taken in the third round? ;)

Just to add on to the "yes" answer...anytime you take a QB and plan to turn him into a WR,thats usually a sleeper.Thats if Edwards can wake up on sundays. He's used to doing his work on saturdays

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
