Can't say I disagree.....

The loss of Thomas Davis (knee) for the season is brutal. I was extremely high on Davis before his series of major knee injuries. He was ready to explode onto the scene as one of the premier 4-3 outside linebackers. But football is a rough sport and injuries happen, so discussing Davis further is a rather moot point.

The acquisition of Jamar Williams was extremely timely and he will make the loss more bearable. Williams didn't play a ton of snaps for the Chicago Bears, as Lance Briggs is entrenched on the weak side in Chicago. When Williams did get on the field, he played exceptionally well. As much as I like Davis, the drop-off might not be massive...

Good write-up. I think the idea of having jamar williams instead of dan connor is a good thing also. Im not too sure about jamar williams but I have seen Dan connor play before and I wasn't all that impressed.

I was under the impression no man could impress you anyway. ;)

Jamar Williams was mana from heaven, considering he was a throw-in to the Harris trade. You don't register 18 tackles in a single game by accident, this guy has been ready to explode for a few years in Chicago and will have great success here.

Granted losing Davis is a loss but I feel we lose very little because of the talent we still have at LB. Williams is a very competent and when the Bears lost Biggs Williams stepped up.

What I would like to see is a discussion on how will we get pressure on the qb.Does anyone have any insight on how Meeks can pull this off? I would love to know.Can Norwood be an impact player on sacks.Can our tackles get enough push on the qb?I do not see a DE that will get consistant pressure on the QB?Will we blitz?

I know there are people in this forum that have far greater insight than I do and I would like to see more discussion surrounding our DL:rolleyes:

this.

Keep Beason in the middle, and let Jamar and Anderson man the other LB spots.

I agree. Beason is one of the best MLBs in the game. Why mess with that?

WLB is more important than MLB in Meek's defense than MLB. On top of that, they were giving Davis some pretty big responsibilities. That's why they've been experimenting with Beason at WLB.

At this point when Reggie Bush spilts out to the slot I would rather see Beason on him than Jamar Williams. I think Jamar Williams may end up being a steal. He isn't going to take long to grasp the defense and he did look very good in his limited playing time.

Pre-season will be fun to watch all the experiments.

It's been looking like there's a good chance we'll run Connor at Mike, Beason at Will and Anderson at Sam. Is Williams more suited to play SLB or WLB? I think at this point Anderson is pretty cemented in at the Strong-side. If Williams could do well at WLB it would allow us to keep Beason in the middle.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
