After 1 day of FA, do you feel better about the defense?

[rayzor]

Simple question. For me it's an easy yes, we are in much better shape. Not necessarily a top 10, but us improving even to 20 or so would be a huge leap and i think we've got a front that could probably get us trending that way. 

looks like what the power trio of Morgan/Tilis/Canales did with the OL last year they are doing to the DL so i'm excited. 

it's still early in FA, but i really like what ive seen.

We were one of the worst defenses in NFL history... so yes I would say any additions we could've/would've/did make/made us better. How much better? We will find out.

[Jon Snow]

I'm hard to impress so I said it's too early to say.

[PanthersNCSU]

No where to go but up 

If a couple of the moves pan out, we're a Top 20 defense, which is probably all we can ask for right now.  A top 20 defense wins us a couple more games last year. IF we continue to get new Bryce, plus the additions, I think we've got a shot at competing for the division.

Most promising thing is a legit 34 nose tackle. At least we can see if it works now ha

[Icege]

Impressed with the amount of three to four years deals in place. Not many 1yr rentals.

[Donald LaFell]

Getting more big guys was so important. Anyone we draft on defense will be so much more effective. They can double up on edge or maybe get a LB now. An undersized Jalon Walker doesn’t look as bad if we know he’ll have some 1:1 opportunities(still don’t want him). 

[Bear Hands]

DL: Brown/Brown III/A’Shawn (Wharton, Tuttle, Crumedy)

OLB rotation: Clowney/Wonnum/Jones II/Barno/DJJ

ILB: Jewell/Trevin/Incoom

CB: Horn/Jackson/Smith-Wade

S: Moehrig/TBD/Richardson

It’s no doubt improved but safety still has an hole (draft methinks), edge rusher and corner are still very upgradable (draft as well)

[uncfan888]

It can't be any worse.. So yeah, I'm feeling better about it

[raleigh-panther]

Evero, and his somewhat changed staff,  needs to perform this year

’historically bad’ a bridge too far for me

[CPF4LIFE]

More optimistic, I think we can stop the run now. Pass rush still an issue and need a true free safety.

[PadresPanthersFan]

I'd say yes. Evero has no more excuses. Either the defense drastically improves or he's gone

[frankw]

On paper we've made improvements no doubt. Especially along the DL which is what I wanted. But we have paid a lot of money to do so. I'm in prove it mode with Evero currently. We need progress big time. No excuses.

[travisura]

Ask me after the draft, but on paper the defense has improved.
