Young, fast, energetic and motivated. Ron Meeks' style of defense is progressing ahead of schedule. Yeah, it's the Jets, but look what we did against the first team.

Mark my words, people: The Panthers will be a top seven squad. Top five, if special teams and the offense play smartly.

Enjoy our defense people, you're seeing something special in the making.

I have to admit, even though I was never as worried about the DT position as most people, I never would have guessed that Derek Landri would be as good as he has looked so far. It looks like this team is better and deeper at DT than even us optimistic folks would have thought.

BTW, the Panthers set themselves up for that big 3rd down draw play by showing a 3 man line. They pretty much made that one a no brainer call for the Jets.

I knew you guys would come around.

In the off season, when everybody was claiming our defense would suck, I reminded y'all that our head coach is still a defensive man. Knowing fox is the guy/coach he is, ii didn't see the reason to be giving up on defense expectations.

Going young across the line was something we've needed for a couple of years now.

Change happens...but keep the faith.

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

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
