How Ironic !!


SKULL

Recommended Posts

Capers, 58, has spent the last 23 years in the NFL, working as among other things the first head coach of both the Panthers and the Texans, and the defensive coordinator of the Steelers, Jaguars, and Dolphins.

Another former Steelers defensive coordinator, and two-time former head coach, remains in the running as well — Jim Haslett

PANTHERS NEED D. C .

Capers is a 3-4 guy. Despite the occasional Huddle posts that say we need to consider it and the fact that we do use it from time to time, we don't have the personnel for it. It would be several years before we would be competitive using it exclusively.

With our personnel at the present, I'd rather pass...

Do you not think Connor, Anderson, or Seward could be the second guy in the middlle with Beason?

Kemo would be fine as an NT, and Pep and Brayton are probably both fit for a 3-4 pretty well..

I think we are capable of running the 3-4, but I just don't know if Fox wants to make the permanent switch...

Kemo would be a fine nose guard. Peppers would be able to adjust. Not sure about Brayton and definitely concerned about the bulk of the linebackers to run it. You need linebackers who are more like defensive ends body-wise to pull it off effectively and we don't have that, IMO...

We do have speed at LB though, and that helps a lot in the 3-4.. Also, I think the plan would be to let Pep line up on the outside more times that not, moving either Davis or Diggs inside, depending on which side we want to rush (or make them think we are rushing)..

Who knows, it might work? I just don't know...

Thomas Davis and Hilee Taylor would be very good DE/OLBs. Brayton is just not a LB and we saw that from his Raiders days.

They compare real close in bulk to Steelers starting 4

Woodley 6'2"265 Peppers 6'7" 283 or Taylor 6'2"250

Farrior 6'1" 239 Connor 6'2" 231

Foot 6'2"243 Beason 6'0"237

Harrison 6'0"242 Davis 6'0" 240

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
