How Ironic !!

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

    • Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.
    • Oh good for them! Hope this is the start of a long happy time in their lives here.
    • There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
