Starting Defensive Tackle?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Now our starting defensive tackles shouldn't be starting?

Guess we shouldn't put any tackles on the field. Run a 2-5 hybrid system. That way davis, anderson, conner, and beason can all be on the field wrecking havoc!

Our tackles are playing pretty good. Are they elite? No. But there isn't a surplus of elite tackles in the nfl right now. In fact, we are getting pretty good play out of them. Better than most would admit.

We have been eaten alive by the run this year up the middle. Im sorry but thats no good. Our DTs are good by our standards maybe but not the league. Every team has run it right up the gut and gotten to the second level.

I think its a little of both. Im not sure if any or our DTs should be starting in the NFL. Really we have not seen a good duo since Lewis and Jenkins. I would not have called even them elite though.

Sorry, I'm thinking more along the lines of Jenkins and Buckner since the Panthers have had a dominant pair of DTs.

I think we are getting solid play.I would not say pretty good because come draft time DT should be at the top of the list.

I'd put offensive tackle as a much bigger need than a defensive tackle.

One could also make an argument that offensive guard is a bigger need than DT.

Now. The team still needs to draft BPA, but there are definate needs bigger than defensive tackle.

IDK..I would say DT is one if not our biggest need.

the Oline will look a lot better without so many in the box its still a need but I dont think its the top one. We need a DT that can push the pocket more

If you watch the games closely and actually know what you're looking at wouldn't you know whether or not a guy was improving? Or do people here let the opinions of others, for example :"Nick Hayden sucks!!!", influence their opinion of a player whether its true or not?

    • That depends on where he's at because if you look at his first 3 seasons before he got sick he had 49 rec as a rookie followed by 56 and then his pro bowl season he had 103 rec. If he's somewhere between seasons 2 and 3 then that wouldn't be bad at all. We'll have to wait and see but from the few clips I've seen and the comments I've heard and read I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. Personally, I'm really pulling for him and I think he's going to be the comeback player of the year. 
    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
