5 may be too many, I forgot about the game at Dallas, I would love for us go to their new stadium week 1 sunday night and give them a beatdown.

That would be great to hand them their first defeat in their new place. The only problem is they will probably schedule the Giants/Cowboys or something week 1. :(

I do't usually spent a lot of time speculating but this is how a 3-4 would look for us.

NT- Kemo

DE- Brayton

DE- yet to be named

OLB-Peppers

OLB- Hillee Taylor

ILB Beason

ILB-Davis/Connor

Secondary- same as it currently is.

Bottom line is that we could easily find a big DE/DT type and use most of our same guys in a 3-4 without major changes. Bottom line is that I am fine with a 4-3 as well but we could actually run a 3-4 without major issues. I know that Taylor and Peppers haven't played in a 3-4 but I think both have the speed and athleticism to play in it.

Most teams like to have big inside LBs for a 3-4 but Sam Mills proved the smaller inside LB could be a beast. If Peppers hangs around to play the OLB I'm sure he will drop some weight which will be no problem because it has always been a struggle for him to keep his weight up. He has plenty of speed and quickness to coverRBs TE and an occasional WR on the flat. Plus he might turn out to be a bigger version of LT on the pass rush from the outside. If thats what he really wants to do and he is happy we could see a new Julius Peppers playing with the gusto we saw the first couple of years he was here. If he is gone they will find somebody else to play in his position and the world keeps turning. I will be highly surprised to see Fox go to a 3-4.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
