Meeks isn't a stop gap or a puppet. He is a bend don't break kind of guy who knows how to coach zone defense. Zone done well can be just as effective as a man coverage. Meeks knows what he is doing and Fox hired him to do a better job than was done by Trgo and Lewis over the past 2 years.

I am not a big passive zone proponent, in fact you could say I absolutely hate it. Still if you are committed to running this scheme as Fox appears to be, then you could do a lot worse than hire Ron Meeks.

I agree with you. The thing that scares me the most is that the team wanted to keep Trgovac, and he walked. He wasn't fired. So the team believing he can do a better job? Hmm.. It presents a question.

3. No changes

We been running a soft zone coverage, letting front 4 get to the QB. Same thing Indy ran. No blitzes, no man to man, no bump and run. Thats why dude was hired

Indy had a DL that has been able to get pressure w/ the front 4 like some older Panther teams. We will get abused like we did all this year......next year. It would be like putting Jake in shotgun and going 5 wide all game despite having a run blocking OL and 2 great RBs. We don't have the DL to do that and won't have it next year.

      NBC Sports 2026 NFL GM rankings

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers.

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
