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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
