Is it Meeks that we dislike, or the Tampa 2 style defense?

i'm done with tampa 2 zone

put it down

magazu sucks, just my opinion

The O-line has been crappy this year, but he's worked magic the past few years. Magazu is top notch.

Any good reason, or are you just bored with it?

when i think of tough, stingy formidable defense today i don't think of soft 4 man rush zone cover schemes

I think the scheme is fine. With some personnel upgrades it could be just as stingy as the most aggressive 3-4.

Debating if you think Meeks has done well is really pointless. New coach next year = new staff

Yeah, he'll probably keep some people, but I think he's gonna put some time into finding a DC & OC suiting his system. Its very unlikely Meeks returns.

Anyone think that the reason why our special teams has been decent this year is the simple reason that this off season we actually attempted to improve the team and fix the problem with special teams. We made promoted Jeff Rodgers and then we signed some key special teams players like Marcus Hudson and Wallace Wright who has yet to play for the panthers due to injury. I really hope Wright's injury isn't serious because I believe he could help our special teams because he has a pretty good history with the Jets special teams. In fact most of the very few players we did sign in free agency were players known to be good special team players. I think special teams is very important but the players don't really get as much attention as the offense and defense players but I love watching special teams and think it plays a very important role to winning.

I read Jeff Rodgers biography on panthers.com and it seems that he is a very good special teams coach. I don't think he will be kept next year due to us getting a new staff but I wouldn't mind keeping him. Heres the bio I read

I wouldn't place any bets on Rodgers being kept, honestly. But I'd be okay with it if they did.

On defense, already mentioned Baker and Smith. Would love to see Sam Mills III stay around too (admittedly for sentimental reasons).

Offense? Fair or not, as bad as it's been I'd say anybody not named Geep Chryst has a pretty good shot of being elsewhere next season, and Chryst's chances are tied to Jim Harbaugh being the head coach.

The OL gets way to much credit for our run game and not enough blame for the passing attack (or lack of).
