Maybe this lights a fire under Princely. There may be truth to the Evero scheme  criticism and generating pressure. Though it could be they expect more from edge than just pressure and Princely needs to develop.

If Princely can figure it out, Evero could really have some pieces.

1st and 2nd down - Phillips/Scourton

3rd down - Phillips kicks inside w/ DB, Scourton/Princely off the EDGE w/ Lloyd and Moehrig patrolling.

I think you can also move Scourton inside like that too. Hopefully Wharton can stay healthy get going this year

From NFL reporter Matt Lombardo:

The Carolina Panthers, at the time of signing, committed the most money in NFL history to a free agent pass rusher, plucking Jaelan Phillips from the Philadelphia Eagles, on a deal that includes $80 million fully guaranteed.

Now in Carolina, Phillips is the centerpiece of an ascending defense that produced just 30 sacks while backing into the NFC Playoffs.

Only eight edge rushers produced more pressures than Phillips’ 73 last season, which included 57 hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, which makes it easy to see why a Panthers organization that is looking to take the next step would pay a major premium at a premium position.

In a division as wide open as the NFC South, Phillips and Derrick Brown are as formidable a duo up front as there is, certainly good enough to power a playoff push.
