Derek Landri and Barry Cofield


Recommended Posts

I wouldnt mind seeing the panthers make a move for cofield in free agency he is still young at 27. he and landri would be 2 good starters for us at the d tackle positions.then draft another tackle in the 3rd round or 2nd when we trade back into the 2nd. people think landri isnt that good, but he had comparable stats to cofield last season,and believe it or not, landri was top 10 in tackles for loss in the nfl for defensive tackles.

Landri definately impressed. He'll continue to get better, esppecially if we can put a dominate tackle beside him.

:iagree:

Landri is one of those types of players that can take advantage of other teams focusing on a top rated DT. I would have loved to see what he would have done next to a healthy Jenkins or Kemo.

Not good enough to main DT but good enough to be highly productive.

Landri was great at slipping through gaps vs. the run, but he struggled to provide pass rush. He is a solid roational player.

I saw that the Panthers were talking (2 mos. ago) to Purnell McPhee, a DE from Miss St. He is not an effective pass rusher at 285 lbs from the end position. I could not help but wonder if we might be considering him at the 3 technique, where he would be a good pass-rushing DT--maybe. He is tall and could add 10 pounds. Nice compliment to Landri, who we need to re-sign before anything else

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
