Carolina a potential landing spot for Mebane?

Recommended Posts

After failing to reach a long-term deal prior to the lockout, free agent DT Brandon Mebane no longer believes he'll be back in Seattle for the 2011 season.

"I feel like I wasn't in their plans," said Mebane. "And I feel like I have the right to think that because I got a third-round tender. If they really wanted me, they had plenty of time to do what they had to do." Mebane has a good point, and he's likely to draw plenty of interest at the third-round level. Potential landing spots include Denver, Tennessee, Cleveland, Chicago, and Carolina.

So he had 31 tackles and 1 sack in 2010. Why would we pay big bucks to pick him up when Landri had better numbers than that with 43 tackles and 3 sacks. I would want an upgrade which I am not sure he is. There is a reason Seattle isn't resigning him.

I'd rather have Cofield, but both should come pretty cheap. If CJ and one of these guys, maybe hardy or the rookie DT can get us 15-20 sacks we will be in good shape. Cofield will eat guys up.These are the best DT prospects other than guys like Haynesworth...?

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
