Panthers interested in DT Robertson

There's a lot in how you define it. Technically the Colts scheme under Meeks is a unique variant all its own. I tend to concentrate on the core principle because the variants tend to be based largely on personnel differences.

My take: It will be Cover 2 because you're not going to see the kind of overly undersized defense you saw with the Colts. Even with a somewhat revamped roster, we have too many larger players to suit that particular variant.

That's what I believe as well, I don't think we'll be strictly one variation of cover 2, I think Meeks will adapt it to fit our players and work with it.

He's a bad fit for the 3-4, but is much better suited to the 'undertackle' role he'd play here opposite Kemo. This would also return Lewis to the rotational role he played before if it happened.

Agreed, this guy is a 3 technique in a 4-3 and Denver is going to run a hybrid 3-4. He just didn't fit any longer.

I think it is important to note that the article stated that the defense will be moving to a variation of the Cover 2 / Tampa 2 defense. I know most fans are down on Fox as of late but the guy does have a great defensive mind. Putting Fox and Meeks, who I also feel has a great defensive mind, together might just produce a new defensive scheme like how Dungy and Kiffin were able to develop the Tampa 2 in the 90's.

I am actually not in favor of this because I feel like Maake Kemoeatu, Damione Lewis, Nick Hayden, Patrick MacDonald, Babatunde Oshinowo, and Lorenzo Williams can get the job done. I beleive they should focus on improving the Defensive Tackle position through the draft. Possibly checking out Sen'Derrick Marks, Alex Magee from Purdue, Terrill Byrd from Cincinnati, Will Johnson from Michigan, Clinton McDonald from Memphis, Mitch King from Iowa, and Ricky Jean-Francois from LSU. Any of these guys would be a good pick up for the CATS.

IF we could run our defense like Kffin ran Tampa for so many years, I would be very happy. An aggressive cover 2 is fine. My problems are more with the bend until we break passive cover 3 we ran this past fall. If Meeks can adapt as he goes and gameplan we will be 100% better right off the bat.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
