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.

they'll probably do both, since the restructuring of Kemo and Lewis. Robertson is still young and would be on the line for years. (he's 27)

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 wonder if this was the reason that Trgovac left. Fox and Del Rio ran a base scheme very similar to the Tampa 2 back in 02 and then Fox and 1st year DC Trgovac ran the same style again in 03.

Flash forward and as time went on Fox allowed Trgovac to "develop" his own defensive philosiphy. By the time last year came about the Panthes were playing a Cover 3 style of scheme and as everyone has pointed out the CB were playing 10 yards off the reciever. You never saw that happen in 02-03 seasons.

Most on here thought the Lewis hire as secondary coach was a Fox hire. What if that was a Trgovac hire? I think Fox might have told Trgovac that his scheme was no longer working and that they were going to change. That would make sence as to why he decided not to take the contract extension and said the comments about working in Carolina.

I just have this feeling that Meeks' style is more in tune with how Fox wants to play defense and that this pairing could produce something special. I think the fact that Fox is already giving Meeks leway in designing his own scheme (don't forget he did the same with Davidson when he came in two years ago which resulted in a very successful season) dismisses some of the percieved opinions about Fox and his unwillingness to compromise.

In any event it means we need some more power at defensive end. At the end of the day, no matter what scheme we're running we need pass rush.

One thing I wouldn't be overly surprised to see is if we bring Derrick Brooks in for something of a look to take over Diggs' spot at the OLB position, or at least let him compete. Sure Brooks is old, but if he's motivated he'll be a force even as a part time player.

      Canales is holding us back

      I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By hepcat · Posted

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
