The Beason Effect

Haven't seen anyone else mention it yet...

It seemed like the run D picked up after Connor came in for Beasty. My initial thought is that Beason was out there playing hurt, so he couldn't play anywhere near full speed.

For whatever reason, I am glad that we kept Dan, and I hope he continues the good work.

TD will have to pick up the on-field leadership role. Connor will do fine against the run; it's the pass that worries me. Beason is the best coverage LB in the game and Connor... isn't.

We'll have to either compensate for this in the scheme or find someone who can at least be decent in coverage. Thomas Willams maybe? He seems like someone who could explode if given the chance to play.

Thomas Williams' knock has been that he is slow, he is basically a poor mans Connor, he will be great in run defense but average to poor in pass coverage. I'd guess that Gaither will be the sub used on passing downs.

Connor, to me, is as good against the run as Beason. But there is no denying that Beason is purely better than Connor in pass coverage. It's going to hurt not having the middle of the field being patrolled like Beason does it, but with the way we blitz, it won't kill us.

Yep, even RR in his presser yesterday mentioned that difference, called Dan a two down LB whereas Beason has the cvg skills to be an everydown LB. Said Connon could cover but that's not the ideal situation for him.

      that makes us way too light (literally).  I'm not certain Jimmy Horn could run block on the outside if Bryce Young was there up against him.    I'm not anti Horn coming in.  I think think Renfrow probably running too much volume.  He is too quirkly to be running that high of a % in this scheme IMO.  So give Horn some pass down only work and spell Renfrow a little.  I think you need a bigger body on the outside.  Tremayne makes the most sense to me.

      How dare fans be upset when Tepper makes us slog through this embarrassing thing he calls professional football, especially when us pathetic nobodies have been right about the draft, free agents, and front office/coaching moves in general than those being paid millions.

      It's not like he's a Greg Hardy or Deshaun Watson.  Those are bad people in a totally different way than Smitty is a "bad person" like you say. Being a jerk shouldn't factor into where he ranks amongst other players in a franchise's history. Luke's career was too short, Peppers left on his own for half his career before returning at the end, and Cam, for as great as he was, was still a very up and down passer who couldn't lead us to back to back winning seasons (don't hate on me, Cam is my Quarterback, love him to death, but just calling it objectively like I see it). Smitty was a special teams draft pick who's dog mentality drove him to a HOF career as a truly 1 of 1 type of player for his position.  There has never been before, or since, a player of Smith's size who plays the WR position the way he did. Don't like him all you want, but he's still the Panthers GOAT, sorry.
