C. Munnerlyn

Roy Williams may need to get a new tape measure. "Don't let Captain (Munnerlyn) fool you. He might be 5-foot-3, but he plays like he's 6-foot-5," Williams said of the Panthers CB. "So they have a great secondary, we're going to have to bring it to them this week." Munnerlyn is actually listed at 5-8.

Rivera also praised Captain on his defensive play and leadership during his latest presser, especially when Gamble went out vs The Jags with a concussion.

All in all good remarks for a guy a lot of you were calling no better then a Nickel Corner during the offseason.

People who thought Gamble and our cbs/secondary weren't good enough are idiots. They aren't the best, but easily good enough. That isn't where our defensive problems are. And they will look even better when our DTs get consistent penetration.

A better CB than anything we have would be a luxury, and we already spent on luxuries. We need a starting material DT, hopefully a rookie we already have, but if not in next year's draft we need a DT before CB imo.

I think our corners match up well against their small speedy receivers. We have physical corners who can get a good jam at the line of scrimmage. Thats how you them... CJ and Hardy will be putting their nuts on Cutler's chin before Hester and Knox get downfield. The pass rush will be key this week, as the Martz offense rarely runs the ball.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
