i'm kind of disturbed that neblett and practice squad scrubs/7th round rookies/UDFA are helping our run D more than the 3rd round rooks we selected ourselves.

whatever works though, i guess. rivera mentioned in his presser today that shirley did a solid job except on one play he flushed ryan outside when the blitz was coming up the middle iirc.

Rookie DT's not named Suh take time to develop.

I think everyone here understands that DT's need time to develop. That doesn't mean that they should play damn near every snap for the first 9 games to the detriment of the rest of the team.

If they need development time, put them behind someone better and use them in a rotation until they prove they can handle it.

Keeping them on the field at all costs this year has been, imo, asinine.

Overall I've been impressed with our DTs since our two 3rd rounders got put on IR, though personally I do think Mcclain had his moments.

Unfortunately our corners got the poo exposed out of them. Butler can play but he isn't going to win every battle, and he needs safety help often. Would be a better nickle I think.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
