Trench Warfare


Leeroy Jenkins PhD

Recommended Posts

A very overlooked aspect of the game of football are the trenches, the offensive and defensive lines. Overlooked because they are not flashy, they do not score points, they are not the “superstars” of the league.

During the season of our super bowl run, we had warriors in the trenches. Our O-line consisted of Todd Steussie, Jeno James, Jeff Mitchell, Kevin Donnalley, and Jordan Gross with Hoover as the Full Back. Our defensive monsters Julius Peppers, Brentson Buckner, Kris Jenkins, and Mike Rucker.

TLDR?

At least get this point, when our team was good, there was no doubt in my mind we would be strong on the line on both sides of the ball. We could and did own the line of scrimmage. Our big uglies need a serious overhaul, or need to develop a mean streak, because they get worked over in the second half of every game we play. We have the specialty pieces in place, we need to bring in some muscle.

Exactly,..yesterday a friend asked me what is wrong with the panther d the last couple years. I said simple.....retirement....trades...and FA..injuries...bad drafts...bad player development. Also outside of beason, their has been lack of veteran leadership. The last leader I remember was minter. Thats a big gap inbetween leaders.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
