End of season poll: D-line

Recommended Posts

I've seen this talked about here and there and wanted to just throw it out there:

Are you ok with what we have on the defensive line?

A lot of people somehow seem comfortable with a slightly above average 33 year old vet coming off an injury, 3 sophomore DTs with the undrafted one the only that showed something, surprises and strong rotational guys in Shirley, Keiser, and Applewhite, then you got Nebbles.

We have a stud in CJ and Hardy keeps looking better and better...so...

What do you see happening? & What do you want to happen?

defensive line is one of the positions that benefits most from an offseason conditioning system. glad that fua, mcclain, keiser get what hardy didn't get coming off his rookie season. still a young group, though applewhite-calibre players will always be welcome. doubt any splash FA signings, but expect D-line draft pick in any round, if the value is right. focus on pass rushing difference makers.

Watching the Giants reminds me how far a monster DL can take a team! Can't throw to the receiver they gave up so much for when JPP and Tuck are getting to Matty Ice within seconds!

Yes we need a true #2 CB and if lucky get someone better than Gamble and let Gamble be our #2, but if we find a DE that can better Hardy and maybe CJ and beef up our interior then our defense improves greatly..............even with Martin in the secondary. Hardy being our third DE on the depth chart is a good problem and people need to start looking at it that way!

Agreed I have been thinking the same thingIt almost there DTs and DEs are interchangible.They all bring pressure .They torched the Birds today

    • I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.
    • holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
    • Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
