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

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
