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

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
