Given the choice next season, do you...

Defensive line. I firmly believe, with a stronger defense we could have won us at least 4-5 games this season. I don't believe the right side of our line lost us that many games.

I will rest with Otah and Schwartz coming back from injury and/or Bell improvement. We don't need to aquire any player to improve the right side of the line.

The only significant injury on the Dline was Edwards.. and we still don't know how significant he truly was. How good can he be? Aquiring Dline is pertinent to the success of our team.

At some time we need to replace LT, but right now...especially after watching the playoffs, a dominant line is necessary.

I loved our line with Pep, Buck, Jenks, and Rucker. Would love to see something like this in our near future.

Also, will Ziemba come back with some talent?

D-line all day.

Get an OLB in FA. Same with FS, at least for depth. Draft the best d-lineman available that will help our pass rush and follow up with a CB. Perhaps swap out the order of DL and CB depending on how the draft falls, but we have to get better on D.

At RT we potentially have Otah, Bell and Gary Williams. At RG, Schwartz and possibly Hangman should we bring him back. I think that is okay for now.

Coming back next season on the O-Line...

Geoff Schwartz

Jeff Otah (maybe; not liking the odds)

Garry Williams

Bryant Browning

Over on the defensive side...

Ron Edwards

Sione Fua (3rd round pick)

Terrell McClain (3rd round pick)

Jon Beason (LB)

Thomas Davis (maybe)

Thomas Williams

Don't know about anyone else, but I see more talent coming back on the defensive side of the ball. Now granted some might not consider Fua and McClain as 'talent' but they were third round picks.

I'm not convinced Schwartz is a starter. Worse, I'm not convinced either of the guys who, at least for the moment, are starters (Hangman and Bell) should be. I'd be more comfortable with all three as backups, and I have a feeling Otah is gone.

Guess I'm one of the few that wants to see the offensive side of the line addressed with as much urgency as the defense.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
