Great against the pass. He moves double teams backwards and puts constant pressure on QB. He reminds a lot of little bit leaner Fletcher Cox.

Terrible against the run. He puts so much effort on getting after QB that he creates massive holes for RB to run through. Terrible sideline to sideline speed. He will not chase anyone from behind.

He fits Carolina scheme perfectly. He will create massive holes for our LBs to blitz through. He will be a difference maker on passing downs.

I don't think Coples is top 10 pick. He's very raw. He make's many mental errors but he's very talented. He's 15-25 pick but not top 10. I trust Hurney tho.

Screw Hurney...I trust RIVERIA.....If he thinks Coples is worth the pick then dammit he worth the pick...Its no way he would let Hurney just pick what Defensive player he wanted to pick without his input....Riveria hasn't had 2 teams with #1 defenses for nothing

Do people not see what I see when watching tape on Coples? It's not the flashy highlights, it's how well a player handles the guy across from him, double teams and his presence forcing teams to run to the other side of the field. If Rivera believes in Coples enough to draft him then I already feel sorry for opposing offenses. Rivera knows his stuff better than anyone on this board and if I had to bet, Coples or Cox will be the pick.

My 2 Cents:

If it weren't for his sub-par senior season, which raised questions about his work ethic and desire, Coples would be a slam dunk. So the question is, was his performance the result of inherent personality traits or the circumstances at UNC? I believe that's what the front office is trying to figure out by visiting his home, and if they are convinced it has more to do with circumstance, they'll draft him.

I think investigating Cam taught the FO a lot about how to look for character in men and ignore the media speculation, so if they are comfortable, so am I.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
