Rivera's defense requires a strong LB corps and nothing more than an average and non-poo Dline. As long as they are better than last year our defense will be vastly improved. You're basing your knowledge of how defenses work on a very simplistic and biased view.

Why don't you say what you're implying? Rivera's defense requires LB's who have strong blitzing capabilities. Let me just check Kuechly's resume as a strong pass rusher real quick...

Sounds like a pretty simplistic and biased view to me.

Not true, especially not out of all the LB positions, and just because he wasn't asked to blitz at BC doesn't mean he lacks the capability. With his athletic measurables he can very well transition to a very good blitzer. I don't however think that will be what he's asked to do. I think the blitzing will primarily come form the two other LB positions and he will be asked to zone cover.

His only response to this will probally be to cuss you out.

Our twin rookie 3 round pick DT got physically dominted in their first year. They will be great.

Wrong, and our line play improved as the year went along. By the end of the year, our interior Dline rotation was more than serviceable.

So we just spent a 9th overall pick on a guy who

A ) we hope can fit our defensive scheme if another guy gets injured

B ) will replace the guy who broke the team record for tackles last year.

Which one of those is it

No, I just reserve that for you and your idiotic and simplistic quips that prove no point whatsoever other than to show that you know nothing about what you are attempting to debate.

I'm not sure, he's a very versatile player, I could see him taking TD's spot on the weakside and playing a lot of zone cover with some edge blitzing, which I think is the most likely scenario. He could even play the middle and we could move Beason outside again, but I don't that that happens. Realistically he could play all three positions.

The only reason that Anderson had so many tackles is because the rest of our defense was in shambles due to injury. Anderson was supposed to be third best linebacker on the field, not the best player on the whole front 7. Not to take anything away from Anderson, because I think that he's a great ball player, but lets be honest here.

do people really think our dline is any good? lol

i think cuntly will be a good player, not hating that we got him. though i think we would have been better off adding a position that typically makes a bigger impact on actually winning games.

same way i didn't like us taking two 1st round running backs even though i like stewart as a player. there are better ways to build a team and that's pretty obvious.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
