You talking Saints** record this year or why a full offseason with a new coaching staff and scheme will make Carolina worse in the coming year?

umm no, im talking about our record from last year, which is why we are ranked where we are. i dont know why you are getting upset over fuging power rankings dood. i mean yeah i think we'll get better but i can live with that ranking for now. i know huddlers think the panthers are number 1 every day but still. its understandable where we are. id put us at around 15 or so if i were to make a list

We were higher earlier in the offseason because people assumed we would address our biggest needs at some point during the offseason. We haven't done that, hence the drop.

Actually we did.

Our horrific LB play was a MUCH BIGGER issue than DT. It contributed to the majority of the issues we had in the run game.

So the Saints went down 2 spots not having a first or second round pick and the player bounty punishment looming. Panthers went down 3 spots after having an excellent draft because Cam bought a condo? Fug you Sando. ESPN is starting the b.s early this season. What a p.o.s comment. Totally worthless.

We didn't address the national view of what this team needed......the national view is still out of touch and not paying attention. Like when they wanted Fox to draft pass catching TEs every year when reality was Fox viewed TEs as blockers.

Go back and watch us in some of the beatdowns our D recieved.....there were more glaring issues than DT play.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
