So much for re-signing Shirley...

Don't worry guys, Hurney and Ron will pick up someone else's trash in a few weeks. Everyone here will say he'll shine because he's getting a fresh start, and they'll remind us all about diamonds in the rough. #superbowl

Our D-Line will be average again no matter what happens in the next few weeks. Deal with it.

Not doomed but our DL is poo until proven otherwise....

Doesn't help

If they are going to dump Neblett and replace him I doubt they would have any problems finding a replacement of eqaul caliber.

It was poo last year with two rookies, no offseason, no vet presense and a new system- none of which is the case this season.

Ron Edwards is an old DT who has never played a down here....coming off an injury. Hope he can go but can't ink him back in like you can Beason.

Still a one man DL until guys become more than potential....

He's coming off a tricep tear, no exactly a life altering injury. He's a NT who was there for eveythinh last year, it's not like it'll be brand new for him.

I wasnt worried about the DL predraft and I'm not particularly worried now.

I am not overly worried....Edwards is just a 33 DT who has never played a down here. I don't expect him to solve the issues and be a legit starter for 16 games.

Will be up to the LBs and Rivera's D scheme that makes or breaks the front 7 play....and I am fine w/ that. I am looking forward to it. So tired of safe and conservative base D that we have seen for seasons....

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
