Panthers Switching to 3-4 Defense...

.....ummm did I miss something? NFL.com's Michael Lombardi seems to know something that we don't. In his latest article, "32 Questions for 32 Teams Going into Training Camp" he has our question being revolved around us switching to the 3-4.

Carolina Panthers: How will the switch to the 3-4 defense affect their personnel? Do they have enough edge pressure to be successful? Will Charles Johnson be able to handle the edge? Carolina logged just 31 sacks as a team last year, with Johnson notching nine. Who is going to emerge as a rusher and help this defense get off the field? The Panthers were the worst three-and-out defense in the NFL last year.

Ummm this guy is nuts or just mixed up. Haven't heard nothing from Ron Rivera about switching to a 3-4. Yes Ron might call for a 3-4 set every once in awhile during a game this coming year. But we will remain in 4-3 mainly. This guy has no idea what he is talking about. LOL

Why would Rivera bother to tell the media? That's his business. If Michael has inside info, so be it. Rivera likes the 3-4 so lots of us here knew it could always happen. If anyone can make it work with the roster we have, it's him.

      Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."

      Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...

      Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
