Was thinking this myself. Might be good to rotate him in, or even start him until Beason gets his burst back and gets used to the bruises of playing in the NFL again. I expect Beason to be 100% once we come back from the bye, so yeah, maybe giving some Phillips some time would be a bad call.

I guess this is the new hot topic.

We would only start Phillips at MLB for a couple of reasons.

Reason #1: Beason is inactive. An active Beason would never be benched for Phillips.

Reason #2: The "loyalty" that has resulted in all of these questionable contract extensions is rearing its head on the depth chart. Despite Kuechly's long-term NFL projection being his natural and original position, the position he played in college when he was on pace to shatter the NCAA record books is being occupied by a player that has been all pro for us in the past. It may not be so much about not wanting to move Kuechly inside as it is not wanting to move Beason outside. The loyal coaches and managers just aren't ready to make the move. I think the time is now.

Dnt kidd yourself. Phillips is no starter in this league. Start him one game and the huddle is going to end up having 10 different threads of how bad Phillips is.

Mind as well start all the backups then if people already panicking over Beason. Nothing's wrong with Beaston. Quit overreacting.

Phillips wouldn't be able to drop back and cover his grandma. He's a poor man D. Connor.

I don't think that's true at all. He's a try-hard, tough linebacker that is his best playing downhill, sure. But he actually is quicker and faster than Connor in coverage. If he had to start, he could hold his own. He has the physical ability and just now seems to be developing in the mental aspect of the game.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
