Improved D-Line play = Improved CB play

Same as it ever was.

The defensive backfield is always the first to catch hell when not defending passing plays well, but the issue here has been more the defensive line not getting any pressure the entire last season and for the beginning of this one.

Now that the D-Line is getting the needed pressure, the defensive backfield (with the exception of Nak) looks like a promising young group. I feel bad for Gamble, he would be looking like an all pro cornerback now that the D-Line isn't allowing 5 seconds per play.

Our line has also had coverage sacks though as well, there were times Rg3 couldn't find anyone open. But I will still give credit where credit is due.... CJ, Magic Dwan Edwards, Alexander and Hardy are putting in WORK.

Still think we should get a DT in the draft anyway though.

Many sacks have come after a full 5 mississippis of the QB sitting in the pocket.

Improved CB play = improved line play.

Both units are stepping up and complimenting each other. We no longer have a group on Defense that is hanging the other group out to dry.

Both the DL and DB's are putting in solid work.

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

      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.
