broncos game should put us ahead of green bay!!!! Green bay has a bye next week.

http://sports.yahoo....=106&timeframe=

the question i have, is if by chance we are #1 in sacks, and we stay there.. and we have a solid lb core.. then can we focus ALLLLLLLLL of our efforts on upgrading the secondary? or should we go with o line, and try to pick up a good free agent or 3rd round cb/safety

sorry about that guys, my phone posted before i was done

No, the only spot in the secondary that really commands attention is the FS spot, IMO. Plus, Ron is old, Fua sucks and a guy like Star will probably be available so I think you have to take him, or someone like him. Games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage.

I want DT in the first, FS/WR in the second and FS/WR in the third and I do think we'll obtain a 3rd.

For what it's worth. We are 20th in the league in rushing yards allowed per game, yet 13th in passing. Our secondary isn't nearly as bad as people want to believe, and it's actually getting better as the season has progressed. By the same token, our run D has VASTLY improved over the last four games, since Keek took over the middle.

My point is, that our defense is fairly solid and is relatively young, so the smart move would be to begin to replace your oldest parts. Those would be DT and one CB.

i honesly think were going to be getting rid of 34 or 28. (not that i want to) and we will have an extra pick early, or a substantial trade. but yes i agree. it starts in the trenches, and if you look at history, all the dynastys control of the line of scrimmage.

I agree, but I think we're good at CB as far as spending a high pick on a replacement. The Josh's are playing well, Captain is a great fit at nickel and on ST's and Gamble isn't THAT old. However, Nakamura just sucks despite his tenure in the league. Martin could be awesome if he had the grey matter to go with his athleticism.

There are also a number of good FS options to choose from in the second day range.

our secondary is HORRIBLE. i think what your forgetting is that the pressure up front is what is helping the pass d. norman has GREAT upside, but munnerlyn is blah. i agree with you though. DT/CB is the right course of action. we are going to have to get some free agent talent on this team though. we need talent NOW before some key players are to old.

I disagree, several sacks from the last two games have come as a result of the coverage on the field. Our secondary is well ahead of where I expected it to be, especially without Gamble and starting a 5th round rookie.

were also 23rd in int's. we are doing well for what we have i think. an improvement at dt or cb/fs would both help the pass game. but really.. im kinda tired of the "miraculous catches" that keep happening on our corners. eh.. it doesnt matter.. i think we upgrade dt, FS , and add O talent next season and we win games with points not defense. jmo.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
