The Panthers went to the Superbowl with Terry Cousin and Reggie Howard as their starting CBs. They had the best D-Line in football that year. Why not try that formula again? Gettleman is banking on pass rush to make the secondary look good. And why not, it works. That is all.

the key to this will become our LB's. because for teams to compete with this front, they will have to make quick short passes as well as the use of screen passes. it will be critical for carolina not to over penetrate and get beat by a screen pass.

B/c the rules changed. Our corners today can't rape WRs like we did in 2003.

Pass rush aids a secondary....however, last year we generated the most pressure per snap and QBs had the best pass comp % against us even with that.

Did you see the Seattle Seahawks secondary? Those guys are the most aggressive in the entire league, even beyond the new rules.

Good thing we have the best MLB in the game.

The rules haven't changed; they're just called more consistently.

Norman and Thomas have the tools be good CB's. DJ Moore and Munnerlyn are some of the best slot CB's in the game. Florence is a seasoned veteran who probably isn't so good anymore considering our front 7 should be insane this year he should probably be able to take advantage of that. I'm not worried.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
