My phone is being stupid and wont let me past but this is per ESPN, those our are starters for this Sunday. So we sign a pro bowler SS just to be a back up. Genius! We have a CB that led the pre season in picks and we bench him. GENIUS!

 

Calm down. Who the starters are on the defense is pretty meaningless as much as everyone rotates in and out.

Don't understand putting Norman on the bench unless they think he is just too much of a gambler on a play to play basis. Seattle is a big play/play action team. If Norman tries to jump a few play action routes and they lead to TDs then it puts our offense in a bad situation against a front 7 that LOVES to play downhill. Wilson isnt going to throw picks...he just doesn't do it. Never did it in college, didn't do it last year as a rookie. The best way to limit Seattle is to be solid tacklers and to force them to go 3 and out.

 

If we were playing the Cowboys and you could count on a few errant throws from Romo then I'd say start Norman...but Wilson is too disciplined. Start whoever is most fundamentally sound.

Mikell needs to get in football shape before he can be labeled a starter. You don't just walk on to week 1 and start a full game after missing all TC and preseason work.

Wharton was signed as depth and to start if poo gets ugly.

Norman? He will essentially start in nickel and dime looks

Those guys came on late as opposed to being in camp and preseason. They will still play and rotate in so what is the problem?

Remember Mikell was on his couch for 31 other teams as well..gotta get him in playing shape first.

Norman will play as Captian moves to the nickle. Josh Thomas is a more consistant guy (as seen late last season). Norman, being a young guy needs to stay focused and hungry so...this is also a coaching/motivation technique.

Now if they are inactive you make this thread.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
