What Newton Really Needs


Recommended Posts

after watching the throttling the Oline got and the cripple secondary anyone else curious as to why Gettlemen hasnt really made a roster move? Is he turning a blind eye? Telling Rivera to win with what hes got?

Yes...

Our secondary last year allowed a league best completion %

Our OL last year was playing with fire in terms if keeping Cam healthy and being able to run basic plays consistantly.

Gettlemen ignored them. Ignored every weakness. Drafted to build his NY inspired DL and gave Ron a couple bandaids at WR....he technically has to have guys with somewhat comparable salaries anyway.

Hurney and his mess isn't universal defense for everything

Wasn't Eifert our second choice if Star wasn't there? So Gettleman pretty much acknowledged that a 2nd TE was needed and never went after one in FA, unless he thought Brandon Williams was going to solve that problem. Which is laughable.

We know HC and GM had different opinions on early picks. I think GM won....

I think Ron wanted the TE and believed a 2nd round DT was sufficient

    • All good solids points. I think after the RB and LB, is kicker the next spot among "Legacy" panther spot?? Kasay, gano, butkler, Eddie(best all-time %), Slye, Lloyd the touch back god, Mare, lols.....  Fitz...*right now* feels a combo of all the best panther ones. With the new rules, Fitz is either first or second in starting field position form KOs. He's a weapon and ten yards do matter. 
    • "Plays well" vs "near historic performance" are pretty different things. It's important to keep in mind the Cowboys passing defense is league worst and their run defense is nearly so, for sure. But one of those two players vastly outperformed what most other players have done versus the Cowboys and the other had fewer yards than typical (but still played very well imo, and did all we needed him to). Rico pretty much doubled up virtually every other single back that has played the Cowboys.  So yeah I get why people would be surprised that Rico is so far down the list of O players.
    • Trevin and Rozeboom remind me (obviously at a smaller scale) of when they had Beason as the mic and Luke beside him. Luke looked very average and was out of position a lot until he swapped to mic. REALLY hoping this is another case of that. Just on eye test alone that swap has been a night and day difference.
