Im not sure why no one is talking about McDermott more. Behind Luke, TD, the Kraken et al's performance was the mad scientist, orchestrating a symphony of destruction. He deserves a good bit of credit for slapping Brees around.

 

Chico gave him a shout, but I havnt seen any articles running with it.

 

 

 

 

 

. . and I know this thread isnt much, but somebody had to post something. . Daymmm!

I've seen some articles and heard some commentators mentioning/crediting McDermott... I think the problem is the perception (true or not) that Rivera is calling the shots on defense and McDermott is just following the game plan devised by Rivera. 

 

Either way he deserves more credit in my book, the defensive play calling has been excellent and he's the guy in the booth.

Just think how much better this defense would be with some decent DBs....

 

We really just need one more corner... White hasn't been bad but at best he's been "OK" at least in my view. There's a reason why opponents attack his side of the field. With our front 7, if we can find ourselves a Richard Sherman we would be totally lights out.

On one of his WFNZ appearances, Smitty said White's problem was that he hit the rookie wall pretty hard. He still believes he'll be a good player, though. Said he's a hard worker and is very coachable.

They also asked him what the deal was with Josh Norman. Smitty didn't sound quite so confident about his future (hinted that his work ethic needed improvement).

because some people are convinced that Ron is the only coach responsible for the defense

Every coordinator that works under a head coach known for being involved in one side of the ball has that issue.

Take the Saints as an example. Do you believe their OC can function away from Payton well enough that you'd hire him as a head coach?

Probably because all the snarky posters thought it was so cool to call him McDerp, now they just keep quiet. McDermott was thrown under the bus in Philly to save Andy... They lost a good DC.... Our gain... I think the mix of him and Rivera is lightning in a bottle.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
