These interviews have been awesome. Really shows the commitment from Tepper on down to build a perennial winner in Carolina. I’m absolutely here for it. And in the words of Lizzo, “it’s about damn time!”.

Same here. And JJ III has a background with our new DC and DB coach which gives us a player familiar with this 3-4 scheme. Makes sense all around.

Would be a great pickup as a true FS to complement Chinn. His versatility of playing in the box would give us flexibility in the backend.

After seeing what Mac Jones tried to do to multiple defensive players, including our own Brian Burns, a rougher the passer penalty in the “Kris Jenkins spleen crush hit” mode would be not only worth it but totally justified. Sorry I’m not usually this morbid but Jones is a total POS for dirty play. Should be putting that energy into becoming a better QB.

DreMont Jones? Absolutely! I’d pass on JuJu.

You’re alright in my book CnC. Thanks for keeping us Huddlers informed.

Still awaiting strength & conditioning staff as well.

Well said good sir. These press conferences have honestly given me chills I can’t remember a time when we’ve had this level of intelligence and articulation displayed by our coaching staff. And I’m so looking forward to seeing how this translates to the field. It will be a welcome change to spend my Sundays watching a truly professional well-coached football that plays to win.

Good points. I’m just excited to finally see some strategic defensive playcalling for a change. Should be fun seeing Evero and Capers move these chess pieces around.

Based on what I’ve read Brown would fit the DE role in a 3-4 scheme better but I’m sure he’d also continue to play NT in a multi-scheme/traditional 4-3 if needed.

I have a feeling Brown, Burns and YGM will thrive in this defense. If we can get a true NT that fits this scheme in the draft and FA, we’re going to be really good.

I think the hiring of Parks Frazier as passing game coordinator may have closed the door on that but you never know.

Hard to do that with the QB carousel we’ve had since he’s been here. It’s a miracle he’s performed as well as he has.

Not really. Jackson’s a good player but injuries are starting to factor into his availability the last few years. I think a younger QB with better accuracy is what will work better for Reich’s system but that’s JMO.

Brown. Based on what I’ve read about him and his knowledge of McVay’s system, I think he would be a great fit for what we’re trying to do. JMO

Personally I wouldn’t. If we miss out on a first-round QB, I’d be fine taking him @ 9. He’s one of the best players in this draft and we need a dynamic runner to replace CMC. The Huddle tribe makes some great arguments though. As our roster stands now, a talent like Robinson would be a luxury for us not a need. And we have plenty of needs.

Appears TB is the top choice if we can get him. Cooter may be a fallback option. Beyond that, we certainly have enough offensive experience on staff if we can’t land either of these guys. And Parks Frazier, who was just hired, could be a play caller in waiting.

I NEVER bought into the race angle. And I’m African-American. One only has to look at the diversity within the Panthers’ organization to see that was pure BS. It was known before the search got underway that Tepper was looking for an offensive minded HC. Out of respect for Wilks, he was given a shot but he didn’t do enough and frankly, hiring him would’ve meant settling for the status quo. Had nothing to do with race, although I understand the optics. It was time for a change. And Tepper could see the League is trending toward more dynamic offense. 7 of the 8 teams that made the playoffs (including the two that represented in the SB) we’re headed by coaches with strong offensive backgrounds. I’m excited to see the team live supported since it’s inception finally getting on board.

Yeah that aged well. As many of us know, you just have to give it time for things to come together.

With this coaching staff, we’ll have options and a great contingency plan in place. In the event we don’t get a rookie QB in the draft, we could sign a veteran to a modest contract as a placeholder until we do. With the staff we have now, we’ve ensured of the resources and experience to help just about any QB be successful.

Couldn’t agree more. The difference here may be a more collaborative approach to running the offense. Not micromanaged but more input from a staff that’s more experienced until Brown, Cooter or whoever gets familiar with the type system Reich wants to install. JMO

Holding out hope we snag Thomas Brown, who’s scheduled for interview on Thursday. I figure with the Caldwell hire, it will come down to him or JB Cooter. He would be a great mentor for either. I’m also expecting Parks Frazier to be added to the offensive staff at some point.

Love it!

Intrigued by Thomas Brown. Sounds like the type of innovative play caller and leader we need. I hope we don’t let this guy leave without a contract.
