Trading for Jackson also means that the team can use that waiver wire priority to pick up their favorite OL, EDGE, or QB3 instead.

Keep an eye on Jonathan Cooley. If Evero goes next season to take over somewhere as a head coach I can see Cooley being in the running for the DC position alongside Todd Wash if neither of them follow Evero.

It's worth mentioning that with Dane Jackson out for at least the first 2 - 4wks (making him a potential PUP candidate), Lamar Jackson + Anthony Brown leaving the Jets game with injuries, and after getting a cpl of days to look at Chris Wilcox + Willie Drew that the team still wanted a veteran presence opposite of Horn that will execute within the defense. 6'1" 210lbs CB. Looks like we're going to lean on secondary players with good size which makes sense given Evero's scheme. Disguising coverages with big bodied DBs has got to be stressful for QBs and receivers alike.

Weird... the other thread disappeared. For those that didn't get a chance to catch up: Mike Macdonald has history with Michael Barrett from his time as the Michigan DC. Seattle is currently deep at CB but has injuries at WLB and need somebody that can play ST. Jackson was the 26th ranked CB out of 229 according to PFF grades last year. Panthers were able to swap a 7th round rookie that had never played in a regular season game for a guy with 5yrs in the league. Not bad.

Also not practice related but still Panthers related: It's the love of XL's grandmother for me

Semi-related but not practice-related, I highly recommend giving Cooley's interview with The Athletic a listen. Great insight into the approach that these coaches are taking with the players.

Sounds like Defensive Pass Game Coordinator Jonathan Cooley is up

Unable to find the streams for the press conference. Going to grab relevant tweets instead.

That's the part that's crazy to me. People are making clearly definitive statements and then dogging out other posters for not having the same perspective only to turn around and cry victim when they're told to keep pounding sand. Being critical is more than okay. I was incredibly hard on Chuba his first season because of all of the drops that he had and gave immediate praise during his second season when he showed improvement. At no time did I make the declaration that he'd never be able to play RB in the NFL because that just isn't something that can be known from that rookie season. I was even more critical of YGM up until last season when his effort and motor paid off some because he was on the field more often to use it to his advantage (Yetur made his impact by wearing down opposing OL and still having his foot on the gas late in the game). I didn't think that he needed to be resigned this offseason but didn't spend every day of the offseason jumping into threads and rolling my eyes at folks that thought he should stay. Clearly, the issue isn't being critical of a player. It's the derailing of threads and condescending attitude of a select few posters that have been an issue to the point of where a compliment sandwich thread was created to make it less insufferable. I miss when fans had this attitude tbh:

Seconding on uBlock origin. Might be able to download a pre-made blocklist that can help there. That's what I ended up doing to get around a lot of the paywalls that news sites use. Going through that gave me the outline for how to add my own blocks for local + regional sites.
