The last "must win" game I recall was opening with Denver the year after the SB... Still angry about that

I think you've got that backwards (weight). It's 10lbs and enough to make a difference

It's interesting for sure to contemplate how these players will be used. 2 guys like Burns and Reddick, and 2 guys like Fox and Gross-Matos. You can spell either of those players with the other, or overload with 2 of the guys of the same specialty.

Maybe Fox is the new Tyler Brayton...

Yeah hopefully, but having both Burns and Reddick will get you in the conversation for best pass rush.

https://catcrave.com/2021/08/10/5-pleasant-surprises-carolina-panthers-training-camp-far/6/ Sounds like Yetur has not yet secured a starting role in TC, per Cat Crave. This is disappointing in the fact that he was thought to be skilled on running downs, which should have at least secured him a 2 down role. With Fox's size, I cannot imagine he offers much in the way of pass rush from the 4-3 DE position. He is apparently much better suited to play 3 tech DT or 3-4 DE. Yetur apparently has some upside in the pass rush area, but it's not yet been realized. I have heard nothing on him in training camp coverage.

I think I still prefer Panther Boy Tell 'em. If someone could dig that up, that'd be great.

That's definitely him, the absolute madman

On a side note, I didn't realize how good the 2017 draft was...

Our first three first round picks ever lol...

Yes, let's just rub our chubs to Brian Burns 24/7...

And what specifically is missing from him game that prevents him from contributing? Is it ability, football IQ, work ethic, other? Any camp insights into him? PFF ranked him very favorably amongst safetys in the 2020 draft class https://www.pff.com/news/draft-xfl-safety-kenny-robinson-jr-projects-as-one-of-the-best-playmakers-in-the-2020-nfl-draft-class

Take your pick.
