Panthers working out former Clemson, Bucs DE Da'Quan Bowers

[ItsPantone278]

I like this.

 

He was a monster in college and had some success in Tampa too.

Does he have injuries I dont know about or something? 

i guess his knees are supposedly about as healthy as a couple hardees cinnamon toast burgersburgers before bed every night

[Kuech the Sneak]

 

Bit of an endorsement 

@sgw94: Bowers put some decent tape out this preseason, I wouldnt be surprised of he gets picked up relatively quickly. Can rush inside

[UNCrules2187]

He played some interior DL for Tampa as well. Could be a nice rush option on the inside on obvious passing 3rd downs. Addison/Short/Bowers/CJ would be a nice pass rushing front 4 on 3rd and 10+ downs.

Rotation Depth... this would be sick if they signed him. 

[Daddy_Uncle]

low risk/high reward

if he looks decent physically and can move, then give him a shot. Maybe with the leaders we have on defense and Ron,  McDermott, we can motivate him to play at his fullest potential

whos DE roster spot would he take?

Wouldn't assume it's a DE.

We normally keep 5 DEs, but we have 4 right now. Could be a fringe guy: Webb, Wegher, Amini, Chandler, Marlowe, Mayo, Love, etc.

[MHS831]

Guy is complete garbage so it makes sense Gettleman would take a look at him.

Yes, because Gettlemen sucks at bringing in talent.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

lmao if you disagree with possibly signing him for the change under your car seat and working him into our DE rotation provided he's healthy

e: he could also be worked in as a 3 tech on passing downs.  rivera likes d-linemen like that.

[beastson52]

Wouldn't assume it's a DE.

I think it would be. I cant see us going with 5 DE's when we have other needs. The fact that they are even working him out says they think he "might" be an upgrade over one of the DE's currently on the roster.

 

An eye for an eye type scenario.

I doubt we give up on Wegher (Rivera just called him an "everydown back".) I doubt it is Marlowe, because we protected him on the roster knowing he would not last on the PS (guessing) and our "depth" at S is misleading (Harper and Jones?).  Not Webb, too versatile and valuable on and off field.  Chandler was decent at LT vs. Pittsburgh and can play/has played G.  Mayo may clear waivers and make the PS.  Love we need early in the season while Star and KK get into shape. 

So what again does Amini do?

If he takes a DE spot, probably Horton.

[DaveThePanther2008]

The fun part will be, providing we sign him, rubbing it in TB face when he becomes part of our rotation and gets 5 or 6 sacks in limited play. Especially when 2 come against TB.

They like the DEs they have now better than the fringe guys at some other spots.
