Start Delaire?

Regardless of opponent, I would start Delaire and Ealy this week to send a message.  Moreso, if CJ was butthurt about getting sat in the 4th quarter a few weeks ago, you got to know this would be a huge blow to his ego, so I would do it.  As for Allen, he hasn't stepped up, and while It might hurt his feelings, I'd do it more just to get the old man fresh and let him be the situational pass rusher we brought him here to be.

I don't think Allen is awful, rather he's been depended on for a role that he is not capable of at this point in his career. He is a rotational guy that will bridge the gap when starters rest, and has the potential to wreak havoc in the backfield.  A true starter, he is not.  Unfortunately, we've tried to fit him in to a role that he is struggling at, and it's time to limit his snaps. 

As for CJ.... I'm honestly torn. He's one of my favorite Panthers, but he is playing like garbage. 

I would start Ealy/Addison, and rotate Delaire in a ton in order to rediscover this pass rush.  I think CJ/Allen can come in too to keep fresh bodies on the field at all times, and grind the Bucs offense down. We need a pass rush to cover up our weaker secondary, especially with Coleman out.  

Delaire feasted on Jameis the first time around, so I hope Ron does the right thing and let Delaire loose. It's not about who's starting or finishing, it's about getting after the QB and stopping the run.  This defense needs to find its' identity and get their mojo back heading into the playoffs.
