Things We Should Be Talking About -- Vol. 1

It's the off-season, I get it. Whether it's an ''our receivers suck'', "KB to TE'', or "We need whomever at No. 8'' what we should be talking about is the current roster and some of the familiar or unfamiliar faces added to it by way of a future contract. First up...

Darrell Young-

Young is a 29 yr old FB we signed after the season ended. With the savings we could receive by cutting Tolbert I believe his name is one to keep an eye on as he could be the FB moving forward the next couple of years. With a very similar stature, and skill set, and  lower cost I have a hard time believing this won't happen as the Panthers continue to move forward and improve that position. Here are a few clips fro reference, could definitely add an additional goal line threat if the power is still there.

Dezmen Southward-

Next up is just an interesting prospect although his combine measures him at 6', other outlets list him at 6'2'', when you read over his strengths he's a player you become interested in and the 3rd round selections seems to at least back that up. 

STRENGTHS

 Excellent size. Good straight-line speed. Bends his knees and pedals softly. Reacts well to plays in front of him. Played a hybrid safety role at UW, including defending slot receivers (even played CB in a pinch against BYU). Special-teams experience. Recorded a 4.38-second 40 time, a 42-inch vertical jump and 6.50-second three-cone time at his pro day workout.

So here you guys go, just a couple of future contracts to keep an eye on, in closing I think Young has a chance to supplant Tolbert as a cap casualty / production fall off. And Southward given his size, and athleticism could replace the often maligned Dean Marlowe as a depth safety, and special team participant.

Darrel Young is a man, I will definetly keep an Eye on him. Imagine the running game with him & Fournette along with Leggett as 2nd TE.

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
