You watching the Cowboys Saints game... See the key to beating a team like the Saints? Get pressure on Brees. We need a pass rush in the worst way it is the key to beating these high potent offenses like the Saints/Rams/Chiefs/Steelers etc...

 

Once you kill the head of the snake (QB) those other weapons can't get off. This is why we need to load up on pass rushers in this draft. 1st and 2nd round picks should be both used on edge rushers. Hopefully our GM is smart and realize this is how you win in todays NFL. DB's mean nothing if you cant get to the QB.

Pretty sure we could have HOFers at each spot on the dline - it wouldn't do any good against NO's quick pass offense when our secondary plays 10 yards off the receivers

This. 2 second releases are impossible to sack 

So what do we do just give up until Brees retire? This fanbase baffles me at times. This is a loser mentality. The Saints can be beat, we almost beat them last year in the playoffs in the dome. Remember that?

If only Funchess knew how to attack the ball instead of getting manhandled.

Why did I post this thread. You guys sound depressed and defeated. All I hear is we can't do this it's impossible. Yes we can we just have to do it. You guys can give up on this team if you want. We still have talent on this team especially on offense. If we can get a spark on the Dline and get pressure on the QB, we are still a top team in this league. Stop non believe and Believe!

I get ur optimism. But after these last 3 performances with no end in sight and no help coming in, you can see why a lot of the base has packed it in. They need need change or a win to be motivated again. Losing on bad 4th down decisions takes a lot out of a person. When you see something with so much potential fail... hurts

Step back a little, I never said give up, I’m just saying no matter how good the DL is you can’t get a sack in 2 seconds, at least consistently. We need to stop sagging off in coverage every play and that will help the DL out a bunch. No loser here, let me know when you find one.

We definitely need to bring in some pass rushers. I haven’t seen the class of DEs coming out so I’m not sure how deep it will be in the draft. I just don’t want us to draft just to draft a DE. If a gem is there, get him but don’t want to reach. Hopefully we can sign a solid free agent too. I still believe in this team and I say we win out and sneak into the playoffs.

Pass rushers makes everything else on defense look better.  It’s the second most important position group on the team.  

I agree! I remember the super bowl run in 03. We had Howard and Cousins back there in the secondary but our line was a beast and made the whole defense as a whole look great

Jamming the receiver at the LOS gives your pass rush a second or two more to get there.

Our last pass rusher to even touch Drew Brees was back in 2013. Since then Drew has been setting fire to our defenses.

I miss how GH used to terrorize Drew Brees. I really thought he was going to hurt the guy. He twisted him up like no other...

Unless you draft the #1, #2(maybe) DE out of college you've got to expect a 2-3 year learning curve and physical maturation.

Free agent DE's never come cheap. It's the second most important position on the field.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
