Assuming we didn't pay a ridiculous price, really good signing

[Moo Daeng]

Interesting.

So numb to the FA inactivity

They upgraded the signing closet!

 

Bruce Irvin has wreaked havoc against Carolina since the early rivalry games vs Seattle. Stoked he is a Panther.

I think he’s good depth but for people saying DE or 3-4 OLB is set now, it’s not. Irvin isn’t a great player anymore but he can be a good rotational guy. 

That's all he has ever been! He has been a situational player his entire career.

Tepper and his analytics. 

Also give Rivera respect where its due. He knows how to rest and uses older players like Irvin. He will fill,the peppers roll really well.

I can’t wait to get it started! #KeepPounding

Is this guy still good?

Haven't heard from him since his Seattle days. I still think DE is our main priority. Irvin will probably be a depth guy.

Good Lord, Bruce Irvin was a @mockdraftable freak when he came out for the NFL Draft. By comparison, his SPARQ athletic profile (above 97th percentile!) Was better than Montez Sweat.

There were some comments about how Irvin's effort was questionable...Give me a break. It was his first, what you would call a "down" year. That was mostly because the Raiders sucked and had locker room issues. Then he went to the Falcons halfway through the season and had to learn a new playbook. There were also comments about how he isn't here to be an every-down player....Serious? Have you seen this guy play? Irvin is one of those players that is a lot like those "special" players like J. Peppers, in the fact that they have this every down "high motor". Because of that high motor, these are the guys that can play into their mid to late 30's....Irvin is one of those players that plays with a different gear than most players. He's only 31 years old, I think he is here to fill the shoes of Thomas Davis. He's very versatile, and Ron Rivera actually talked about throwing in some 3-4 looks next season on defense. Just watch, Bruce Irvin will come into Carolina with fresh focus and FIRE in his gut. This is a great signing for what we got him for and could end up being a serious steal...This guy still has 2 to 4 good years of football in him.......WATCH!!! I really like this signing!

All of our defensive line are depth guys. If you look at our snap count percentages you will see Addison was the highest at 67% with short next at 59%. The rest are just at 50 and below.

I see people a lot posting these stats, but the question is why is he on his third team in 12 months and no other team made a bigger bid
