I'm pretty sure the plan wa to start Irvin and bring burns along slowerly in a pass rusher type role.. but with burns mild success and I say that in the least hes won on 29% of his pass rushes a a mark I believe that make him 4th best in the league. Does Ron say hey Bruce is a vet burns take a seat we will call you when we need you.. or does Ron say Bruce who? And make him rotate with Addison? 

What say you.

Looking at snap counts, Burns has played the same number of snaps as Mario with 143 out of 217 (65.9%).

Others are:

 

Haynes 79 out of 217 (36.4%)

Obada (not sure how many on the line vs OLB) 60 out of 217 (27.6%)

Carter 52 out of 217 (24.0%)

Miller 37 out of 217 (17.1%)

 

Not really sure whose snaps Irvin takes but I’m sure he’ll have a role. Miller could be inactive. I see him taking more snaps in run situations than passing situations, he’s better against the run than Mario and Burns at this point. I think it’ll work out just fine and Burns will still have a huge role.

I could only see Millers reps increase.. he was a stud last week with what 2 sacks? That's the kind of production you want to see out of the rook.. shows the light could be coming on. He was a 5 star prospect coming into Alabama.. he finally be  blossoming all that unrefined talent.

We platoon edge rushers and keep everyone fresh. Given Irvin hasn't played in weeks I doubt he starts. He needs to work himself into football shape.

I agree.  You don't come off an injury and be amazing.  Plus he isn't a spring chicken anymore.  I do believe he'll help our run defense.  

I think in the end it is a good problem to have.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
