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.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
