Jabaal Sheard

[Jared Patterson]

Another guy I don't know why we aren't talking about more. I believe he may have been hurt for a good amount of last year? however, he is known for his run defense as an edge. I love Bruce/Mario, but I think we should only keep one of them and add Sheard. Our DLine coach just came from the Colts and he is close with Sheard. Sheard was their vocal leader on the Line and actually graded better than Bruce. He is a free agent and I doubt he'd cost much. We already have our speed edge rushers, I think it's time we finally got a guy that can stop the run.

A relatively cheap upgrade that could help stop the run big time. Something we really need after being ranked 31st. Also with his relationship with our dline coach I think this has a chance of actually happening.

I'm going to go with a no. 

We absolutely do NOT need to keep cluttering this defense with multi-scheme EDGE talent.

I mean of course I would like to get a Clowney, Yannick type player, but we can't afford that. I thought this was a realistic upgrade that would be cheap and he has some ties to our coaches.

Who should we target for Edge/DE???

We need Vic Beasley. He’s better than what Panthers fans give him credit for.

I wouldn't mind this and love his age, but I do know his run defense grades are terrible

lol

 

anyway I doubt Sheard is gonna wanna come here, we still don't know if we're gonna try to compete or rebuild. If he's down for a possible mentorship role, sure, but what is he gonna do here on a 1 year?

I like the idea especially as a run defender. But you should know that people on here will poo on any idea which doesn't shout Superbowl contender. It's funny but if you read any thread on here it's full of posts predicated on our being a good team despite new coaches, record breakingly bad run D, and total uncertainty at QB.

 Anyway on topic, I don't hate the idea, but If I were Matt Rhule I would go for a young team and clear the decks of some of the entitled underperforming guys on nice contracts. Snow said that's what he did with his D unit at Baylor. Therefore I would be against Sheard.
