In the 3-3-5 look, there is no need to cover the deep seam route like with the Tampa II.  We just need a run stuffer.  I am guessing this is that guy

Thank you for posting this. It's refreshing when someone else understands how schemes work and that when building a roster you don't go for the shiniest and most expensive gems at every position but instead put several rocks on the field with a few gems and sometimes you change those rocks depending on the situation and where you want all your stones to be at and what they are suppose to accomplish. 

Every off season fans confuse me. When Hurney would over pay good players who were getting old or playing a position of less importance they were happy, then when the error of doing this became clear because we couldn't get other players in positions we needed more or said players dropped in production they wanted Hurney rightfully gone. Now when we have similar situations, many want us to do it again and overpay players just because they are better than what we have at the moment. 

Also, people recognize that we need more depth and they are correct. But depth isn't just about replacing a "starter" when he's hurt. Proper depth is about having solid players at all positions that can do specific things in your scheme. Teams can only afford to have but so many "stars" as they cost a lot. Where you have those stars should be based on which positions are most important for your overall scheme.  

This off season so far, we are doing a very good job of getting affordable players that could be solid starters or temporary starters or situational players. Each player fits into our schemes and at a minimum they give us more depth which we all know we need and yet with every signing it feels like half the people don't like them even though it's exactly what they know and have said we need. 

I call it the Madden effect. If #52 is a 74 and #53 is a 69 then we should take #52 but that's not the right approach. You have to consider what each player does well. If #52 plays man and #53 plays zone and our scheme is zone then we should take #53. If #52 is fast and good in coverage same as #49 but #53 stops the run and we have no one to stop the run then we should take #53. The overall rating is less important than how he fits our scheme or what our needs are.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
