“Haason Reddick is gonna make me go even harder because there’s going to be a little competition now in the room for who’s going to get the sack the fastest. And also, he’s just going to take a lot of attention off of me … [the offensive line] is going to have to pick their poison.”

Panthers DE Brian Burns: Haason Reddick ‘gonna make me go even harder’ (usatoday.com)

"In their December meeting, the Panthers squeezed Packers MVP Aaron Rodgers down to just 143 yards and sacked him five times. In the Super Bowl, the Bucs punished the Chiefs’ alien QB Patrick Mahomes, posting three sacks, 10 quarterback hits and picking him off twice.

Building an intense pass rush like that is a cumulative effort and all the pieces matter. Reddick and Burns lined up for different squads last year, but if you put their numbers together they would have totaled 21.5 sacks and 37 QB hits. Any reasonable team would be happy to get that kind of production from their edge duo."

YGM might be the most forgotten player on this roster. DEs take time--Johnson and Rucker and Hardy-all except for Peppers were invisible in the first year or two.

 

YGM is going to be one to watch.  He could have a breakout year this year with all the pressure coming from all directions.

YGM is my guy........only thing I heard about him just he acts young even compared to young people. If he was in this past draft, Im about 98% sure he would have been a 1st given the lack of talent form DE/edge pool. If the light switch gets flipped on this year..... panthers will give any teams issues this year on both sides of the ball. He should be able to play inside some too.

Yea ..I'd agree. Hell if he didnt happen to come out the same year as Chase Young, one could argue he probably would have been the first DE off the board last year. I honestly thought he was/is better than Chaisson. That lawsuit and Penn State  forcing him to play DT at times didn't do him any favors. 

If Jones and/or Fox can atleast duplicate Kerr's success.. we will be dominant, all things considered.

Maxx. Ugh, sucks we missed on him. We had him in for one of our 20 or so private visits. Losing pick 77 in the trade and taking Grier at 100. Crosby went after Grier and before we took Miller. Unfortunately, Marty isn’t Fitterer who realized Marshall would be gone before Christensen and made his selections in the right order. I’m pretty sure Grier would have been there at Miller’s pick. Crosby and Burns with Brown and Jones in the middle? Would have been like that dream Hardy, Johnson, Star and Short DL that almost was. Probably even better.

Well, Fitterer also used a draft pick on a LS who would have been a UDFA.

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
