The Athletic: Panthers had 2nd highest offensive improvement since midseason, but also biggest defensive dropoff

You know what else hurts?

No depth in the secondary 

Being 2 LBs shy

Being a real 5 technique shy

Chinn at safety

That is true but the defense was better with snow.  That's why this is specifically talking about second half of the season drop offs.

We need a real safety so we can move Chinn back in the box.  It's basically 2 picks/players for 1.  Who was the last solid safety we have had?  

Wilks has always specifically wanted Chinn at safety.   It has nothing to do with him being there out of necessity.

Really? He was moved to safety last year before Wilks was here? I thought he is there now because there aren’t many other options?

Its just been said by other coaches and Wilks himself how he wanted Chinn to play safety.  I'm sure you could find some interviews somewhere but I dont remember them specifically.   I do remember a lot of comments here when Wilks was over the secondary that of course he would want the best players in his position group

Yeah that makes sense. I just hope it’s currently out of necessity…

    • 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.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
