Didn’t Rhule have roster control too?  He tell one of his own guys he isn’t OOU?

That stings bc I like Reddick. Still, that other plan was signing Frankie Luvu for a third of the price. Not a bad consolation. Reddick signed for 3 years at 15mil per and Luvu for 2 years at 4.5mil per. 
 

Reddick is a bigger game wrecker as far as sacking the QB and creating turnovers, but Luvu had 111 combined tackles this year to Reddick’s 49. Reddick is a pass rush specialist who played 74% of Philadelphia’s defensive snaps. Luvu played 92% of ours.
 

We did fine on that decision for where we are as an organization. We’re not in a Super Bowl window like the Eagles.

Yeah I’m surprised how salty people are about it. I felt like when we signed him we always knew it was going to be a 1yr rental.

He is an elite pass rusher. You really can't have enough of those. 

The thought was that Burns would be that elite guy but he hasn't quite been able to reach that height yet. 

Luvu is a great player but he isn't in the same class when it comes to keeping QB pressure. 

But, Reddick was also used very effectively by Philly and 97% of what we did in Carolina was insanely stupid. Perhaps we will get more out of these guys with competent coaching.

Man, I loved Reddick.  He made some great plays for us.  The Panthers made other choices in who to pay, whether it was Rhule or Fitterer at the end of the day.  Reddick is a great pass rusher and impact player, but as we've seen, he wasn't truly a full time player in that he had to come out.  Is it a quibble?  Probably, but Frankie has been more than fine.  He's not the pass rusher that Reddick is, but he's really coming into his own as a player and I'm thrilled that we have Luvu.

Would Reddick have been as impactful this past season?  Considering we switched from our hybrid approach to more of a standard 4-3 when Wilks took over - I'm not totally sure.  I'm happy for him.

Yeah, we were able to get Bozeman, Foreman and Luvu for what we would have paid Reddick.

But Rhule would get up early and milk the the bull to fill his cereal bowl, that counts for something.

Meh he knows he wanted to leave and go to a contending team and he has a connection to Philly. He was vocal about his aggravation with the team at times on Twitter that season too. He's in a better situation which is what he wanted. Enjoy the moment it might not come around again take it from us.

He was a pass rusher only. He could not cover a TE or RB out of the backfield. That is Burns problem as well. In a 3-4 the LBs have to be able to cover as well and those 2 cannot.  They can only do one thing, rush the passer.

Dropping back burns was a fan failure not a defensive failure. Burns in zone eats up a lot of space and disturbs passing lanes. That’s the point. 
 

schemes drop back defensive lineman… that’s just how they are drawn up. It’s to confuse the QB and o line while throwing off the timing of pass plays. It’s not like burns was dropping back 30%+ of the time.
