But those guys started.  YGM will be in spot duty *knocks on wood*  unless Houston and Burns struggles to stay healthy. Haynes, once fully ready, will probably be the #3 guy.  Barno has too much speed not to give him snaps.  We draft Johnson too. 

YGM is going to have a hard time getting enough snaps to have a "break out year" as a Panther.

I see Barno, Haynes, and Burns as the "rush LBs" and Johnson, YGM, Houston, and Leota as the "edge holders" who will do more bull rushing the passer.  For that reason, YGM is really neither.  I was much more impressed with Leota in the preseason that YGM or Johnson, fwiw.

Hardy was an elite-level athlete.

YGM has no get off and best serves any team as a high-motor rotational guy that can start the last few games if the starter goes down.

Yetur had potential as a base 4-3 strong side end, but his burst and handfighting skills just aren't there.

Hardy was/is a legit psychopath. That's what fueled him on field and what made him a train wreck off field.

YGM just seems too sane to turn into Hardy.

I always mark Hardy’s off the field issues and subsequent removal from the team as one of the reasons the 2014 team struggled as much as it did. 
With him we were 2-0. Losing didn’t start happening till after he was let go for week 3.

No and I’m very disappointed he hasn’t shown growth or consistency with getting pressure.

Yeah, he is the guy you always see break free and chase the QB when there is really good downfield coverage. But that explosive, beat the guy in front of him and blast the QB type play still hasn't been put on tape. I wonder how long he lasts.

If you are looking to bury him, do not read this post.  However, if you want to hold out hope, he has the tools and he is with a new Staff.  Rhule was a bitch, and if you got in his dog house, I can see where it would be discouraging.

 

having said that, I just do not see him in this system.  For his size, he needs to bull rush and hold the edge.  Can he?

I would not be surprised if he’s cut, everything points to him being maxed out on talent.

Yeah, I'm so disappointed in YGM. Coming out of college, he looked like he could have been the 2nd best DE out of that draft. The size. The arm length. The alleged ability to bend the edge. And last season, he had all the chances in the world to break out.

What the heck happened?

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
