Has anyone within the Panthers' organization realized that we only have 5 DL on the roster? 4 TEs and only 5 DL.

This is gonna be interesting. 

I want to believe that this means they aren’t really that worried about the Burns situation and it’ll be sorted tomorrow… but I’m starting to think maybe we still just really have no idea what we are doing.

This isn't at all unusual for a 3-4 team.  Barno, Burns, Gross-Matos, and Houston can all come down and play down on the line.  So saying we only have 5 DL, while technically true, is misleading.  We certainly have more than 5 guys that can play on the defensive line.

Other 3-4 teams also only have 5 listed DL on the roster.  Packers, Ravens, Vikings, Dolphins, Titans.  And most of the other 3-4 teams who do have more than 5 listed DL, only have 6.  And if a team has 7 (like the Rams), they are running fewer OLBs than us.  Patriots are weird in that they have 7 DL and and 5 OLBs... but they also only have 2 RBs on the roster, so maybe teams just build differently than others and that is okay.  But there is nothing wrong with only having 5 DL on the roster on a 3-4 team.

I can't believe we are not adding a TE to the PS.  Hurst has a reputation of being dinged up throughout any given season and our depth sucks.  Considering this SHOULD be Ian Thomas' last season, it couldn't hurt to develop a young guy.  Heck, they keep trying to make Sullivan into something and now he's on IR, so let's try another dude.
