Nick Scott weighing contract offer to return to Carolina

[PadresPanthersFan]

As long as they draft someone and keep building up demani I'm fine with this. Need the depth ( he shouldn't be a starter) and good for st

For the life of me, didn't know he was on the team last year. 

Same. I thought for a minute they meant Trent Scott. It’s possibly Trent Scott is a better safety.

Looking at the DL exclusively, they're adding DB, Wharton, and Brown III to it which completely replaces last season's starters. That leaves Robinson, Crumedy, Tuttle, Ray, and any other additions made competing for the three back-up spots. They essentially added a 100 tackle DT, the sack leader of one of last season's Super Bowl teams, and a true NT rather than an undersized one.

I'm with you on the safeties. If Scott does return, I expect him to take Sam's role as back up SS/ST. Moehrig is the clear starter and a major upgrade... as much as I want a top flight FS, I have to appreciate the team prioritizing a run-stopping safety to fix record-setting incompetence over a centerfielder. Then when I consider that the Panthers get to play against Bijan Robinson, Alvin Kamara, and Bucky Irving twice a season... I can dig it. The situation at FS tho...

I'm concerned that we might see more soft zone coverage if they don't find a starting FS. I'm finding it hard to believe that they're going in depending on Demani Richardson, but maybe his play last season makes them comfortable with adding another young body to compete against this season? I gotta dive into the tape and see for myself.

Going to be veeery interesting

It would be fun to pair Moehrig with a ballhawking type like Watts.  Horn is a shutdown type at CB but we really do need a ballhawk in the secondary to make us a bit peskier back there.  Then land a CB like Strong VT to see develop as well for the outside or a better boost at NB like Parrish KSU over Smith-Wade.

Safety was the thinnest spot on the roster.  Makes sense for S depth and STs.  It's a two-fer roster plug on a one-year deal.

And no slam on the guy, hope he'll be good for us, just nothing memorable so far.

Ok so our DL was one of the worst in NFL history, and we sign some new players (2) but we also bring back Tuttle and Ray--why????

We have bad safeties and let them walk, then bring back a S from that unit.  He only played 324 plays in 2024 and looks to play less this season.  He had a 48.1 PFF grade vs the run.  What are we doing?  Camp bodies?

Brown was hurt. That’s sort of the crux of the collapse of the line.

Nothing like a guy that allows a 106.2 career passer rating to shore up a leaky D.

He's not even a good tackler. Bad in coverage. Bad against the run. I mean... come on man. Give me something to work with. I need something to scheme you for. I can't just hide you in the secondary all game.

I get that, but others have to step up.  Can I do the job or do I have to have someone else beside me getting all the offensive attention to do my job?  They failed miserably.  I agree that, from our perspective, Brown will make a huge difference moving forward, but these guys had their opportunity and they sucked.

You are giving me hope that I too may play safety for the Carolina Panthers.  I have a bad shoulder from when I played in college in the 80s.  I am white and ran a 4.75 40, and I am about 30 pounds overweight and I need readers in restaurants.  But as you describe him, I meet those requirements.   Sending my resume to Dan....
