Capers, 58, has spent the last 23 years in the NFL, working as among other things the first head coach of both the Panthers and the Texans, and the defensive coordinator of the Steelers, Jaguars, and Dolphins.

Another former Steelers defensive coordinator, and two-time former head coach, remains in the running as well — Jim Haslett

PANTHERS NEED D. C .

Capers is a 3-4 guy. Despite the occasional Huddle posts that say we need to consider it and the fact that we do use it from time to time, we don't have the personnel for it. It would be several years before we would be competitive using it exclusively.

With our personnel at the present, I'd rather pass...

Do you not think Connor, Anderson, or Seward could be the second guy in the middlle with Beason?

Kemo would be fine as an NT, and Pep and Brayton are probably both fit for a 3-4 pretty well..

I think we are capable of running the 3-4, but I just don't know if Fox wants to make the permanent switch...

Kemo would be a fine nose guard. Peppers would be able to adjust. Not sure about Brayton and definitely concerned about the bulk of the linebackers to run it. You need linebackers who are more like defensive ends body-wise to pull it off effectively and we don't have that, IMO...

We do have speed at LB though, and that helps a lot in the 3-4.. Also, I think the plan would be to let Pep line up on the outside more times that not, moving either Davis or Diggs inside, depending on which side we want to rush (or make them think we are rushing)..

Who knows, it might work? I just don't know...

Thomas Davis and Hilee Taylor would be very good DE/OLBs. Brayton is just not a LB and we saw that from his Raiders days.

They compare real close in bulk to Steelers starting 4

Woodley 6'2"265 Peppers 6'7" 283 or Taylor 6'2"250

Farrior 6'1" 239 Connor 6'2" 231

Foot 6'2"243 Beason 6'0"237

Harrison 6'0"242 Davis 6'0" 240

      The New Position Rooms

      Great write up. I think we're going to try to keep both of the guys we've gotten from the Vikings on that DE/OLB rotation. I don't think they ever had the chance to get up to speed together. And I really agree with you about Clowney.  I really think this room really is going to depend on whether our long-term goal is to continue with 3-4 (I hope not) or go back to 4-3 full time. I'm hoping the safety situation and the LB situation don't end up biting us in the butt. I just don't see where we've gotten better there yet. I hope I'm wrong about this. O-line... just when things are jelling, you find out this might be the last season the group can expect to be together... that's just our history here. Again. Any thoughts on Moose's kid, Moose 3, coming as an undrafted FA WR?

      That’s interesting to know. He’s adjusting and conditioning to what feels like the optimal situation for him. I’ll tell you, sounds like he’s been coached very well to recognize those things, have the strong run game skills and continuing to build out his moveset. He really seems like a high floor guy that I’m just surprised lasted that long. Feel really string about him and Princely. Just tough guys with good experience, size, skills, there’s no weird outlier question marks with either of them.
