Name what you forsee to be the Panthers Defensive Line in O-Nine.

too hard to know right now.

brayton/kemo/giant 6'4, 300-350lb FA/johnson

i say we will bring in about 4 or 5 low-risk FA DTs this year and keep 2 of them. we have no idea who is going to be available since there will be FAs added to the available list all offseason.

we will also have 2 or 3 DL picks in the draft. they are going to have to really take this thing seriously. that is for sure.

Let me also through in the possibility that Kemo could be a sought after lineman with several more teams going to the 3-4. The nose in the 3-4 is one of the hardest pcs of the puzzle to find. He thrived at Baltimore in that system and hasn't excelled in the 4-3.

I guess we can determine once Fox gets off his duff and hires a DC.

That really didnt work out in our favor last year. I hope we make a push for a young starting DT. It dose not have to be Haynesworth but someone that can rush and stop the run.

Lol, I have never seen a DT used just for "running downs" :idea: .

Im guessing your new at watching football.

how did it not?

it is pretty common.

What I would "prefer" given our options this offseason.

RDE: Terrell Suggs OR Chris Canty

DT: Rotation of Kemo/Rocky Bernard/Lewis

LDE: CJ/Brayton

What will probably happen

RDE: Draft pick (Michael Johnson if we don't get a first rounder, Tyson Jackson if we do)

DT: Kemo/Lewis/Shaun Cody

LDE: CJ/Brayton

[mantal]

Peppers, Kemo, Brayton and a rook or free agent. I just don't see them letting Peppers go...

[panthers1789]

it is pretty common.

Other than when teams are trying to run out the clock there really are no obvious running downs.

[OneBadassCat]

DE- Suggs, Taylor

DT-Kemo, Lewis

DT- Draft and FA

DE- Johnson, Brayton

[Snake]

how did it not?

Really didnt get much production out of Walker and the rest didnt even make the team. Hayden may be a good backup but he is too raw to be a starter this year and needs to beef up some IMO.

It depends on what formation they playing in. How much time is on the clock and other factors. Just depends and thats why its such a luxury to have a DT that can eat up space and rush cause you have a guy for any situation.
