Derek Landri and Barry Cofield

[thecarolinaswagger]

I wouldnt mind seeing the panthers make a move for cofield in free agency he is still young at 27. he and landri would be 2 good starters for us at the d tackle positions.then draft another tackle in the 3rd round or 2nd when we trade back into the 2nd. people think landri isnt that good, but he had comparable stats to cofield last season,and believe it or not, landri was top 10 in tackles for loss in the nfl for defensive tackles.

Sounds like a plan to me! We still would need to sign some quality depth, but your starting combo would get us off to the right start.

Landri definately impressed. He'll continue to get better, esppecially if we can put a dominate tackle beside him.

[SorthNarolina]

We need at least two legitimate starting tackles along with a 2nd or 3rd day rookie if we want to be a balanced defense.

Landri made some huge mistakes as well. If he gets a lot better he could start but I honestly don't think he'll get past a back up/ rotation guy.

i agree. We need at least one 3 down lineman.

Cofield should be our number one priority going into free agency.

Been saying this for a while. Rookie DT's don't step right into a lineup and dominate the line of scrimage. (Suh is a freak of nature) We need a vet like Cofield to give the guys we draft time to develop.

barry coefield would be amazing to have, draft darious 1st and that is a top 5 defense in the league hands down

:iagree:

Landri is one of those types of players that can take advantage of other teams focusing on a top rated DT. I would have loved to see what he would have done next to a healthy Jenkins or Kemo.

Not good enough to main DT but good enough to be highly productive.

Landri was great at slipping through gaps vs. the run, but he struggled to provide pass rush. He is a solid roational player.

I saw that the Panthers were talking (2 mos. ago) to Purnell McPhee, a DE from Miss St. He is not an effective pass rusher at 285 lbs from the end position. I could not help but wonder if we might be considering him at the 3 technique, where he would be a good pass-rushing DT--maybe. He is tall and could add 10 pounds. Nice compliment to Landri, who we need to re-sign before anything else

I like Landri as a rotational guy not a starter. I think we still need too find 2 starter this year at DT draft or FA.
