Isn't Cofield a 3-tech?

Isn't Cofield a 3-tech?

He's lined up several different ways but the Giants have used him a lot as a NT. He's really perfect for Rivera's defense in that he has a good amount of speed but at the same time he can engage two lineman. Kind of a hybrid of sorts so it allows you to have a 3 down 4-3 DT. That's not very common as many will remember with Kemoeatu and more recently with Hollis Thomas.

Most fans will hate the idea of Cofield playing NT but really this is where he fits best in a Cover 2/Jim Johnson Biltz Defense.

I keep forgetting we have a completely new offense this year

I read somewhere that Panthers philosophy (after Cam) was to draft a CB or 2 and concentrate on getting a veteran DT in free agency. They were high on McClain and they felt he slipped to them in the 3rd, so they decided to do the opposite. Thus drafting two DT's and I assume they will be targeting a CB with high priority in FA.

Brandon Hogan is REAL solid if he stays healthy and if he stays outa trouble... this kid can play his balls off

I don't really see the advantage to bringing in a vet at any position other than quarterback. We are a young team that will most likely peak two years from now if all goes well. I would rather continue being young and learn to play together.

I wouldn't dismiss Marshall so quickly - he is better than most think. Granted I don't think he is worthy of a huge paycheck, but the Gamble/Marshall tandem has been solid for several years. Getting a reliable pass rush this year will help the corner and safety position.

Do you know why some people on this board kept saying "THE marcus hudson!" when he made plays last season??

The problem with the vet QB route is that they don't always want to play the mentor role. We drafted Cam no.1 overall, it's no mystery that he's going to be the future of the franchise. I think most vet QB's like Palmer and Hass want a chance to actually start in the NFL, not to be a teacher and mentor on the bench. If we want a vet, it'll have to be a journeyman guy like Vinny Testarverde.

Vinny is still playing football?? haha

Well you are definitely right about most veteran qb's in the league today. Most of them realize that they are at least somewhat near the end of their careers and they want to go someplace to start and win.

It would be a shocker if we filled a couple of our holes.
