haven't lost it. most of the pieces are there. the others will be. there are going to be other drafts to build with, you know. not all of it has to be right now. for now, though, we have a defense that will keep our leads much better than last year. it will be at least as good as it was in 2010 and probably better and it will only continue to get better.

if you are going to use last year's defense as proof that we suck i can't help you. what we have heading into this year, if everyone is healthy, is quite a bit ahead of what we had last year.

Potential and hopefuls aren't pieces....they are potentials and hopefuls. Our starting D is scattered with them.

And we couldn't stop the Cardinals week 1 last year. Losing Ron Edwards didn't create that. Beason and company couldn't make up for all those holes.....Beason blew his foot out chasing after one of the many exposed areas.

You like this defense?

Who do you like at DT? Our band aid DT? Who do you like starting at DE across from Johnson? How do you like across from Gamble....either S position?

You like us against any offense?

We have tons of guys we hope turn into legit starters on D for Cam. But they aren't right now....we aren't going to get lucky on all those.

We have a sick LBing corps. We are one man deep if that at every other starting spot and 2 guys start at each spot.

aside from a few players, i said. DT, FS, and CB on the other side of gamble just happen to be the ones i don't like or feel really good about.

listen...you obviously disagree about all this and are a lot more pessimistic than i am about the situation...and i'm intentionally not using the word realistic because i don't believe that's the case.

we could go on and on like we have about this but i'm bored with it.

if i'm wrong about the stuff i've been saying, fine. it won't be the first time and sure won't be the last time. if you're wrong...all the better. only way to know for sure is to let the season play out.

      2024 post mortem

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025

      Evero will return as DC

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      I disagree. It’s not hard to double a WR and still play the run. It’s called a bracket which you can use with a drop down safety or an OLB. Look up how it’s done. Also in obvious passing situations, doubling a wr is not hard. Falcons torched us in obvious passing situations time after time. 2 min drill, 3rd and long to where there’s no excuse to not focus more on Drake London. Mooney was out. London was the only WR Penix was looking at.  Evero simply can’t make adjustments. He’ll most likely be fired next year. Wish we would’ve just ripped the bandaid off this year. To call all people morons who think we can do better than Evero is a very ignorant and arrogant statement. Who the hell are you?

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      By parker · Posted

      As a rookie head coach, I think he exceeded expectations.  We looked competitive in almost all our games.  I don't think he's hit his ceiling.  7 of 10 for this year.
