As far as play on the field, Galette 2.0; one dimensional; plus, he'll be 30 next season and I'd expect his speed to really start tailing off and that's what his game is predicated...

With the speed that we'll have coming from the inside rush, we really more of a contain and squeeze defensive end vs a speed linebacker type that Galette was...

Rather have a bigger, longer, taller Defensive End setting the edge; kind of a 6-4/6-5, 280/290 dancing bear with wingspan to really slow down those wheel routes and screens...

I agree with your assessment of the player. But this is where I respectfully disagree," the speed we have coming from the inside". The reason I have to disagree, which I admit pressure was better, it's still missing something, it's missing that 1 player to put them over the top on the inside and until they find that 1 player it will be the same look as last season with pressures and sacks and we looked better than recent years we were still poor in those areas. This is the reason I'm not as high on Farley like others are. JP take into account how much Allen blitzes and we still were not able to get to the qb and without crushing the middle our inside just look better than it really is. We can't just have decent pressure it has to be pure pressure to work.

Halloween, you need to split the season and look at the team in the second half of the season; Rankins was reactivated and Onyemata was starting to learn the game; then, from that point look at the progression of the interior rush and you will see markedly improvement; even after the first half of the second ATL game, these boys ate; and you need to remember also that Davison tore a pectoral muscle and played with it injured the whole season and just had it surgically repaired; even without bringing back Fairley, we're looking real good on our interior line...

I can agree about the rush being better but looking at the whole season or half the season it's still missing the pressure needed to put them up there in the good catagory. I may be the minority here but another good NT to go along with Davison and I think our interior is set possibly for years. I think with this move alone improves the unit as a whole. Adding a MLB like Klein and bringing back Anthony to the middle should shore up that position, Ellerbe and Stupar are fine, Robertson slides back outside and draft a stud OLB would be perfect at how I look at it. I still think getting rid of Kruger would be a huge mistake. I'm all in for trading Vaccarro, drafting another SS to plug in from day 1 and use that pick on a CB. I pick up a CB in FA and the draft, I also resign Moore, he played well in my opionion he's not made of glass like the rest of them. I highly doubt it goes this way, but hey, I'm still trying to fix this 28th ranked D the best I can?

FA Kawann Short will govern it all.

I am expecting top 5 DT money making the signing of there UFA impossible.

Mario is Young and up coming it would appear. He flashes. Not steady at this point but the signs look good that he can get better.


Mario is in the process of taking over for age so I see the panthers doing all they can to keep him off the market. Just starting to play as a starter means the panthers should be able to keep him cheap. He is just now gettiing his chance to be the starter.

Thats why I am looking at AJ Klien a player when called produced year in and year out no matter where he played. I think he is one that might just leave to get an honest shot at starting. Saints are a good team to offer him that chance.

I'm curious what type of money Fairley wants wheather we sign him or not? I would hate for the FO to hand out another huge contract to a good player but no where near a game changer.

this is one of my fears. the other is him getting the money and once again stops playing and ends up eating wings in the press box

Linebackers are good and as always we need DE and CB's I say we throw some money at it this year as well as draft heavy.
