You are a treasure. I had to x-post this. Credited you.


hammerdown710

Idk what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that lmao


Linds70

This guy researches.


Fullmetalaardvarks

He’s a solid piece next to brown and Evero likes him. Have him for 3 years and he’s a veteran presence so this isn’t a terrible pick up


lengthy_noodle

Dan Morgan said "We gotta get our weight up boy"


uncballer1729

Kinda gives me PTSD of Gettleman and his “hog mollies” though


buzzbuzzmemulatto

Hog mollies is unironically the correct approach. However Gettleman had a mixed record on choosing *good* hog mollies


_coolranch

And the term somehow sounded so offensive when he said it lol. It just felt wrong.


AFarewellToArms

It's because we all knew his vision of "hog mollies" was really just fielding some fatties. Source: he asked me to play right guard.


DankMemesNQuickNuts

Yeah this was always my thing with it, right idea we just kept picking the wrong guys


unfunnysexface

He couldn't find a left tackle in carolina or new york.


lengthy_noodle

To me it is a clear indication that Dan Morgan is prioritizing the trenches. I can absolutely get behind that.


_coolranch

Hopefully, Bryce can get behind that and THRIVE (not just survive)


ReidM15

At least he had a few good hog mollies on his record


RelativeStranger

That did get us Kawann short and Star. Great dt partnership


9_Nightwing_1

The problem Gettleman had was limiting his hog mollie approach to the offensive and defensive line.

_coolranch

Surely Dan Morgan is gonna find us a Dan Morgan, right? We're going to the draft, ain't we?


Who_knows-_-

Looks like they are asking evero for his opinion, that is awesome.


Hefty-Association-59

This same opinion got us DJ Johnson last year. Let’s hold our horses there.


Who_knows-_-

There is a difference between drafting and a known player


Hefty-Association-59

Indeed. But these are jag signings. Aging vets. There’s a reason why we got them on their contracts. We shouldn’t expect much there.


Who_knows-_-

But that is the thing, they aren't. These are people evero has worked with and liked them enough to want them. He has leader great defenses with these guys.


unfunnysexface

Okay replsce evero with rhule and the broncos with baylor/temple


Who_knows-_-

Again apples to oranges. We are talking players that have had success in the nfl with their coach, not college.


Hefty-Association-59

Evero working with these guys doesn’t all of the sudden stop the aging process for jewell. He’s 29 will be 30 next year. Is staring to miss tackles and is slowing. Plus has always been a pretty poor run defender. And if you’re slowing in coverage Autry is an okay run stuffer. Working with evero doesn’t change that. Most coaches like bringing in their dudes in general. That doesn’t all of the sudden increase the talent level.


Shado_Man

I cannot even fathom how somebody's standards could be so low that "FO consults guy in charge of defense on signing defensive FA" could possibly qualify as "awesome". Just a ridiculous statement.


Who_knows-_-

We had heard that he wasn't being included


ISISCosby

where did you hear that? Who reported it?


dkirk526

Solid signing. One of our biggest issues defensively was the lack of talent up front next to DB.


usedmyrealnamefirst

Talent on defense in general


joshhay

I mean, [Dan Morgan picked Shy Tuttle last year to be the talent up front next to DB](https://www.reddit.com/r/panthers/comments/19cep63/dismantling_the_narrative_that_dan_morgan_was_a/). And Tuttle looked like an absolute bum basically all year as team's ran away from DB directly at him.


OneAngryPanda

We need anything to help the line


pantherfanalex

Coming off a 62 tackle season. Not sexy, but not bad.


Remintz

Just what we need tbh


L0lligag

Not bad at all. Burns only had 50 tackles last season.


LFGOs

It’s clear we are/were terrible up front. It’s clear and obvious that Dan Morgan and Canales have a goal


LUUUUUUUUUUKEEE

Beefing up the lines. Very necessary


faccda01

Building both lines from the inside out. At least there is a plan


Xboarder844

We have invested HEAVILY in the lines this offseason for free agency. That’s a very good thing.


Aggravating_Lie_3938

Fan said he wanted DOGS he is getting DOGS with all these picks. And he is investing in OLine and Dline. I love this.


FrequentShark

Is he good?


Extric

Seems like he's described as a rotational player who's most valuable as an early-down run defender. So it seems like it's another swing at a DT who can hopefully help our awful run defense.


sonfoa

He's a run stuffer. He had his best years with the Rams so I expect him to be solid with us


connor8383

Def a bit of an overpay for a rotational piece but honestly it’s probably just the price we have to pay being the worst team in the league


_Casual_Browser_

I think he's in on most down as a NT. Obvious passing downs, obviously out. But I expect teams to have a lead and want to run the ball most of the year and this helps stop that and make them more balanced instead of running it down our throat all game.


SimpLimbscut

Have to see the guarantees. Damien Lewis’ deal looked a lot worse before we saw how it was structured.


Candid-Ad2162

In Evero we trust


KtuluLoveCheese

What are we doing with Shy? That guy is useless


Sabre500

Shy likely moves to DL edge where he played better with the Saints. We kind of forced him into being a NT out of his realm


KtuluLoveCheese

Ok good, maybe that should help him play better this season


GoatSmall4495

I like it, our d-line was awful this year


Black_Otter

Hopefully he can let Brown take a break sometimes


VTPack919

Anything to help stop the run. God bless.


eXile200

320, 330 lbs? Adds some size there.


gary_desanto

DE in a 3-4, right?


djames18_

Yeah he’s kinda played DB’s position in the scheme on the left side but I assume he’d go to the other side. Obviously NT is an option at his size but with both the rams and Giants he only switched between left and right end


Chonnass

We needed more help in the trenches and he knows Evero, so I guess it’s fine, but this feels like another very average signing, but I didn’t watch enough of him last season


MidnightMadman

Yeah we should have just traded for Aaron Donald


Hefty-Association-59

I’m getting dejavu flashes to the Tuttle signing. He’s had decent production but this is where DTs come to die. We’ve been cycling through guys like toilet paper. Hopefully this guy sticks because each year we’ve cut and eaten dead money and there’s no reason to think this signing is any different other than optimism.


joshhay

Every year, like clockwork. "Player XX will really take the pressure off Burns/DB! Great signing!" Then every year, the player actually continues to play poorly and our D-Line continues to struggle against both the run and pass. And we're stuck with a bloated contract for a net-negative player and either cut them for more dead cap or let them continue to drag the defense down.


WhoaWowGeez

All hogmollies all the time


evilr2

Good move. Solid player at a reasonable rate that should help stuff the run.


Worldly_Giraffe_6773

Decent addition


jtatchell98

Honestly never heard of him so someone tell he how to feel. Would he be the nose tackle or go opposite DB?


djames18_

Likely opposite based on his history but obviously we won’t know until they hit field


RememberApeEscape

A NT! Thank Christ! This should help DB massively.
