Losing him hurts, but we'll live. Our front 7 is anchored by Davis and Kuechly and Charles Johnson has the abilit to lead that line. Short is a player on the come up and Star is a gonna be a really good player for many years. A lot of people just don't know about him. Adding someone to pair with Johnson like Hardy would be great, but it's not a necessity right now.Another year of life without Greg Hardy hurts, no? Must say, I love the Star and Short interior pairing. Uncertain how much I trust your corners against Julio, Evans, etc. I get Benwikere was a rookie and played better down the stretch.
Cam has been sacked 81 times the past two seasons. Unacceptable figure. On Newton's plate should be continued emphasis on footwork and mechanics.
Philly is that guy.
Josh Norman is a young guy with a lot of heart and a lot of aggresion. Plays with a ton of physicality and confidence and loves matching up against #1 guys. Can he handle them? Not just yet, but there's plenty of improvement to be made. And I really like Benwikere for his size. He matches up against a lot of receivers well and he makes some great plays. Secondary has Tre Boston and Roman Harper. Not sure about Boston just yet despite the plays he made the last two games. Harper is a great guy in the locker room, but he's old and losing a lot of speed. I've seen him miss a lot of tackles and get beat by receivers so many times because he can't keep up. We could definitely use an upgrade there and if possible a true lockdown corner. Theres a ton of elite/upper echelon secondary players in FA this year and with $13m in cap room we might be able to grab a good one.
And Cam definitely needs work in the accuracy department as well as understanding his reads and ggetting through his progressions more. He left a lot of guys open or just simply made very bad throws. The guys been hit something like 350-400 times in the first 4 years of his career. It's not just him anymore it's his line failing him over and over. And like everything else the line did look better down the stretch but finding a stud in the draft this year is essential.
Just being honest.
