Quote:The health of our DLine is more of a concern than losing KB truthfully. Our two studs DTs have been out hurt. KK Short is more precautionary while Star has a stress fracture in the same foot that he broke last year that shut down his season. Big guys and reoccurring foot problems is an issue. Both of those guys are ridiculously good and without them it puts more pressure on Luke and doesn't allow him to do what he does. Charles Johnson has been out with an ankle but he should be fine for week one - there's no reason to make him do too much in the preseason.
The other DE position has been a problem since Hardy is gone. Neither Ealy nor Alexander have done much to impress.
If the line gets back together we have one of the best pass rushes in the league. If it stays like this then we are in a ton of trouble
Agreed with this. Short was a monster every time I watched Carolina play. Reminds me of Sen'Derrick Marks in a way actually.
It's going to be a really good game.
Quote:I don't understand the Dolphins fear. We almost beat them last year with Blake's INTs... And we are much better than last season
Well they improved as well. It's going to be a close game also, definitely winnable.

Yeah they've improved, just seems like a lot of people are putting them in a class of like Seattle or Denver and that they're going to crush us. My only worry in that game is Suh
Quote:I remember the "basketball team" at receiver we had. They are only valuable in the red zone if you can actually get to the red zone. While Benjamin has been a nice addition for them, I don't see it with Devin Funchess.
I expected Funchess at TE in the NFL. Still might be the best place for him.

0% chance of that happening. They're treating him like KB last year and having him just learn the X route.
Quote:So who is Corey Brown?
AKA Philly Brown. Don't know much about him except he made a few big plays last year. The Panthers seem to be high on him.
I could totally see him burning us for 100 yds and a few TDs only to fade into obscurity for the rest of the year.
In 20 minutes on NFL Network they're airing the Panthers-Dolphins game. Tune in to scout our first two opponents.
