While the offense is pretty close to set in stone http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dontari-poe-jersey , there’s a bit more to worry about with the defense. Let us break down what the roster could look like at this point in 3 weeks.Defensive LineStarters: Wes Horton, Dontari Poe, Kawann Short, Mario AddisonDepth: Julius Peppers, DaeShon Hall, Marquise Haynes, Kyle Love, Vernon ButlerWes Horton and Julius Peppers will likely be co-starters, with Hall and Haynes coming in as rotational guys. Short and Poe should hold down most of the starting snaps, however I’d like to see Butler more involved as a pass rusher. We could see a lot of Short and Butler in passing situations. While the team hasn’t made a top heavy investment at defensive end, both Hall and Haynes should make it as former draft picks. Haynes should be the primary reliever for Addison as a speed rusher.LinebackerStarters: Thomas Davis, Luke Kuechly, Shaq ThompsonDepth: David Mayo, Jermaine Carter, Ben Jacobs Jarius Wright Jersey , Andre SmithWith Davis out 4 weeks, both David Mayo and Jermaine Carter could see a decent amount of time as the 3rd linebacker. Carter has really impressed this preseason. Ben Jacobs brings proven veteran presence and special teams ability, and the team spent a draft pick on Smith. It is possible Jared Norris beats him out for a spot here, however. Those last two linebacker spots are certainly still fluid.CornerbackStarters: James Bradberry, Donte JacksonDepth: Captain Munnerlyn, Kevon Seymour, Corn ElderWhile many fans have been clamoring for Lorenzo Doss, I think Seymour sticks even if he gets beat out by Jackson (which at this point, I believe Jackson is in the drivers seat to start). Captain Munnerlyn still holds down that nickel spot, so it appears the 5th spot would be up for grabs. I think Elder ends up keeping it, though he’s got Doss and Cole Luke breathing down his neck there. Elder flashed some good play in his first week, and I want to see more of him in the next three weeks. If a guy like Doss is going to make it, he will really need to shine.SafetyStarters: Mike Adams, Da’Norris SearcyDepth: Colin Jones, Rashaan GauldenI really don’t see any of this changing from now to week one. Adams and Searcy are locked in as the starters. Gaulden could end up seeing rotational play early on Authentic Da'Norris Searcy Jersey , as he’s impressed during the offseason. But with Donte Jackson at corner they have an emergency safety option, and Colin Jones simply brings more to the table than the rest of the guys. We could see Demetrious Cox as a practice squad signee, but I don’t think he beats out Jones here. Despite this idea that Jones isn’t worth it, he has a lot of experience in the scheme. His ability to play nickel CB in a pinch coupled with his special teams prowess makes him more valuable than the others trying to make the roster.I could see the Panthers making a move in the secondary, but overall I think your starting 11 are pretty set. However, feel free to share your thoughts. Ed. Note - For those of you who enjoyed this series last year, we’ve decided to change it up for 2018. Instead of focusing our attention on the head coach of our opponent, we’ve opened it up to anyone affiliated with the organization. So, instead of “Marvin Lewis looks like...” you’ll get a collection of jokes about other folks as well.
