Is the defensive line rotation deep enough?
Yesterday, Snow told reporters that he plans to utilize an eight-man rotation for the defensive line this season.
On the edge, that group will consist of Brian Burns, Yetur Gross-Matos, Stephen Weatherly and Marquis Haynes. It remains to be seen what roles Efe Obada and Shareef Miller will be filling. Inside, Snow says he’ll be rotating Short, Brown, Zach Kerr and Bravvion Roy.
We are expecting a breakout year from Burns, who was limited by a wrist injury and questionable coaching decisions as a rookie. We also know that Short is a top-10 interior lineman when he’s healthy. While there’s plenty of potential to go around, the rest of these DL are far from sure things. If the Panthers need more help up front, it should become apparent right away.
