He does have a strength: Getting burned in pass coverage and whiffing on tackles....
I'm not sure what Bostic has left, but just on experience I'd go with him over Mayo. I'd still give Landon a call if I were them.
Bostic really had nothing left in 2021 when he got injured. He would be out of the NFL if it was not for Rivera.
Both of those guys would be a clear upgrade to what we have.
Well I'm definitely not going to put on my cape for Bostic. I've never really been a fan. I'm not expecting him to make plays for us. Right or wrong, I think they are all in on Cole. If he can help Cole it's a plus.
And that is the problem. We are weakening the LB corp in moving Cole to a position he is NOT familiar with. They tried Davis at MLB last year...it failed. They moved Davis to outside LB after the error was realized.
Honestly I believe his reputation with players and how well he is respected amongst his coaching peers keeps him viable. He hasn't really shown a ton of success as a winning football coach. He has shown coaching nepotism which hasn't helped him. You see how quickly he moved on from his former trainer? RR knew as the centric coach that RV was writing prescriptions needed to ensure he had ample pain meds on the road for his players. Ron knows more than you think.
How about drafting a real MLB in round 2?And that is the problem. We are weakening the LB corp in moving Cole to a position he is NOT familiar with. They tried Davis at MLB last year...it failed. They moved Davis to outside LB after the error was realized.
Cole's best season was at outside LB last year and he is a better fit for that. They had Mayo at MIKE last year to free up Cole. We keep trying different mix and matches and should just do the smart thing and sign a freaking MIKE LB. Instead, we keep experimenting with it. If Cole is best suited for OLB, and has had his best success there, why change it?
We should have signed, traded for, or drafted (best option) a MIKE. For a head coach and DC to both be former LB, it literally makes no sense how they have approached this. Davis is more comfortable at OLB and Cole had his best season as an OLB...so....we are going to change things up now? I understand we run a 2 LB scheme, but it appears Rivera is looking to mask the mistake of drafting Davis last year. There is nothing in stone that says we must have Davis and Cole on the field at the same time. If they are BOTH natural OLB, then one starts and one sits. We should have brought in a natural MLB to fix this. Rivera keeps guessing here.

Could have done that but Rivera created a hole by cutting IMan and letting Settle walk. He had to draft for depth in the 2nd because of his mistake.
I would put zero faith in Forrest who clearly couldn't tackle last year. Butler has shown little since drafting him. He can run, great.
Ioanidis was a captain last week for the Panthers. He appeared to be in great shape. Going to miss him.
It's tough to write off Rivera's plan at LB before the season starts, but I can't say I disagree with you on anything you said.And that is the problem. We are weakening the LB corp in moving Cole to a position he is NOT familiar with. They tried Davis at MLB last year...it failed. They moved Davis to outside LB after the error was realized.

Butler was allegedly the top ST safety in the draft. I think we should utilize that. Is he a starting BN or S in the NFL? It's too early to tell.
Not going to lie, I liked the hire. Up close, not so much. We appear to be the Carolina rejects without a SB appearance. He definitely won't get to one here this year or next so then what? Is he going to rehire his centric self? Lol.
I get your point, but it doesn't make sense. Why take a player who has grown and excelled at a position and change that?
