Seems to be some sleeping on Hogan.

He is basically a rookie. Could some also be overhyping him? He needs time to develop....

[CRA]

People are sleeping on one of our rookie DTs from last year....and I ain't talking about Fua or McClain.

[Marguide]

Hogan at CB2
Smith at FS
Butler comes in for nickle pkgs.
Neblett at 3 tech
Kuechly at MLB
Silatolu at LG
Medlock at K (I hope)

[MadHatter]

Darius Butler #2
Jason Shirley next to Ron Edwards
Reggie Smith with Charles Godfrey

Shirley is another fat guy type of DT....just like Edwards. The other DT will be a quicker UT...likely eithe McClain or Neblett

Very true. Some may be overhyping Hogan but some aren't recognizing him either. Hogan hasnt had a good chance to show anything, but when he was out there he held his own. I think anyother criticism on him at this point doesnt really make sense(as far as what he did on the field is concerned).

Between Butler, Norman, Hogan. I think we have ourselves a good competition going. Wish Dennard was in this convo though. I'll let it go soon. =(

Hogan #2
Capt in the nickle

curious how the safety situation will pan out, especially with the new coach

[jtnc]

Hogan will be #2.

[Ken]

For now I think Hogan will be #2CB.
Nakamura will be FS.
No clue about UT, but if I have to guess I'll say McClain.
Amini will start at Guard as well.
I also predict that FA90 will start at RE at the halfway mark of the season.

I hope hogan or Norman will be the number 2 corner. I think butler will be starting tho. I like him as well

Not really, he's had a full season of practice, just little game time. He'll know the playbook inside out and be up to NFL speed at this point. It was basically a redshirt year - I think he could have played if we were making a playoff push and were desperate, but the team wisely decided to be cautious with him.

He'll win the #2 job pretty comfortably I think.

Hogan is the guy, besides Gamble; Hogan is the most heady and intelligent corner we have. Now I do think that Norman may be the most athletic corner as I am probably the only one on this board that actually got to see him play live I will say that he is very athletic and makes some of the most acrobatic plays I have ever seen, but he just doesn't have the intangibles right now.

Hogan makes SMART plays. I don't know if you guys remember when Hogan jammed a wide out at the line and forced him out of bounds resulting in a penalty when that wide out came back in bounds and was the first one to touch the ball, well if you do; you know what I am talking about when I say smart and heady plays.

I think Butler and Munnerlyn will be given every chance to compete with Hogan but at the end of the day I just see them as top tier nickel backs in the league.

the panthers #2 corner isn't on the roster yet.

Fiz, you dumb animal.

[CheeseCP]

Hogan should be the #2 corner with Captain playing the nickel.

Nakamura will start at FS.

McClain will start at DT next to Edwards.

Silatolu will start at one of the guard positions with Hangman on the other side.
