According to Walter:

Forcing Fumbles:
NFL prototype: Charles Johnson, Panthers

• Damontre Moore
  
• Alex Okafor
  
• Barkevious Mingo
  
• Dion Jordan
  
• Bjoern Werner
  
• Sam Montgomery
  
• Margus Hunt
  
• Ezekiel Ansah

Thought it was nice he got some impartial recognition.

Also the prototype in clothes-lining Matt "i look like a penis" Ryan.

[LinvilleGorge]

Barkevious Mingo has to have some of the worst stats I've ever seen for a guy who seems so highly regarded as a prospect. That and he's only 6-4, 240?

Vernon Gholston comes to mind.

[Frash Brastard]

Wow, we got some good recognition yeah!

**keeps reading** oh but it's from walterfootball

I love CJ and Hardy both, because there's no finesse to their game. Nothing but straight power moves. Reminds me of how Michael Strahan was.

[Montsta]

Hardy caught a lot of flak from folks on here when he spent all offseason last year bulking up to ~300 lbs.

Then he has his best year as a pro. fug some finesse moves, just outmuscle the man in front of you Kraken!

[Zithers]

how is cj the prototype... he's never even forced fumbles on a consistent basis in his career. then this season he popped 7.

shoulda used... idk... peppers or osi or something.

For the first time in a long time I'm not worried about our DEs and our pass rush. I am confident CJ, Hardy, and Alexander will blossom into a great trio this next season. I'm hoping we add a big body in the middle in the first our second round this year and we can run packages on passing downs getting 4 good pushers on the field at once.

[LinvilleGorge]

Agreed. My biggest concern is being able to pay Hardy long term.

Drafting Alexander was a great move. Early in the year, it looked like he was pushing to take Hardy's starting spot and that lit a fire under the Kracken's ass.

Mingo can definitely play.. he has the atleticism of a DB and the size of a LB

I'll eat crow on that one

Kind of like what they were saying about Gholston. Sorry, the stats just don't back the hype. I wouldn't touch a workout warrior in the top half of the first.

I don't think people were afraid of him adding a few pounds of muscle. They didn't want that muscle to come at the detriment of his speed. It did seem to work out nicely though.

same. going into last season i didn't want him starting.

[LinvilleGorge]

I was calling for Alexander to replace him in the starting lineup. Alexander was playing better than Hardy early on, then the Kracken exploded.
