If there was any question about where he'd play...try taking a shot every time D'Mo says "in the box".
-
BTW... I will refer to our GM only as "D'Mo" from this point forward! If TD can call him that, so can I.

The only other player, IMO, that competes for best-ever-Panther is Peppers, and I'm still pissed that he left the team for so long. Not that complicated, just Little Man Syndrome. I'm 6'4" 240 and little guys used to always stink-eye me when I'd go out like they had something to prove. I'm the most laid back SOB ever, but, without fail, some 5-9 guy would bow up at me at the bar. Smitty's had to work twice as hard to be that damned good, of course he has a chip on his shoulder.

[Bootleg Football] The 10 Offensive Gems of the 2025 NFL Draft
shaqattaq replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
Ay 55:45, EJ makes the bet argument I've heard yet against taking a TE or FS at # 8... you're handing them a 4 year, $24M ish contract - fully guaranteed. With OLB, WR, and O-line making so much money, you have to ask yourself if it is worth the investment when a TE or FS can be had for cheaper. He was talking about the RB from UNC, but the point is the same. -
[Bootleg Football] The 10 Offensive Gems of the 2025 NFL Draft
shaqattaq replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
EJ mentions that really good RBs will still be there in the 4th, potential starters, so I'm all in on that plan. I just can't see spending a top 100 pick when we have 2 1000 yard rushers on the roster this year and invested a 2nd round pick last year on a potential stud that we still haven't seen play. Hell, I might slot in a RB for 1 of our early 5th round picks and let him develop this year and be insurance JUST IN CASE Brooks never fully heals (which I think he will). If neither work out as RB2, we can always get another 1 year rental for 2026. -
Meh, he told me that Mingo would be the next him! I'm not sure that I trust his opinion!

Tennessee Titans: Mike Green, DE, Marshall The Titans take a replacement for Harold Landry. Green has been a monster for the Thundering Herd this season, with a ton of big plays for the Marshall defense. In 2024, Green had 17 sacks with three forced fumbles, 81 tackles, and two passes batted. The 6-foot-4, 248-pounder is very fast and explosive off the edge. In 2023, Green had 43 tackles with 4.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

Could be. Both players are good at batting down passes.

The more I ponder it, the more I think we go with Malaki Starks from Ga. He's a solid FS, who played 671 snaps last year in coverage (400 as FS and 271 at nickel). He's also 1 of the only round 1 talents we've formally visited with, Shemar Stewart and Jalon Walker being the other 2. We don't have a FS on the roster other than last year's UDFA. I think that there will be plenty of edges still there at 57.

Panthers re-work Adam Thielen’s contract
shaqattaq replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
This is exactly what I'm talking about! Overview Feisty slot-only target who has maximized his talent and honed his craft. Restrepo is a route chef who reeks of urgency and plays much faster than the stopwatch is likely to time him. His footwork, leverage and burst allowed consistent separation from man coverage on the college level but contested catches await him on the next level. His instincts, blitz recognition and talent to scramble open when plays break down will make him a favorite of quarterbacks and play-callers. Subpar length and average measurables could create some hesitation for NFL evaluators but the play and football demeanor feel translatable as a future starting slot." -
Panthers re-work Adam Thielen’s contract
shaqattaq replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Man, I really want that to be true. With a full year in the system, I expect him (and XL for that matter) to make a jump in production. I said in another post that we still need to add 3 WR's to the active roster. I'll be shocked if we don't grab a mid tier FA and use a mid round draft pick. -
Panthers re-work Adam Thielen’s contract
shaqattaq replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
I really want a mid round slot WR who is already a route tree, YAC guy WITH PROVEN COLLEGE PRODUCTION. Not a allstar, but a smart, hard-worker. There's always a handful of these guys in the 3rd and 4th rounds that go on to have solid careers. I have not done the research this year to know who that guy is, but am open to opinions. -
you called it!

Panthers agree to 1-year deal with RB Rico Dowdle
shaqattaq replied to UNCrules2187's topic in Carolina Panthers
Morgan said that he wanted to be a running offense. Last year he brings in the best 2 guard FA's and locks down Chuba long term. SO FAR, this year he's resigned Corbett, kept Mays, resigned Tremble who is a damned good blocker, regardless of whether you like his catching ability, and signed a top RB FA with proven NFL production last season. Also finally got out from under the terrible Sanders contract. Great job IMO. -
Panthers agree to 1-year deal with RB Rico Dowdle
shaqattaq replied to UNCrules2187's topic in Carolina Panthers
So, we swoop in last year and draft Brooks out from under Dallas last year. He re-injures himself and will miss all of 2025, so we sign their 2024 starter. "In his first year as a starter, Dowdle ran for 1,079 yards (12th in the NFL) with 5 touchdowns, adding 249 receiving yards for a total of 1,328 all-purpose yards — a breakout season that put him on the map." 1 year deal makes it sound like Brooks is still the long term plan., but I like this signing. PLUS we get to screw Dallas in the process. Win win. -
Hell, they did it to kickoffs last year!
