I back into my 32 waist jeans and under 200 pounds. Home gym is working great. simple dumbell workouts, pullup bar, and plenty of running or walking. No gym membership needed.

Oh yeah, for Mr Scot

Jawuan James - OT - Tennessee With the Panthers in dire need of two new tackles, I believe they may be taking a long look at Jawuan James to compete immediately for the starting right tackle position. James fits the mold of a David Gettleman lineman 6'6" and 311 pounds. His frame could easily put on another 10 pounds by September. At Tennessee, James showed NFL caliber strength and speed as well as technique. James has the ability to head down field in search of second level defenders on run plays and scrambles. Set a UT record for 49 games started by an offensive lineman, all at right tackle. His durability is unquestioned. His extensive experience at RT makes him a possible game 1 starter. James is currently projected in rounds 3 or 4, which makes him a prime target for the Panthers late 3rd round pick. Click here to view the article

He isn't projected as a top teir LT. More likely a stud guard or RT. We won't be finding a Jordan Gross at our drafting position, so we might as well get a top tier player at another position that is still in dire need.

Bitonio plays mean and hard, but not dirty. So you can take him off New Orleans and New England's draft board.

He is projected late 2nd - 3rd round.

I think that seals Mr Scot's approval.

Over the next few weeks I will be highlighting players I would like to see in a Carolina Panthers uniform. Joel Bitonio is one of those guys. Joel Bitonio 6-4 302 Pounds 5th year senior out of Nevada. Bitonio showed both the intelligence and tenacity that propel players into a solid NFL career. He performed better than originally expected at the combine, shooting him up to possibly the second but more likely third round. Why the Panthers need him: - Bitonio can play any position on the line - Finishes blocks with conviction. Known to have a mean streak. - Does not give up on plays or take plays off. - One of the fastest offensive line players in the draft. Would like to see him down field in front of Cam on designed runs. - Earned starting spot his Sophomore year. Not intimidated by established players. Click here to view the article

Snowing in Huntersville

Five Carolina Panthers have made the Pro Bowl Luke Kuechly Greg Hardy Cam Newton Ryan Kalil Mike Tolbert Unsurprisingly, This is the most pro bowl players the Carolina Panthers have had in many seasons. Players who I feel were snubbed... Thomas Davis Star Lotulelei Brad Nortman Official link from Panthers.com http://www.panthers....89-26f2cccb1501 Click here to view the article

I like the person that always gives my sidelines threads one star.... lol

In what was a great record breaking win for the Carolina Panthers, a few key details are beginning to emerge as story lines as the NFL playoffs grows near. 1. Cam Newton is the League MVP. It really isn't even a question. Cam may not be the best player in the league, but he is the most valuable player to any team in the league. Without Cam, this Panthers team would be no where near a winning record. 2. This defense is dominating. And when I say dominating I mean completely dismantling teams at their core. This is the type of defense that wins Superbowls. 3. Mike Tolbert is our best option at running back. He is just shifty enough to find a seam, and he is one hell of a load to bring down. I would like to see more two back sets with Tolbert and Brockel. This rhino package could have real possibilities. I'm not sure what to make of Jonathan Stewart. He just doesn't seem to have the power he did in years past. His ankles may be getting the better of him, as sad as that is to say. 4. Thomas Davis is the undisputed heart of this defense. This season he reminds me a lot of Derrick Brooks, always in the mix. If Davis does not make the pro bowl, it will be a real shame. 5. AJ Klein is good. I mean real good. If Klein was playing on a lesser defense, he would be the talk of the team. In Carolina, he is just another solid linebacker. His Glennon sack was a thing of beauty. I barely had time to snap the picture. 6. Cam and Ginn continue to develop a real chemistry and friendship. Before every game Cam makes a point to "airplane" around Ginn. It makes me wonder if we may see another "x-clown" legendary type play in the playoffs between these two. 7. The Panthers keep the opposing coached beyond frustrated. Schiano was complaining the entire game to anyone that would listen. The officials didn't seem to concerned with his opinions. 8. The Panthers secondary has been much maligned, and have been beaten badly from time to time. However, they do seem to make a play when the Panthers need them to. 9. There was lots of holding done by the Bucs offensive line in this game. I know there is holding in every game that goes uncalled, but it seemed to me to be more than the norm. The officials need the game to be played and the quarterback to be protected, they may be soft on the holding penalties from here on out. Next week we have the Saints which will decide, for now, who is the division leader. I will be making the trip and providing you all with more images and thoughts. Go Panthers.

Yes, the score of the game is no indicator. Good lord.

Scoreboard. Holding the Pats and Tom Brady to 20 points on MNF is a good defensive effort. You are trying to hard to be pessimistic.

I'm not suggesting it. I am telling you that was their ranking on NFL.com pre-Pats.

One needs to be that way in Miami with all of the serial killers on the lose.

Then you haven't watched much football this year. The Patriots had just put up 55 in Pittsburgh against the #4 defense in the league.

Dolphins fans are typically a loyal and passionate bunch. They have seen highs and lows, but remain dedicated to their team. Its difficult not to like them. I browsed ThePhins.com for a glimpse of how they see Sunday's matchup... People love Luke, and why wouldn't they? Correct. Could be. Arizona comes to mind. I doubt it. I think it will be within 6 points. Yes, yes they are. If you think holding Tom Brady to 20 points on MNF is underwhelming... well.... Click here to view the article

Theres the Ginn play we needed. Touchdown incoming.

Smitty is back in his home state... Wondering if he stayed up late with friends.....

This is Arizona all over again.

Frank Gore is lightyears ahead of any RB we have
