Know Joe personally from our time together with the Dolphins. I believe I remember him telling me he started as a ticket sales intern with the Panthers and that is where he met Beane... the two have a long history together. He’s my personal favorite candidate for his track record in personnel. Hope he comes back to Carolina to draft this team back to NFC contention year in and year out.

A week too late haha

Not a bad road trip partner.

Also worth noting that Butler has very long arms and giant hands as well. If he can develop great hand use and placement, interior offensive linemen are going to struggle to get their hands on and engage him in both pass protection and run blocking. Long arms and initial burst off the line of scrimmage, especially for a guy of his weight and power are great traits to have at the defensive tackle position. I suspect the work of Coach Washington and having guys like Star and Kawann to learn from will allow his transition to the NFL to be as smooth as possible. I'm liking this pick more and more.

My biggest worry about a potential match-up with Arizona is their speed at receiver and ability to get vertical in a hurry. Outside of Norman, we really have no excellent cover guys that can cover the deep third of the field in a hurry. Bene isn't particularly fast, and Tillman and Harper have no business trying to run with Floyd, Brown, and that rookie out of UAB. I suspect we will drop our safeties very deep and hope the front 7 can keep the running game contained.

I'm honestly not sure this has ever happened after a win, but I never ever want to watch that game again. I feel like I just got off the craziest roller coaster ride of my life.

24-13. Good guys.

Can someone explain to me where the heck CJ was on the final drive by Houston? We had Cole out there at one point, Love another with Ealy and Addison. Where was Big Money? I don't remember him getting hurt and he's by far our best pass rusher.

Line or not he didn't run this hard in Carolina the last couple years. Announcers even mentioned he lost a bunch of weight this off-season and got his explosiveness back.

DeAngelo was pretty clearly content just collecting his money the last couple years in Charlotte.

Steelers Defense = Trash.

My girlfriend didn't care about watching Panther games until we drafted Luke. @ProvAztec09

Was it Shaq that got into the backfield instantly on a blitz that allowed for Ealy to get the sack?

Can't replicate that scenario in practice quite the same. Just brutal.

That's embarrassing that we didn't take a time out and play situational football at the end of the half.
