Dwan on Mario Addison's 2.5-sack performance last game:

"He's more than capable of doing that every week," Edwards said of Addison. "He's a tremendous player. ... A great pass rusher."

Kawaan Short on Addison:

"In this locker room, we know what Mario can do...and how fast he is off the edge. We knew he was going to come out."

Addison has 4 sacks in 2 games.  So I'm liking him.

 

Horton is a pretty good player coming into his own.

 

Ealy has not looked good, but he's a rookie and we weren't asking to much from him.

At least he's getting some experience.  

 

I'm hoping Alexander shows some progress when he gets back.  

 

For everyone thinking we wouldn't have Greg next year, welp, here's the tryouts for these guys.

Wes Horton on his father:

Q. Your dad (Mike Horton) was Gemini on ‘American Gladiators.’ What’s your best Gladiators story?

A. I don’t remember too much of it because I was too young. But I have pictures of us playing on the set, climbing up the Eliminator. We were rolling around in the balls. So we had full access to all the sets.

...

Q. Did he play football?

A. He did. He played for the Eagles and Patriots, then played in the USFL and the CFL. In the USFL he played with Reggie White. He had to block Reggie White every day in practice with the Memphis Showboats.

Q. Can you take him?

A. All the way up until recently, I’ve always been pretty intimidated by my father. He’s a black belt in karate. He could probably kick anyone’s ass. So I would imagine he could probably kick my ass.

...

Q. If they brought Gladiators back again, could you hang?

A. Of course I could hang. I’ve got Gemini in my blood.

MICHAEL HORTON

Gemini was one of the orginal Gladiators and was the team captain throughout his four year stay. He was an unstoppable force in Atlaspheres, Duel and Powerball and had great respect for the Contenders. Since leaving the arena, Gem-Gem-Gem Gemini has appeared in the hit movie 'Night at the Roxbury' and is now a Hollywood stunt actor.

This needs to play every time he gets a sack from now on

Panthers.com on Horton/Addison/Ealy:

head coach Ron Rivera said: "We feel good about the young guys"

...

"I know we are going to go out there and bring the intensity," Addison said. "We are going to show up for this defense. The defensive line is going to show up....Whatever opportunities I get as a D-end, I am going to give it my all. I'm going to do the same thing I did last week."

...

Addison's main asset is speed, and he puts it to good use. "Mario (Addison) might be one of the faster guys on this team," linebacker Thomas Davis said after the 24-7 win over Detroit. ... Carolina has been utilizing Addison's speed on passing downs, when he can pin his ears back and use his explosiveness to terrorize offensive tackles.

...

The 6-foot-5, 270-pound Horton saw action on 47 percent of the defensive plays in Week 2 – second to Johnson among defensive ends. His size helps him set the edge against the run.

...

Ealy was on the field for 30 plays in Week 2. ... "Kony played very well for us," Rivera said. "I like the effort that he gave." Ealy's versatility makes him special. He can rush from both end spots and the interior. Ealy's physical gifts and college production made him a first-round talent in the eyes of many. ... "I feel like my level of play has definitely progressed," Ealy said. ... "I love the rotation (we have at DE). We are winning, kicking butt," Ealy said. "We are doing it together, and that's the difference maker with this D-line."

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
