Kurt Coleman Info

[Mr. Scot]

Coleman is a lot more physical, decoud was always a bitch

Rivera prefers physical safeties.

The common thread of our signings this year are players who have previously played for our coaches. The players know the system and can hit the ground running. The coaches know the drive, scheme fit, and the weaknesses of the player. Less mistakes are generally made this way.

If we swing and miss on a CB in the draft, I'd like to see us pick up Peanut Tillman who was a pro bowler for RR in Chicago.

Actually, the absolute worst thing that could happen is he gets burnt like toast on one of his rare snaps on field and cost a very important game on a touch down.

 

 

Let's see what the dude has in them though!

[DeeJay]

Dude was terrible for Philly. Was a ST player moved to starter role bc of lack of depth. Can't cover and average tackler.

Rather have Louis Delmas

You bitch about anybody carolina signs

[RevJ]

Loved his work on "Diff'rent Strokes" but seems a little short to play safety.

The most interesting news to me is that yet another FA signing gets a 2-year deal.

In 2013 Gettleman handed out a ton of 1-year deals (Munnerlyn, Mitchell, Ginn, Mikell, Florence, etc) and after some of those guys had breakout seasons they left and got paid. It left a lot of holes on the team and forced Dave to really hit a grand slam in back to back seasons on his cheap FA signings because of our cap situation. He swung for the fences again but missed badly on a few guys.

To me this is a sign of Dave adapting and making changes. And most importantly, learning from his mistakes. He's still sticking to his philosophy and gameplan, but he's improving upon it. He's confident that he can do his homework and find talented players that are cheap. But instead of giving them 1-year deals he's locking them up for 2-years. Now if any of these guys have a breakout season we get them for a cheap 2nd year instead of having to overpay them or lose them as a FA and have holes on the team all over again.

I like it.

solid perspective.

He is from Dayton Ohio and his dad was my assistant principal. Kurt spoke a few times at the school. Very nice guy with a knack for the ball. He was a playmaker at OSU

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

Nothing wrong with this signing some of you are overreacting, it's a solid depth signing and if it doesn't work out he's a solid special teams player I don't think he's gonna be thrust into a starting role unless he legit earns it in camp...I think some people forget how absolutely abysmal our special teams were last year! This also allows us flexibility in the later rounds of the draft to take a chance on players too crack the starting lineup rather than be forced to play special teams roles due to lack of personel

[PantherFanOne]

Seems we are catching Safety Kurt Coleman on the upswing of his career. This may be a good signing,worse case sceriro is that Coleman will be a special team player and backup safety.

[Ginnforpresident]

Love this signing! Love the depth! Hope he turns out to be a stud.

[Catweisers]

I like it ,I love it, I want some more of it!!!!!

 

Go Panthers~!!!!!!!!!!!

[uncpanther]

Definitely fits a need on special teams and may turn out to be a lot more.

[Mojo]

I think we're grabbing this guy at the right time.

Carolina Chuck's reaction to everything Gettleman does reminds me of that scene in Saturday Night Fever where Tony Manaro tells his father he got a 4 dollar a week raise and the father is like not impressed and Tony's all like " I KNEW YOU'D PISS ON IT"
