Panthers Trade for DT!!!!!

[d-run]

The Panthers aren't done at DT. This is a start. We will get a starter with Leonard being a backup.

I was thinking this also....but maybe we are just hoping this isn't the end.

Often times you want a guy that either didn't fit a prior system or just wasn't given the right chances.

If he comes in hungry he should do fine.

Anything more than a 4th I would not like long term but my calendar says 2009 so I worry about that now.

I'm afraid Hurney and Fox would give up too much, in an effort for a decent season to save their jobs. So what if they screw us over down the road, won't matter if they aren't here. One thing about Seifert, he setup Fox well for success

as it stands, if we have a bad season Everette Brown is our #1 draft pick next year in what will be a deeper draft.

normally when it says undisclosed its a low round pick. i could be wrong but i dont see him bein worth more than a 6th. i juss hope this isn't the only we move we make. id like to see one more big body brought in

[CM86]

OMFG?!!111?! Real Panthers news... i'm not sure how to react...

good pick up. hopefully he'll take advantage of his situation here. i'm also convinced we're not done in this dept.

Quite possible.

Word is the player they're targeting is Sumguy Nunofusartalkingbout

[PanthaSan]

I remember him from Fresno State. He was a monster there and I think he will do nicely for us.

Plenty of solid DT's don't have great stats. Their main job is to move the pile, interupt the flow of the play, and redirect the runner. That does not show up.

Spot on. clog the middle...take up space...take on double teams...let the LB's flow and make the play.

Oh, the unappreciated life of a Defensive Tackle.

[koolkatluke]

One more move in that position would be nice.

[jbland]

Big body, I hope he works out.

[Kingpatecu]

not the Brown I was hoping for, but at least he will fit salary wise and is a big body at 325.

[SCP]

Our defense still needs to remember how to tackle.

But a big body is what we need to keep OG's and C's off our LBs.

Hope we pick up one more big DT though. Then I'd feel a lot better.
