I don't know he fired off on a runner the other night looked like Luke firing thru the line and tackling the runner. either way hes better hes better then Klein and should be our 3rd LB on the field.

yeah...he's a master at avoiding blockers and getting to the ball. That's a great trait to have, especially because that seems to be one of his intangible gifts. He's a ball hawk with great vision.

I also want to add how fast our secondary has come in 2 years. 

 

We were signing scrubs off the street (some of whom were gettlemagic) a few years ago, now with Norman, Shaq, Bene, Tillman, Boston and companywe have one of the best secondaries in the league. Shaq will be a big part of this as we saw on his endzone plays against Miami. 

He will have lots of versatility, dropping back into pass coverage unexpectedly (without bringing different personnel) and generate Turnovers for our offense. 

I'm not sure we know how fast our secondary is....if Peanut and Harper get matched on one side? 

We still don't know what we have in Peanut to be honest.  Harper is still scary out there IMO

In thinking about Shaq an how he's a bit of a tweener, I'm reminded of something Jalen Rose said about basketball (hear me out), don't know if it is as applicable to football but it goes like this. Positions are arbitrary.  They are just made up to describe a certain type of play or responsibility, but the play comes first. What really matters who can play and who can succeed taking on the most responsibility/the responsibilities the team needs.

So is Shaq a Will or a Sam or safety? What are we supposed to do with someone who doesn't have "prototypical size"? I kind of don't care. The kid can play and will make plays for us. He had a solid game against Miami and I'm excited to see what else he can do.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
