Panthers Jared Allen - First Impressions

[therealmjl]

Indeed.

If RR is concerned about Addison not being "big" enough to be an every down DE, then I'd say Jared needs to put on a few pounds...

I think that was just a nice way for Rivera to say Mario isn't "good" enough to be an every down DE. His only impact is rushing the passer...not the case with Allen (hopefully).

You're probably right about the MA deal, but at any rate, a NFL 4-3 DE should ideally weight more than 255 pounds

With that being said, I don't give a fug what he weighs as long as he can get pressure on the opposing QB.

Dear Jameis, prepare thy anus

The Panthers trade for a future Hall of Famer three games into the season for peanuts.

 

Talk about something no one saw coming. Props to the FO.

What I was not expecting was how quickly Allen seems to have taken up the leadership and mentor role left vacant by Charles Johnson (now on IR). 

Allen was especially talkative and demonstrative with both Mario Addison and Wes Horton. Throughout practice, Allen would stop and chat or demonstrate a move of the hips or perhaps a hand movement. The little things that can turn an average defensive end into a good one. 

I was really hoping to see the name Kony Ealy in this paragraph. If Ealy has any sense he will get under Jared's wing and stay there as long  as possible.

Allen has 3 inches on Addison, and that doesn't account for strength.  Allen is extremely strong.

There seems to be a Bears/ Panthers thing going on in the last few years.  I am liking it better than the old Clevland/Panthers thing that used to happen.  One of my favorites related to Chicago when Moose came back here after a stint as a Bear and said ( sic )

" Chicago is where receivers go to die  "

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I want young Master Winston to see the aforementioned demonstrative moves this Sunday.  Leadership factor alone almost makes the pick up a win IMO.

Lol at Huddlers critiquing a future Hall of Famer on his playing weight....

[SamMills4Life]

He's so damn skinny in comparison to Short.

[dave-o]

He brings us some swagger too !!

Man I wish CJ didn't get hurt and we could have these 2 on the field at the same time right away.

Pop quiz hot shot....what happens if we never would have gotten him if CJ wasn't hurt.  Would you still NOT want CJ hurt?  well, WOULD YOU?!?!??!
