Not good news.

[Cyclonus]

Oh Noooooes!!!! Not good at all.

[Ncstatefan]

damn I thought all news this weeek about him was good.

[Delhommey]

Well I hope we clinch before the game, because I don't think we can beat NY without Kemo.

[rayzor]

we will be OK.

it will hurt but the team is playing smarter. i don't expect it will cripple us.

i just hope he is back and healthy for the playoffs.

I thought Fox said he was optimistic about him playing...you would think that if Fox had any doubts he wouldn't comment at all.

What the hell is the deal with all the secrecy about Vincents injury???????? WTF??

[mountainpantherfan]

As for Vincent, I think it's one of those injuries where it will be a game time decision depending on how Vincent is feeling. If he can get a good push off then he will play, if not Bridges and Hangman will playing.

As for Kemo, this same story came out two days ago. This is more of Reed putting his own spin on it, assuming that Kemo will not play.

Also, I would not put it pass any NFL coach or player to play mind games. How many times have we heard such and such player probably won't be able to play on Sunday and then they play or such and such player is ready to go and then they don't play.

I will wait until Sunday around 7pm before I start to worry about Kemo and Vincent not playing.

Thanks...but what the hell is Vincents injury? I haven't heard jack poo about it. Maybe I've just been slack. :confused:

[pantherclaw]

Yeah, I figured Kemo wouldn't be ready for this weekends game. Ankle injury on a 345lb dude.

I also don't expect to see Vincent play either. He has a strained/pulled groin. That is pretty important for a linemen.

Our backups will definitely need to step up, and play well this weekend.

Not good news but we'll be fine....

[Mr. Scot]

When we first saw the final 53, one of the concerns I expressed was that we didn't have a true "nose guard" type outside of Kemo. With the changes we've made in defensive line technique this season, that'll present definite challenges to the scheme.

What worries me there is that "scheming" isn't exactly Trgovac's strong suit.

[Davidson Deac II]

If we are missing Kemo, and NY is missing Robbins, that probably equals out somewhat.

[TyHillPanthers]

Did anyone else see when Kemo got hurt, Charles Johnson came in and played the DT position? Thats how he got his sack on Cutler..he was on the same side as Peppers. Im confident if they do that type of pass rush loading up the left side we should be fine especially with Eli needing more time for his receivers to get open. As for the running..we'll put that in the hands of our LBs and Chris Harris . I think we'll be fine.
