Don't let it get to you. Kurb thinks he is all knowing and everyone else is an Idiot. Watch this I guarantee he calls me a idiot.

If you are a player in the Professional Football league you should be able to do those sprints. I don't care if your 400 lbs. I think it shows more that Kemo didn't keep himself in as good of shape in the offseason then it being coaches fault. He only practice for what 15 mins? Come on now Kemo.

I don't think Kemo was in great shape to start camp, but his massive size will always put him at risk of injury when sprinting. If the Panthers decided to end the policy of having Kemo sprint, then we'd be better off imo.

The Panthers need to stop forcing 350 pound DTs to sprint. If you think that's a dumb idea.. well that's on you.

hahahahahaha. f**king classic! put this one in the hall of fame.

Its not an argument, you stated your dumbass opinion about big players not running sprints, which they probably need them more than others, cause they tend to let themselves get out of shape.

I wish you could tell your theory about big players not running wind sprints to every college, and pro team's strength and conditioning coaches. They would laugh at you, like we are now.

Name calling is boring. I'm more interested in the issue at hand. I think the Panthers need to make some changes in how they deal with giant players. Clearly.

I've seen the tape, Kemo was JOGGING when he got injured. I guess we can't have any of that? DTs over to the bench during practice, we've got some nice lawnchairs for you to kickback on and a cooler of beers and a radio for you to pass the time.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Someone get the cart out to carry all the DTs to lunch. We don't want them walking to the cafeteria, they might get injured. I mean they're fat c'mon they could rupture something at any second.

[pantherj]

Jogging is fine in my book. The thing is that what you call jogging, may be sprinting to Kemo.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

OK so we start asking the players to define things now? Well coach that looks like jogging to me but Kemo says he's sprinting so we can't have any of that, tell him to slow down. A nice gingerly walking pace would be best.

[Fright]

Having played DT/DE in high school and then in college (I weighed 285 and it was only a JC) I know the conditioning for the hogs was/is a lot different than other players. We usually stuck to a lot of short sprints (from 10-20 yards), while the secondary positions ran longer sprints (more in the 40 yard range). It's more about explosion and short distance dashing than long sprinting like the secondary needs to condition for.

I don't know the exact scenario of how Kemo was hurt, but if he was doing long distance sprinting on his first day of practice, I put that on Meeks. I personally think it's due to carrying 350lbs all the time. Something is most likely going to give out eventually and it did. To say he shouldn't sprint at all is dumb, but he shouldn't be running the same conditioning sprints as DB's.

If he was jogging, then yea, he probably didn't run any off season or it was just a fluke incident.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

He was doing a drill with other DLineman only. (and he was going slower and was well behind all of them)
