Jets DE Kony Ealy wants 'a little revenge' vs. Panthers

You can't be lazy like he was either. 

Exactly... Hardy was the only one I remember who came out and blatantly called him out on his laziness when he was a rookie in 2014, but there were insinuations of it being made all 3 years he was here.  He didn't lose his starting job last year because there was some vendetta against him.  He was lazy in practice, and it showed during the games.

No one ever questioned his ability.  He has had a decent year with the Jets.  Maybe getting cut by us and the Patriots is what it took- who knows?  But I know this... his laziness has cost him the opportunity to ever get a large deal or even a long-term one.  And all the "revenge" in the world isn't going to change that.

The reason these players perform good after being released or traded is because they get motivated. Steve smith had around 700 receiving yds. We release him, he goes for over 1,000yds next season. Well gee, if you had played like that before, you wouldn't have been released. After his, "look panthers made a mistake by releasing me" season, he never eclipsed 800yds or 5 tds again. Same with d willis. He was continuously injured and barely had 200 rush yds. He gets released. He goes off in Pitt for over 800 yds and 11 tds starts talking trash. Well gee, maybe if you were playing like that before, we wdnt have released ya! Same goes with ealy. Some players needa get cut to find motivation. 

More likely, it was because he went to a team that threw the ball more than we did.  Baltimore had 80 more passing attempts in 2014 than we did in 2013.  And in 2013, Steve Smith missed a game, whereas in 2014, he played in all 16.

Only reason smith had that 1000yd season with baltimore is because he was motivated to prove the panthers wrong. Had he stuck with the panthers, he wdnt have gotten near 1000yds. After he proved hes still a baller during his 1000yd season, he went back into being a 700yd reciever. 

Stop with the pseudo-analysis. Smith had 700 yards in 7 games in 2015. He was on pace for 1500+ yards before tearing his achilles.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
