Travelle Wharton to replace Ray Brown

[Mr. Scot]

The big argument over last year to me was whether the constant blitzing put too much pressure on our DBs or if they were just poorly coached after Wilks was elevated and his assistants took over.

I'm leaning toward the latter.

Probably a little of both but I think the latter may have been more of a factor.

One of the most underrated Panthers of all time. One of the most universal linemen we've had. Great person.

For people saying pay your dues and poo, Travelle Wharton has held a free football week long camp in a very small town in South Carolina every single year since he was in the league, donated money for equipment, always supported his small town & high school. He's not a superstar name for many reasons, he's a very polite guy off the field. Has years of teaching/coaching since he retired, someone who isn't just going to stand around and only tell guys what to do, but show them. 

He was one of our best "impact blockers" who most of the time if he laid his hands on you rather it be running, passing, you usually were stuck. He's a very large human being and played on some I'm sure very frustrating Panther teams and always kept cool. Always supported the Panthers when he retired. Not a guy you'll see in a fancy suit with a publicity agent trying to get behind a camera and desk talking football on cable TV, but a guy who rather be out all summer in the heat practicing and drilling. 

Proud of Travelle and the opportunity he has. I think he will have a positive impact on these guys.
