Beaston comes home

[Captain Morgan]

nice little article about a player who doesn't get enough love from the Huddle.  Dude was a monster

before he got hurt, and his replacement, Luke, made us forget him too easily.

 

Jon showed up at OTAs today to hang around.

 

 

"Beason, who retired two years ago after three injury-filled seasons with the Giants, was a strong voice with a game to match throughout his time with the Panthers. He recorded an astounding 650 tackles based on coaches' film review over his first four seasons (Kuechly had 681 over his first four) and ranked in the top four in the entire league in tackles each of his first three seasons."

 

"This is my first time back since literally the day I found out I was getting traded," said Beason, who attended Carolina's organized team activity Thursday. "I didn't get the opportunity to see anybody or talk to a lot of guys because you get traded, you pack a suitcase and you're gone the next day."

 

 

"I was on the phone with Coach (Eric) Washington recently, congratulating him," Beason said of the Panthers' first-year defensive coordinator who coached defensive line for Beason's final two-plus seasons in Carolina. "And he was like, ‘Man, come back.' I said, ‘You know what? I'm going to do that.' So we figured out a time, and I talked to Coach (Ron) Rivera about it. Here I am.

"I just want to be with the guys, see the guys, maybe talk a little trash, hang out. It's fun."

 

says a lot of  really good thinks about TD and Luke

Surprised that Jeremy didn't mention this.  Of course I'm not all pro _ maybe he did there.

Nice to see him back in Charlotte where he belongs. Dude was an absolute monster, says something about Luke that he stepped in and we didn’t notice a drop-off

Beason was my favorite panther while he was here. He was an animal. 

[GoobyPls]

Crazy that he hasn’t been back since being trade. He was a beast even when we had a terrible front four

Early 2013 td , Luke and Beason was the best lb core we ever had 

Not really... Luke always looked lost outside, even the all might huddle God's noticed that, name wise, that sounds like the best by far though

Going by names on paper sure (though Morgan/Witherspoon/Fields was a helluva group as well), but both Beason and Luke were much worse at OLB than MLB. Beason at OLB in 2010 and Luke there in early 2012 weren't pretty.

Beaston is a lost hero in Panther history.... dude was the real deal.

[OneBadCat]

Beason was 2nd best in the league during his time. Excellent player. Shame he got hurt

[OneBadCat]

Would y’all put Beason over Morgan? Seemed like he had the mental game completely down and was a total field general. Where Morgan was faster and more athletic. Luke has both of their traits.

1. Luke

2. Beason

3. Morgan

4. Mills

5. Draft???

[Jackofalltrades]

I’ll always love Jon Beason, even named a tenacious dog after him. I’d love to see him transition into coaching, he certainly has the acumen and passion for it.
