I was streaming the game and my stream went into buffing right after I saw the replay and said it would be overturned.   You are correct that he hit his arm but the ball didn't come free from his hand.   Credit Dalton for holding on and giving a forward motion.

Obada deserves the recognition though JJ Watts had 3 sacks in a loss and Jackson has two picks.

He might not get sacks every game but he is going to get pressures.   His sack was because the TE didn't get across the line quick enough but Obada burst was like a DB flying in there.  Dalton had no chance. 

 

The award was for NFC Defensive Player of the Week (Watt is in the AFC), but Jackson certainly would have been just as deserving. I think what made Obada’s performance more impressive though was how he impacted the game that much with such limited snaps...I kept getting frustrated with Rivera when he kept leaving Obada on the sidelines. Like IMMEDIATELY after the strip-sack got overturned, he took Obada out of the game :eyeroll:

If Obada ends up being somewhat of a 1-hit wonder, it still will be an incredible story.

That being said, I truly think he has the drive (and not to discount it, size & athleticism) to actually be an impact player for this team.

I see him being in the same mold as Addison a few years ago.  Maybe not the size to be an every down DE, but a terror on 3rd downs and as a pure pass rusher.

However, given what he has gone through, I'm not going to doubt he can do or be anything he wants.

I am so excited and happy for him, just want to be realistic.  He is a joy to watch

He actually has the size to be a every down DE. It’s experience he needs more of, mainly in run defense setting the edge. With Pep & Washington to learn from. Not worried about him being able to pick it up.

no but Id like to see him rotated in and all three of those guys + Horton get a similar amount of reps. Maybe less Horton and more OBADA!

That's rational but my boy up there thinks Rivera not starting him over the vets is a bad idea apparently. :)

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By frankw · Posted

      Overall it was a fun pleasant surprise of a game. That final drive by the Panthers was atrocious though. It would have been nice to at least go down landing a few blows not just punching air. We shrunk in the moment. I don't want to say it took away from the rest of the game but it was certainly unfortunate.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      you guys are 100% butt buddies, and you know it. you know who im talking about without even having to list names. its the same 5 users that spend their free time on here dumping on the panthers every move and especially anything regarding Bryce. you pie each others posts, quote each other, all day. this forum is slowly dying and posters like you guys are contributing to it. this is a fan forum. if you hate the team and product so much, why waste any time on here? I'm not sure what "L" you are referring to, there is no winners or losers here. we both have an opinion. I choose to remain positive over things I can't control. I choose to spend my free time on other things other than bitching and complaining about a football team I root for. You do not.
