KK Short?

Is their more to his ankle that we know?

Im real curious about KK, because he is NoWhere even close to himself.  And you cant blame Poe, because their were plenty of games in the past where Star was out with a injury and KK ate the OL's lunch.  Poe hasnt looked all that bad imo, I think it has to do with more of KKs struggles.  

 

A dominant interior pressure sets the tone of the D.

If Cox in philly goes down, so does their D

If Aaron Danold goes down, so does the Rams D.

I can’t remember what the stat was but I saw on twitter last week that our defense allows something like half as many yards per play when KK is in the game versus when he isn’t in the game. So even though he is showing up on the stat sheet he is still making a big impact.

He's dropped off immensely since getting the big contract, to he honest.

He had an outlier year (2015), just like quite a few others on the Panthers squad.

He's good, but not quite as good as a few other DT's at the top right now.  I also think that's because we don't have a ton of talent at the DE position at this point.

The DE's have been underpar

But

They are no different than 2015

If we designate him as our 2nd (Matt Kail) post June 1st cut we’re saving 13 million in cap space while only taking on 4 mill in dead money.

He’s definitely worth considering for our 2nd post June 1st designation given the amount of money he is set to make.

Can we trade Gettleman for a day to make that move?

Short has come up short.

He is WAY too valuable to cut, in any instance if he's healthy...I can see many forgot about our DT woes before the likes of Star and KK.

Agree with @The Huddler 100%, we didn't realize just how important Star was to our running game, and KK's production.

Have to disagree. KK's been elite up until this year imo. He was very good for us last year despite it not showing on the stat sheet.

This year, he seems to have taken his first hit imo.

Oh, I'm not here saying that he should go....Far from it.

I'm a big fan, but he did have a huge year in 15', and it seems to be a bit of an outlier with 11 sacks, and a career high outside of that of 7.5.

However, Cam, Olsen, Oher, Ginn, etc.......all had outlier years that year, and we should probably remember that.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
