Shaq shined out

[Khyber53]

For all of the flack he has gotten over the past couple of years (most of it unfair) and the talk going on in the offseason, Shaq Thompson showed how good he really is yesterday versus the Rams. Going into the game, he had Thomas Davis' big shoes to fill in addition to playing interior linebacker in our 3-4 scheme (a major departure from his previous role). He did great.

The stat sheet shows 7 tackles, 2 assists and one pass defensed. That wasn't even the half of it. He was always around the ball and his coverage skills were pretty darned good across the board.

I think we're going to be fine back there with Shaq and Luke, if not even better.

Tre Boston greatly impressed me as well.  He saved us from letting a couple of BIG runs happen.  He took good angles and made great form tackles.

TBQH we should have already extended him by now. The price is just going to go up.

Yep Shaq had a great game, better than Luke and Luke wasn’t bad by any means.

Well said. I really didn't expect that out of Tre. I think he's going to be good here, again. He's grown a lot as a player and toughened up, too.

We are fools not to have extended Bradberry in the offseason, and now we will watch Shaq's price tag go up as well.

Dumb team.

You say this but then also say you don’t want Marty handling these contracts.

also, it could be that both players are betting on themselves.

I don't want Marty Hurney anywhere near the Panthers.

Marty Hurney is the GM of the Panthers.

Marty Hurney needs to do his job.

Part of that job is re-signing talent.

He has not done so.
