First Game Back in a Couple Years

[Anybodyhome]

First game in BOA since 2017. Taking the wife and one of her employees who has a developmentally disabled son and loves football. Not sure how well he'll handle the sensory overload or being somewhat restricted in a seat for 3+ hours, but we'll soon find out.

Anyway, since it's the Hall of Honor game, I thought I'd pull out my old #48 Stephen Davis jersey (opted for that over the #57 Lamar Lathon jersey) and listen to how many people don't have any idea who he was. Think the wife is following suit and will pull out her old Jake jersey.

that's awesome, have fun

Ahh Steven Davis. I'll never forget that magical 1999 year he had of almost 1500 yards and 17 TD's back in the old NFC west. If I recall that year correctly the Panthers finished the season with an astonishing record of .500 - good times.

Davis and Lathon.  Good times. Thanks for the reminder anybodyhome.

Davis was a Redskin in 1999 and the Skins were never in the NFC West.

He joined Carolina in 2003 and had over 1400 yds and 8 TDs in his first season when the Panthers went to the Super Bowl.

He was? Oh well. My memory hasn't been kind to me lately. Good eye.

Oh, I thought he was saying when he got those stats while we were still in the NFC West. Didn't really know Davis's numbers prior to joining us, so I assumed they were right around that, with how well he performed for us.

 

Betcha a bunch of these kids didn't know which division we were initially in prior to the realignment in 2002.

Lamar is my favorite Panther pass rusher.

He would just kill QBs. 

When he broke Michael Irving's collar bone in the 96 playoff game I almost jumped onthe field. He used to come talk to us before games.

13.5 sacks as a ROLB in a 4-3 defense in 1996.

I think under Capers we ran a 3-4 not a 4-3. A lot of times Greene or Lathon would rush the passer making it look 4-3

Had a “deep” conversation with a ‘Skins fan before the ‘03 season on how pissed he was that his team traded Davis... don’t remember seeing for any game that season at teh Varsity Club, the bar where I watched all but 2 of the games that year....

 

saw. Opening day, Jakes intro, at home working on my old  Chevy S10 and missed the 1st TBay game because I was rewiring my brothers kitchen, game was supposed to be on locals but wasn’t.... funny, the details 1 can remember.....
