He had a great game and I hope he continues to ball out all season. Our D-Line needs some credit too and they kept him free to make plays which is what they are supposed to do.

New Orleans has a good O-line so next week will be a telling tale of how his season will go.

Our run defense was on point most of the game.  We'll have to do that against New Orleans next week and get Winston to throw and make mistakes. Our DBs need to be ready for a lot more work next week.

It also is provably somewhat to do with not having Luke’s shadow over him. He’s able to fully take charge and be himself now. Not discrediting Luke or anything. Just saying he had really big shoes to fill last year. Now that it’s a little more removed he probably feels a little freer. 

Listen, I don't wanna get ahead of myself after one game, but...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

he looked like Luke Kuechly out there yesterday. That was DPOY caliber play. Straight up.

He looked like a starting MLB lol.

We've had such legit LB play over the years when we have a non all pro it looks odd.

He's always looked like a standard starting LB. That wasn't "standard starter" play yesterday.

Did the other guy even play I can't even recall him doing poo. Shaq musta just been like "imma play OLB and MLB both at the same time" yesterday.

Carter was third on the team in tackles with 5. But yeah, oddly I barely noticed him too. That's fine. He's a JAG. When you don't notice the JAG the JAG is doing his JAG job.

I defended him all last year. He spent so much time covering for frikkin' Tahir Whitehead and trying to get other guys into position that he didn't have much of an opportunity to even play his position.

Now, he's back on the trajectory that he had been on before. He played like a Panthers linebacker is supposed to play. He lived up to it and if he keeps the pressure on, he'll be rightfully among those greats.

Excellent play, excellent effort.

The number thing is so strange to me, but speaks to how important mindset is at that elite athlete level. Seemingly insignificant things can be the thing that pushes a player from good to great. Waiting to change to 7 out of respect for Grier makes more sense than pure gamesmanship on a rookie QB/HC. It was cool of him to wait.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
