Hes no Romo, He said burns got a solid/great hit and was out of it for a moment or two. Came too and thought Burns had the ball. I believe him. He doesnt have the rep of a dirty player either.....tho he did play at bama.......

I think the radio has his statement up, WEEI maybe??

I disagree. It looks like he was perfectly aware from the replay. He slid over and tripped Burns and yanked and twisted his ankle...the whole time he was looking more towards where the ball had gone instead of looking at Burns. The video speaks for itself.

Bama.  So yeah.  I'm reacting emotionally so forgive me.  F that dude.  I never wanted him as my QB.  Fact is we all kinda knew Sam was not the answer either but  was hyped as the best thing since bread was sliced not too many years ago so.... Potential.

Is there a close up of his face during this? The full time play? Id like to see it, I may take my statement back.

“After I got hit pretty hard, I didn’t really know exactly what was going on. I thought he had the ball and it was my job to try and make the tackle. That was pretty much it,” Jones said on Merloni & Fauria on WEEI. “And you know, obviously when you get up and you see the ball is actually down the field a little bit more … it was just a bang-bang play and I didn’t mean to hurt anybody or anything like that. I was just trying to tackle him and make the play. Because you know, I didn’t really know what was going on.”

The  comments that he made just echo what Coach B had said. I really think he knew what he was doing. I'd maybe give him a little more slack if it wasn't for they lack of concern....He's just playing it off. I Think if you really didn't mean to do it you'd show a little more concern or something. Its not definitive, just the way I think I guess.

Qb's that Tackle I respect.  Punks that twist ankles I call it like I see it.  If he was squared up in the open field and tried to tackle Burns ( lol) then much props.  The hit that sent Sam into concuss protocol was football and I respect him for it.  This Big Mac laying on his back trying to play MMA is bitch ass b.s..

I mean you guys can want his head on a plate, Im a pissed off panther fan as well and was cussing up a storm when it happened. Jones had a chance to tell his side and it made some sense, burns did lay him out and Im sure he blacked out some, like he said... Now the part about going for a UFC ankle submission........ I hope he is right about thinking burns had the ball, if not..... he said he didnt know what was happening as well.....tho he should have gone to the medical tent...... 

carry on as you wish

    • I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?
    • LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.  
    • After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
