2010 D-Line

[NJPanthers12]

First off I want to wish all of Carolina Huddle a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I was just recently thinking of next years team and how excited I am for the 2010 season, ecspecially if we finish this season strong. I for one have been a big advocate of bringing back both John Fox and Julius Peppers next year, and really want to see this core win a super bowl. Going into next season, are you guys comfortable with the current players on our roster at d-line?

I know going into the season DT was a big issue, but some players seeemed to step up. I love our DE rotation and hope that stays the same. So looking into next year are you comfortable with this?

Julius Peppers: Bring him back, he showed Sunday how good he is

Tyler Bratyon: Very solid and wants to be back, good against the run

Charles Johnson and Everett Brown: Both young and full with potential

these four players can definitly create a pass rush.

Now for the DT position

Damione Lewis

Maake Kemoeatu

Tank Tyler

Louis Leonard

Hollis Thomas

Corey Irvin

Are you comfortable choosing from those players or should we bring more people in, or are there bigger concerns?

[Carl Spackler]

I wish Thomas were 8 years younger.

Well this year draft is deep in DT.So we should take one.

Some good players prob will get cut.

Leonard and Tank Tyler are must keeps imo. Evaluate Kemo's progress and see if he can make a return. BTW I really like Hollis Thomas but I really don't know if his body can handle it. I'd be willing to part ways with Lewis I think he's just too average for what we pay him and a better starter should be in his place. Perhaps Tyler can take his spot next year.

It looks good, but I do see them bringing in some competition, and I also do not think Corvey Irvin will make the team.

DE

1. Julius Peppers

2. Tyler Brayton

3. Charles Johnson

4. Everette Brown

DT

1. Maake Kemoeatu

2. Damione Lewis

3. Hollis Thomas

4. Louis Leonard

5. Tank Tyler

I expect to see the release of...

DE- Hilee Taylor

DT- Derek Landri

DT- Nick Hayden

DT- Corvey Irvin

I would like the Panthers to take a look at...

DT- Kyle Williams- Buffalo Bills

DT- Tony Brown- Tennessee Titans

DE- Stephen Bowen- Dallas Cowboys

If Peppers leaves I would like the Panthers to look at...

DE- Derrick Burgess- New England Patriots

DE- Brett Keisel- Pittsburgh Steelers

DE- Richard Seymour- Oakland Raiders

DE- Kyle Vanden Bosch- Tennessee Titans

[OneBadassCat]

Aaron Kampan and Gholston could be good options as well if Peppers leaves. Charles Johnson should be absolutely ready to explode on opposing tackles next year so I'd have confidence in him starting as well.

Forgot about Kampman, he would be a must have.

[NJPanthers12]

i like hollis thomas a lot but i just do not see them keeping both thomas and kemo, basically the same player. i beleive they will keep one of thomas and kemo, as well as irvin. so i do agree with you but i think it will look more like:

kemo/thomas

lewis

leonard

tyler

irvin

[Ricky Spanish]

i don't want peppers back

[pantherclaw]

We actually have quite a few good DT's on the roster now. I'd still like them to draft the potential replacement for Thomas. I really don't expect Kemo to return, but I do pray that he does.

I like our ends. Peppers is a beast, and Brown is a playmaker. Brayton has been a steal for us.

Would be nice to see how the young guy they drafted to replace Lewis plays.

[pantherclaw]

Aaron Kampan and Gholston could be good options as well if Peppers leaves.

Kampan (sp?) would be a viable option, Gholston though? He ain't worth the time.

[raleigh-panther]

Tony Brown used to be a Panther.

Mr. Fox cut him.

[scpanther22]

Kampan (sp?) would be a viable option, Gholston though? He ain't worth the time.

I would like to see what Gholston could do in 43..

[Squirrel]

No way would I want Peppers back.

DE

1. Tyler Brayton

2. Charles Johnson

3. Everette Brown

4. Draft a rookie or pick up a decent veteran.

To me Peppers is not worth what he will be asking for.
