This is the play he drug 3 Philadelphia Eagles across the goal line on the way to winning the 2003 season NFC Championship 14-3 and going on to the Super Bowl.

I remember we watched this game at a sports bar in Greensboro and as soon as the game was over, we drove to Charlotte and joined the mob scene around BOA when the buses arrived from the airport at 2AM or something ridiculous. I remember the interior lights going on in the buses when they pulled into the stadium so the fans could see the players.

That was one of the best memories I have as a Panther fan back in the day.

Back when football was fun.

He was good. He could have been special if he had a healthy knee.

You'd be livid if you were a UCLA fan though - that's a cheap hire. 

Negative. UCLA fans love it. Dude is/was a legend at UCLA and has been on the football staff for a while now, most recently as the RB coach. The players have loved him for years there and he is highly respected inside and outside of the football building. I am pumped for him.

I liked Deshaun but he wasn't the best RB on the team that year.  Deshaun had his moments no doubt but look up Steven Davis's highlights if you want to see some down hill running man. That dude was hard to stop when he got a full head a steam. He also had a unique running style that looked like he was taking half strides when ran. I love me some Steven Davis. That dude was a tree trunk.

Stephen Davis is my kind of running back. He deals out punishment rather than let others punish him. 

Between him and Foster, was a hell of a 1-2 punch.  

I know a lot of people did not care for Dan Henning, but he knew how to feed the offensives best players.

Henning was smart enough to use what he had and allow them to play to their strengths. He truly knew how to design an offense around the players he had.

Foster was raised in California, but he was actually born in Charlotte and visited frequently as a child. Still had tons of family and iirc he still has a house there. 

that was one of the reasons he was drafted by the panthers. There were some thoughts he was going to drop because he only played like six games his last year at UCLA.

He was averaging over five yards a carry but he kept showing up to practice in suspiciously brand new Escalades and he was suspended. 

Don’t worry about who the other running back was the panthers were going to draft. Don’t look it up. Don’t think about it.

Alright, I'll bite. Who was it? Clinton Portis? Brian Westbrook?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
