Wallace Wright - our new WR


Rhys

Recommended Posts

he's as much a WR as karl hankton was.

this guy is a special teams ace that we need. he is a very good gunner and was one of the best last year. 12 ST tackles in 5 games.

our return coverage just got a lot better.

this was a very nice pickup.

Was Harris' age comment a reference to JR's 2010 "30 or older and you get the cold shoulder" campaign. Heehee. I love Chris Harris!

I love the guy too. He's got balls making comments like that.

And another from the Panthers Twitter-

Panthers sign former Jets / UNC WR Wallace Wright. A native of Fayetteville, N.C., he had 70 ST tackles last 4 years.

karl hankton is the all time ST tackle leader on the panthers and he had 62 in 6 years.

A WR not afraid to make some hits/tackles? I like it, but can he catch?
when needed but thats not why we got him or need him.

we needed some improvement on STs coverage and i suppose aren't bringing back wesley so we were going to be hurting there. wright is an upgrade over wesley.

Chris Harris has to be drunk or something :lol:

Nice ST pick-up. I still hope we re-sign Wesley.

same here. i'd love to have these two as the gunners. we may bring wesley back at some point later in the offseason. i doubt it, but it could happen.

I've been saying for a while that we need another Hankton. You don't need a kick off specialist if you've got a demon like him stalking the return man.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
