Diggs' departure zaps Panthers' depth

[Rod Butsecks]

(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) On the surface, you wouldn't think losing a solid but unspectacular guy like Na'il Diggs would have that big of an impact on a team.p/But for the Carolina Panthers, their linebacking corps represents the transition the team as a whole is going through the team-wide youth movement.

Remember in 2008 when we had TOO MANY linebackers? Now we've lost two and it's fug OUR LINEBACKERS SUX.

So are you trying to say we will pick up Tyler Mays and convert him to LB like we did, similar to how we made Thomas Davis such a star? HHmmmm......

[SorthNarolina]

we don't have any true sam linebackers on the team at all.

I think I'd like Anderson a little better for his athleticism. I can see him getting turnovers and sacks.

Connor is a great LB, but is he a great Cover 2 OLB? I dunno. We'll see.

We should trade all of our picks for Ray Lewis... That would solve all of our problems...

Cause you know he's like a football God. Ray Lewis = Panthers Super Bowl.

Who's with me? =]

Nope. I tend to agree. We have to relly on TD come back 100%, we have to rely on either Connor or Anderson step up, and then we better pray that no one gets injuried. Thats a lot of hoping and relying. But thats just as it stands. I really doubt they don't draft a SLB candidate and they will bring in a few cheap vets like always.

Any depth issues we certainly did to ourselves. You gotta beleive Hurney has a plan for replacing him and getting more depth since he didn't have to pull the trigger on Diggs. Obviously he thought we could do better.

I wish someone would go over to Gantt's house and break his typewriter

connor>diggs

watch. you'll see it's true.

we do need to pick up another LB or two somewhere. i don't see us going into the season with less than 5.
