that's not really a good thing. high number of tackles usually means the defense can't get off the field because they suck or can't stay off the field because the offense sucks.

here's hoping he isn't among the top in the league this year.

Yeah i was looking at that a while ago and i think it was like only two of the top 20 players in total tackles were on playoff teams. I don't know how that carries over for previous years but it makes sense to me.

Actually Meek's defense funnels the runner to the will and really enables him to make plays. It was part of the reason that Davis was having a great season. The defense could be good and Beason would still get the lion's share of tackles. Usually a middle linebacker getting a ton of tackles in our defense suggest a problem with the run defense. It means players are coming clean through the middle. So if Beason playing the Will is at the top in tackles, it means that Louis and Tyler are doing a decent job plugging things up. It Connor has a 100 tackles this year then I will be more concerned.

Good point. Willis has had better statistics the Beason since the two joined the league but IMO Willis is on the field much longer than the BEAST is. So his numbers are going to be higher.

Go Panthers

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
