DT Andre Neblett Ready to Buoy the Win Column

Recommended Posts

A starter at nose tackle in all 13 games, Neblett had 43 tackles and 9.5 TFL

“In college we ran the same defense that we are using right now in Carolina,” he said. “You need to pick up some of those things from college and use them in the nose tackle position here. It was definitely a plus for me going to work for the Carolina Panthers.”

I would love to see this kid make it, but I'm not counting on it. You never know though...he wouldn't be the first no name DT to make it here. Guys like Jordan Carstens and Tony Brown come to mind. Brown would still be here if the Panthers wouldn't have been loaded at DT back then.

I live in the middle of the MAC conference and went to Ball State who has had to face Temple a couple times. But throughout the year Temple had a really good d-line and always got a good pass rush against us just using their front four. Glad hes training camp fodder for the Panthers. Maybe he will end up on our PS but then again even if he plays well he may not i.e.Teddy Lehman last year.

"I know there isn't room for mistakes. I can just tell by the way john fox coaches,"

That sure does fly in the face of fans who don't think fox holds his players accountable.

Uh, he's a rookie. The knock on Fox is that he's been too loyal with veterans.

Obviously he's not going to go up to an undrafted rookie and be like, "HERE, HAVE THIS ROSTER SPOT."

If he doesn't make the active roster he at least will make the practice squad and give us a year to develop him and get him ready to play. We are very good at picking up players with potential at the bottom of the draft and with UDFAs.

true that, double true.

i'm always pleasantly surprised with the role players we pick up after the draft is over.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
