Biggest reason to be pumped for next season....

This is Carolina!

Without a d-line in front of him, he will be wasted.

[scpanther22]

who will be his backup...i think adam is gone

[Kevin Greene]

Here's hoping they release the hounds next year on defense. It's QB huntin' season.

Dan Connor.

[scpanther22]

Dan Connor.

i think connor is setting up to take the place of diggs....so who is are number 2

[Johnny Rockets]

Hard to not like that guy......

[pantherclaw]

Connor is a natural MLB.

I don't see Diggs being done yet.

[Kurb]

On defense yes you are correct.

He should get an extension as soon as possble next season, go ahead and lock him up for awhile.

He can and will be the Ray Lewis of this D. Leader, vocal and by example.

[Scrumtrilescent]

And you can do that with the 2 RBs and Kalil, Otah, Wharton, and Gross (pending). And I just hope Vincent is back soon. Young foundation across the board.

I agree and he might take it a step further. I know for the Eagles, Dawkins is not only the leader of the defense but he is the leader of the team....offensive line, defensive line, WR's, and even some of the coaches.. it doesn't matter...they all listen to him and look to him for leadership....pretty sure Ray Lewis is that guy for the Ravens also. From what I can tell, Beason has the potential to be the team leader.

...says who i dont think we took him that high to ride the bench

[photoguync]

I'm gonna start a petition to add a 'T' to Beason's game jerseys...LOL

Connor isn't supposed to be fast enough to play outside.
