Notebook: Panthers' Johnson adds 2 sacks to career-best total

[Laetitia]

(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) The weather and the Carolina Panthers have grown cold. But span class=boldCharles Johnson/span is as hot as any player in the league at the moment.p/Johnson dropped Pittsburgh quarterback span class=boldBen Roethlisberger/span in the second and fourth quarters, continuing a month-and-a-half hot streak.

More...

That puts him 5th in the league with the rest of the league still to play.

He's got a shot at finishing 2nd in the league total though, which would be incredible.

(Leader is Cameron Wake with 14, which I suppose isn't too far out of CJ's sights..but it'd be a heck of a performance by him next week and with Wake, along with everyone else struggling)

Of course it's in a contract year. One more player to resign, gahh

[PandaMan]

CJ is beasting it up, Hardy looked good tonight as well

[Baschski]

I just hope CJ doesn't let up after he gets paid.

This is my biggest fear. If we pay him I feel like he's just going to be a flop until his next contract year.

CJ's always been a pretty good player for us, So I doubt it.

That's why you don't over pay these guys. It's also why having a great scouting dept. to find new talent is a must.

[Nicbsbll2]

I just hope he wants to resign with us. There's no telling what his opinion of this organization is at the moment.

[Cavscout]

I hope we re-sign him

He gets better every time I see him play

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

This is the first time hes been a full time DE. Hes always pushed his side and created pressure when he was in...KNOW YOUR TEAM!

This is Marshall, Deangelo, Kalils contract years too...not so good AL.

[Panthers128]

Marshall's not even a decent player and we're stacked at RB.

Isn't Thomas Davis and Matt Moore also in contract years? I bet we lose a lot of players, doubt any coach wants a bunch of Fox guys.

Marshall is above average and we need three solid corners AT LEAST. A huge reason we were going destroyed through the air last night is because Robert McClain was our 3rd corner and was getting straight abused. Munnerlyn and Marshall held it down for the most part, but the Steelers completely exploited McClain. If Gamble had been out there, we could have had Munnerlyn and Marshall as the #2 and #3 and that wouldn't have happened. If Marshall leaves, we have Gamble and Munnerlyn starting and...McClain as our 3rd to continue getting abused. We add CB to our long list of needs if we let Marshall go. Not smart.
