Brian Baker analyzes the D-Line

[Mr. Scot]

From Steve Reed: Baker says re-signing DE Johnson a must, but Panthers need to upgrade at DT

Still hoping he doesn't go to the Cowboys.

[TylerDurden]

Good article, and he's not going to the Cowboys... He's with UNC atm...

DL coach Baker contemplating return to NFL with Cowboys

Word from Gantt is that he'll be making a decision by this Tuesday.

Pretty good breakdown. He doesn't pull any punches. Didn't like how he described Brayton's reaction.

Intrested in what he had to say about the lesser known players. Sounds like plenty of them have a chance to pretty decent, hopefully they don't hold themselves back.

Bake is prob a future head coach....maybe not at this level...but at some level, and he is going to be a good one. CJ should of have 15 sacks as much as his ass was on the field.

Aside from that, he told us what we already know.

CJ only played around 85% of the possible snaps...

Compare that to Pep who used to play virtually every one...

Plus after the first quarter teams had such a big lead they didn't have to pass the ball.

Sorry just wanted to address this post again.

Told us what we already knew?

Did you know that Brown lost some of his explosiveness mid way through the season? Did you know that Neblett needs to control his weight? Did you know that Brayton got pissy because he was put into competition for his job? Did you know that Hardy needs to work harder off the field? Did you know that they still consider Taylor a viable option?

What the fug is wrong with E.Brown...?

[SPANKY]

That just tell's me we need to get CJ a long term deal, and about Brayton...I don't know, he was hurt some. Hardy seem's to have a big upside and did better than brayton when in the lineup. Let Brayton go, keep CJ for sure.

i am now comfortable with us taking Fairley

[grateflday]

My biggest beef with the CBA issue and how the Panthers proceeded was the not signing and locking up any of their core youth. Past season's guys like CJ Johnson would have gotten a contract extension during the season. Now the Panthers risk losing him and some others.

I liked how he described Brayton's reaction. I sort of figured Brayton was like that. I feel we're no longer in need of Tyler's services. I was happy when I read about CJ's reaction. He's very humble, and has a very good work ethic; I like that. I really hope we're able to lock him up longterm. He's going to be a star

[SPANKY]

Aggie you are right about Charles johnson, the way he handled that with Brayton should show us how this young man carrie's himself on and off the field. I did'nt know about that until recently, but we don't need player's that react like Brayton. We need player's like Charles J. Calm, Cool, Confident! Get Charles Johnson a long term deal Marty!

[OneBadassCat]

I think Brown will be fine he just needs to add a bit more muscle. He's had some unfair pressure on him I think. It's not his fault that Hurney traded a 1st for him. He was likely a 3rd round pick but I think Hurney sees what his future value could be to us and I think it will work out.

I thought CJ handled the Brayton situation quite well. Hardy will the x factor I think. If he can make a sophomore leap we will be in great shape.
