Though I know Chucky is an offensive minded coach, but during James Laurinaitis' 40 run, he was talking up Dan Connor...saying he and James Laurinaitis remind him of each other and that "Dan Connor is going to be a real good player for John Fox up in Carolina" The rest of the crew seemed to agree...

But w/ Beason, where the hell is this kid going to play?

Could we possibly have:

Davis-Beason-Connor?

Or does it scream 3-4? :P Just kidding.

Kind of surprised he didn't say "North Carolina" :lol:

Considering the 40 Laurinaitis just ran, comparing him to Connor is an insult to Connor.

LOL, combine is overrated - Laurinaitis is gonna be a beast - but Connor did run a 4.67 at his pro day.

Speaking of "Connors" I still think it's funny that Connor Barwin at DE outran most of the top LB prospects!

Connor may not be an impact player this year or even next, but I think he's going to be a big asset to the Panthers. Whether he plays ST only, moves to OLB, or is just Beason's backup, he'll do well. Like I've said in another thread, we did really good with injuries this year, but you never know what will happen and having good backups is key to being good in the NFL.

The one big weakness for Conner is his coverage skills. I think that would limit him in starting at SLB. Of course Beason is not going to lose his spot. For Conner, playing WLB makes the most since but with how great Davis played this year at WLB I doubt you see him move back to SLB. IMO Conner, Beason and Davis are our best three talents at LBer and I think that by 2010 you will see all three starting. As for this year I think Diggs will remain the starter and should as he has proven to be worthy of it. It's just in the long run I think you have to get the your young talent on the field and for that to happen the elder Diggs will have to take a back seat.

I don't mean to be a grammar hammer, but since he is on the team, it's "connor"

The WILL needs to have stronger coverage skills than the SAM. The SAM may be called upon to cover the TE, but in most cases the WILL is the faster of the two and will drop off into coverage. The SAM needs to be bigger to shed blocks on the strong side and get to the RB/QB...

      At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.

      Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
