Nick Hayden Signed?

There are two images of Panthers getting crushed by individual players that I'll never forget. One was Walter Jones making Mike Rucker look like he weighed 90 lbs. in the NFC Championship Game where he blocked him straight back for a constant 25 yards and then threw him down. The other was a Giants running back beating us in OT in 2008 by trucking Hayden and sending him out of the back of the end zone. So that's a solid 10 yards he flew back.

That may be the play I'm remembering. He literally landed on his back and I remember a RB plowing through...

He's not playing in the NFL material. He's more like bagging groceries at Piggly Wiggly material.

Say what you want, but he was actually the second best defensive tackle on the Panthers roster last year behind Derek Landri. Now I know that is not saying much with the way we performed last year but his stats are definitley back-up material if one of the starters was to go down.

Last year he had 31 tackles, 20 solo tackles, 11 assists, 1 sack, 1 stuff, 2 stuff yards, and 1 pass defended. He deserves to be on a roster, just not a starter on a roster.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
