Surprised we haven't aquired this guy.

Lito Sheppard.

30 years old, had a rough season 2010, but could be had for cheap and would be motivated to prove doubters wrong.

If you connect the dots, it seems to make perfect sense at the moment, played under McDermott in Philly and could help our young guys really learn the system. Also, he is a Drew Rosenhaus client, so I am surprised he isn't knocking on the door, knowing the Panthers need.

My only reasoning for not having brought him in yet would be that if we signed him now his contract would be guaranteed, but if we wait til after week one we can cut him at any time and wouldn't have to pay.

I am not saying I would love to have them, but when I was looking at FA corners this is the one that made sense.

Li-toast!

Lito might be a good pick up, but given how his season turned out last year, I don't blame the FO for waiting to make a move until he's more of a risk free candidate. ON another note, who out there can fill me in on our young DT Terrell McClain? I've been seeing good things on him reported from camp, but I'm unfamiliar with the line on him. Was he a beast in college? Come on guys, educate me!

[Catalyst]

Don't know much about him in college other than he was drafted right around where he was projected to go. Most reports I've read from camp say he's looked very good.

[jherald]

Likewise. I've heard nothing but good things about him except for last season.

[JawnyBlaze]

I've heard he was a good draft sleeper. In that he'd probably go around the 3rd round, but could very well turn out to be greater than 3rd round talent. We picked him where he was expected to go. He's a gap shooter, not a pile mover. If he lives up to his potential, he'll be a sack artist (for a DT). If not, he'll be Damione Lewis.

[JawnyBlaze]

And I wouldn't be opposed to Lito Sheppard for mostly the same reason I'm ok with Derek Anderson.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

I have Lito Sheppard on my current Madden '11 Franchise Mode Panthers squad.

that might be a real possibility at some point, i think we wait a couple of weeks into preseason & either make a trade for a CB or watch the waiver wire.

he was above average at s. florida, he is known for having a good motor, quick feet & knows how to disengage from o lineman, the knock on him is that he plays with his pads to high at times

[CRA]

doesn't Lito have local ties?

[armistice]

I believe if Lito starts opposite of Gamble then he'll produce well, and the two will be able to show some of our younger guys things which will hopefully help them in the future. If you see Lito's stats then you'll notice that when he is starting he is producing interceptions, tackles, etc.

[Dpantherman]

Wouldn't mind it, but every time we do this...

[Soul Rebel]

Just say no. His 2009 season with the Jets was terrible and he basically gets burned waaaaay too much. He would be a warm body out there considering what we've got at CB, but if you want to have a scapegoat for '11, Lito will be the new Richard Marshall....only older.
