I wish we still had this defense

That video brings back some real 'warm, fuzzy' to me! One thing that seems to be apparent is that the 'Cats never replaced the 'tude' Minter brought to the team. He was a hard hitting son-of-a-gun, and I miss him. I think the team does too!

Beason and Harris are bringing it back

i miss it to..but i think as our defense stands right now were a DB and a DT away from bein just as good

I don't know if I would say that. Comparing the '03 starters to the '09 projected starters:

DE: Peppers > Johnson

DT: Jenkins > Kemoeatu

DT: Buckner > Lewis

DE: Rucker > Brayton

OLB: Witherspoon > Davis

MLB: Morgan = Beason

OLB: Greg Favors < Diggs

CB: Terry Cousin < Gamble

CB: Reggie Howard = Marshall

SS: Minter = Harris

FS: Deon Grant > Godfrey

Every starter on the defensive line was better than every starter we'll have next year. Linebackers and secondary are pushes.

Not to mention we had good depth on the bench.

Al Wallace

Ricky Manning Jr.

Mike Minter, Mike Rucker, Brentson Buckner and The Principal in their prime...

A pre-disgruntled Julius Peppers and Kris Jenkins...

A pre-rule enforcement change Ricky Manning Jr...

Will Witherspoon, and a mostly healthy Dan Morgan...

And Sam Mills coaching the linebackers...

I could cry :(

I like many of the elements we have in place now, mind you, but that defense could knock the snot out of people.

    • One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.
    • I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.   
    • So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
