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.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
