Impressed with the LB's

LB has a ton of depth. A lot of them look really good. I like this crop.

I really liked Demario Davis, Ronell Lewis (ran with the DL, but would be an amzing weakside LB and could play a joker type role for us, Luke K was obviously good, Dont'a Hightower looked amazing for 265, and I really liked that kid from Cal who ran the 4.41, he was pac-12 player of the year. Those guys all impressed, sorry, there were plenty more.

I thought NCSU's Terrell Manning had a solid Combine. I think he solidified himself as a solid mid-round prospect. I'd be looking at him come the 4th/5th if he's still on the board.

He looked really small in his lower body, I do not think that translates well at the next level but he ran well, looked athletic, at worst, special teamer.

Throwing a hypothetical at you that will cause some meltdowns:

First, consider this:

1. RR is a former LB, and DC who likes LBs a lot.

2. We might take BPA at a position of need.

3. Nobody questions Beason's ability to return from an achilles injury and return to his pro bowl level. That is expecting a lot.

4. We are losing Dan Connor.

5. Luke Keuchley, MLB, Boston College showed that he runs in the 4.5s and has the speed and agility to cover on 3rd downs.

6. LK averaged 15 tackles per game in college.

7. LK could have improved his stock at the combine by becoming a top 12 prospect. He is a leader and a field general--much like Beason.

Now ask these questions:

1. Will TD be able to play at a high level? Will Beason? Are you sure?

2. Can Keuchley play either strong or weakside LB? Can Beason?

So, if the panthers are fearful of the injury concerns at LB and the head coach lives and breathes LBs and defense, why is nobody suggesting the best LB in the draft?

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
