Kris Jenkins Is Why I'm Scared Of Drafting a Defensive Tackle

I remember the Wesley Walls curse at tight end, but that really stopped last year with Olsen and Shockey. It turns out that if you ignore a position and only throw a day two or three pick at it every once in a while, said position will suck. It's probably the same with DT.

As for MLB, we've already gotten like 3 all-pro seasons out of beason before he got injured, so that is a really delayed curse. I love Morgan, but he tackled with his noggin and the injuries shouldn't be a shock.

Jenkins just refused to keep his fat ass in shape. He always ballooned up in the offseason and I always said it would catch up with him. In his younger years, he was able to work his way back into playing shape through camp and the preseason, but the older you get, the harder it is to pull it off.

If Jenkins would've committed to keeping himself under 350, probably in the 330 range, he'd probably still be playing. I'd be willing to bet that he played a lot of snaps over 400.

Kris Jenkins helped propel our defensive line to elite status which helped us get to our first Super Bowl which we lost because of John Kasay's choke and God Brady. What's the bad part about drafting another Jenkins? Having a great line?

True....

But it would have been terrific if he lasted just a little longer. And idk if there's a Kris this draft... just like nobody knew Kris would be Kris coming out

      I would say the fact that Dave Canales insisted on a 6 year contract should tell anyone all they need to know about his potential job security under the Tepper's. No matter how much we have heard recently about how David Tepper has learned from this and that. This is still the same man who spent $43.5 million to buy and then immediately demolish a house because of who owned it previously.

      Same lineup to hopefully finish this one out tonight.  Here's today's projected lineup from the Hurricane's official website:   Tonight's Projected Lineup... Forwards Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Hall - Stankoven - Blake Ehlers - Staal - Martinook Carrier - Jankowski - Robinson Defense Slavin - Chatfield Miller - Walker Gostisbehere - Nikishin Starting Goaltender Andersen --- Injuries N/A Scratches Nicolas Deslauriers Pyotr Kochetkov Jesperi Kotkaniemi Mike Reilly --- PP1: Aho, Ehlers (Staal), Jarvis, and Svechnikov with Gostisbehere PP2: Blake, Hall, Jankowski, and Stankoven with Miller I'm getting to the point to where I have to get away from social media.  The narrative is still in some circles that Carolina has played no one.  I just don't see how you can continue to discount what our opponents in the playoffs have done, either to make it to the playoffs or the clubs they beat to faceoff against us.  I know this is how Carolina always get's treated, but if we win tonight our record is 12-1 in the playoffs. 12-1!  Meanwhile, along the way the "talking heads" had us losing in every round.  Maybe, just maybe, Carolina's just that damn good. /rant Here's to kickin azz and taking names tonight. LET'S GO CANES!!
