As long as it wasnt Coples im fine with it.

Beason is coming off Achillies surgery...its a pretty devastating injury. Most athletes are within a few years left till the end of their careers after an injury like that. Beason says he is around 80% and it is usually a two year recovery. Beast is my favorite player but if he may reinjure himself or just not be as effective.

Thomas Davis, no more to be said. Best case is TD last the season and plays up to 10-12 games.

If both those guy went down we are seeing 2010 all over again. Luke is being brought in to contribute as a MLB-WLB, and possible captian of the defense. Free Agents lbers are not going to do it.

Get a star and he would not be number 9 if the Panther's think he is a faster Dan Conner.

Im seeing a lot of reasons why people dont like this pick. Answer me this: If our need wasnt at DL and CB, would you have liked this pick?

He was the BPA at a position of need(it will be a need until Beason and Davis prove otherwise) and gives us a lot of versatility at the LB spot. Also with the TEs in our league, Kuechly was a perfect fit.

Just sit back and enjoy it. Im sure Hurney and Rivera know what they are doing.

He's not gonna make many highlight shows, but the guy is a tackling machine. 516 put downs in 3 years and the all time record (4 seasons) is only 29 more. Add in pass D and versatility and I can see why they couldn't pass on him.

Hurney is an idiot and I have no doubt he has no clue what he's doing. But Rivera knows LBs and he will make this work.

But I'm amazed at how upset some are with this pick, with all the problems we've had at LB. It was a major position of need and he was one of the best players available. Usually when players combine elite college production with elite athletic attributes, they pan out pretty well. Win/win situation for us.

Wasn't crazy about the pick at first, bit this almost ensures that there is no pressure to rush Beason or TD back, while adding an unbelievablely important piece to the future of our d. LK is a tackling beast and is light years better than Conner. He will play all 3 LB positions and he is heady enough and has the instincts to be a real leader on this d. Again, I wasn't crazy about the pick, but after I've had time to process I realize we just locked up probably the most important positions in this scheme for a long time. God willing, the kid should have a great career and will most def play on CAMs level!

I think that is about where I am on LK. Skeptic at first, but am warming to the idea.

Most rational post I have seen all morning. You would think the sky was falling around here with all the negativity. Good choice in BPA approach on a kid that has a lot of potential. I like the pick.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
