The Will will rarely blitz, and will cover many intermediate and short routes. The Mike Linebacker is primarily charged with playing zone coverage in the middle of the field, however, Mike also blitzes more often than any other LB, and is integral in a zone blitz. The Sam is charged with covering any runs towards the outside of his sector, and will often cover short routes in the flat; Sam will blitz on and off during the game depending the flow of action. The Defensive Coordinator will typically mix up the lineup of LB's in order to confuse the origin of a blitz, as well as the coverage being played.

TD is one of my favorite Panthers for reasons not limited to just on the field production, but I'll have to go with Beason on this one.

I'm tired of guys posting Kuechly's Combine 40 times, as if to say he's faster than TD, or Beason for that matter.

Please cut it out!

We do have 4 outstanding LB's, and I'm glad to have all of them as a Panther.

Here's to a healthy LB core!

What a great problem to have.

Guys, it is not blasphemy to be excited about our newest LB. If he wasn't a great prospect, the Panthers wouldn't have taken him at 9.

That doesn't take anything away from Beason or any other player. Hopefully, RR will put the best players on the field, and at the position most likely to lead to a more effective defense.

Kuechly DID post the fastest 40 out of the group...that is a FACT.

Does not mean anyone is taking anything away from the guts we have. Between Bwason and TD, statistics say that one will not return to form this season. My money is on TD.

Rivera needs stud LB play and we now have enough LB's to play his system.

True statements can be bothersome for one's bias huh? The fact is that Keuchly is now our largest, fastest, and possibly, most athletic LB. I love our LB's just as much as everyone else and I don't want to pick a favorite either, they are all studs, and I would like for them all to remain healthy and be able to retire panthers.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
