Rivera Was Right To Keep Beason In The Middle

I like the decision to keep Beason in the middle. Beason has solidified the middle of our defense for years and was awarded multiple Pro Bowls for doing it. I also think that it shows support for players that do what they're expected to do and players that play the way they're expected to play, in other words, it shows loyalty. It is my belief that if you show player loyality, you'll gain player buy in. This is extremely important with/for veteran players. You don't move a player like Beason in favor of a rookie! I like Kuechly and think that he brings much needed quality depth at the LB position, not to mention his tackling ability and nose for the ball.

Nice article, I don't remember who made the comparison, but they said that in Chicago. Rivera centered his defense around Briggs and Urlacher. Kuechly and Beason are pretty much that. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I'd like to see what type of D he will cater to these two.

Did some of you seriously think a rookie LB was going to replace an All-Pro ILB & defensive captain in the prime of his career?

yes, some people did. some of the league "expert" analysts were saying the same thing.

beyond dumb.

I literally choked on my dinner during the draft after our pick was made & Mel Kiper Jr kept saying we needed an ILB & we finally had someone to be the captain & heart & soul of our defense. Then I grabbed my phone & did a quick search to make sure Beason hadn't died or been abducted by aliens. Then 2 weeks later he kept saying the same things over & over on NFL 32 & SportsCenter.

I literally sent Mel Kiper Jr a personal e-mail thanking him & showing my appreciation for his kind words of motivation. Beason got the messaged too, I saw some of his tweets. Jon is pissed! Mel disrespected the beast & he's gonna take it out on the league.

I don't think that many people thought that Keuchly would play primarily in the middle this year, but I still think that 2 or 3 years from now that Keuchly will be the starter there. He can play all three positions but I think that he is ultimately our long term solution in the middle.

“Who the hell is Mel Kiper”

This tool on television who hypes up which ever draft prospect pays him the most. He's easy to spot, he has a greasy 1950's hair style & usually has a stick up his ass.

Beason should stay in the middle-if he is healthy. You cannot dismiss the severity of an Achilles injury and pretend everything is going to be the same.

They are right to start him there and keep him there if he is able, but get mad if you want--2010 Beason cannot play MLB for us. I feel that any of our 3 starters could play any of the other 2 positons.

There is a reason Beason is starting in the middle

There is also a reason Luke is learning the MLB spot and Beason will be asked to work at WLB as well......

Nothing new. Nothing has been said that wasn't expected when Luke was drafted.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
