It wasn't Polian or Wiley. It was either the host or the guy beside Polian. They mentioned the Tolbert signing & I heard a comment of how it would give Cam a running game or something. I'm pretty sure it was a shot at or disrespect of double trouble but I could have misunderstood the statement.

It was Polian, and when he said it. I turned my tv.

Having Tolbert in the lineup pushes rushing power from 70% to close to 100% which means when we need 2 yards for a first down or touchdown we will succeed 9 out of 10 plays instead of 7 out of 10. Having to defend the middle and the edges will be extremely straining on any defense. With the talent at running back and Newton's running threat you could up it from 2 to 3 and maybe 4 yards. This will boost the passing game tremendously on play action and 3 step drops. If our defense can figure out who they are along with our offense that keeps opposing defenses on its heels the team is going to be really scary.

Last year when Carolina needed 2 yards for a first down or a touchdown and ran the ball we picked up the needed yardage 70% of the time. I thought that fact was understandable in my post.

Anyone else think Tolbert could be the highest scoring FB in the NFL next year?

I really think in this system with his abilities and quickness he has a chance of being more valuebale than most give him credit. Yes his FB duties will limit some things, but with his good hands (short little dump offs) and hard (up the gut) runing style he should get some really good chances to score. I really like this guy as a scoring option!

I know many have said this in many different ways but... "IF" the #2 & #3 WR's are able to do what we think they can and all the other threats at RB, FB, TE & QB......Man this looks scary for D's this year!

SO..... What would you do to slow down the Panthers if you was the DC facing the Panthers??

      It is like when you go to da buffet at da Golden Corral and dey have all dis food and you get the same thing every time.   There is probably something you would like more, but you go to da same ol racks and get da same ol food every time.  Not sure why I am writing in trailer park dialect, but hey, watcha gonna dooo.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.
