Thanks for a compliments guys. I have a few more that I will post here this morning.... I took a TON of them but not all of them are interesting.

It's the offseason. Trust me, the bar for "interesting" is set pretty low at this point :lol:

without pads on its kinda hard to really get a solid firm block on someone unless its a straight shot. looks mostly like some material grabbing too, no limbs being pulled around.

On another note if Norman is even able to cover smith in pads occasionally, then he'll be WAY more than we asked for in a 5th round corner.

Is Hardy our biggest non-DT defender right now? He seems to dwarf even the linebackers...

Without pads, it's hard to do (and judge) a lot of things.

As to Hardy, if it's true that he's up to 299, the answer is yes. Ryan Van Bergen is listed at 290. Everyone else is 275 or less. DTs start at around 295 (Neblett and Nate Chandler).

I would certainly hope that a DE is the biggest defender on a defense other than DTs. When would or has this not been the case?

Looks like Norman got inside position on Smith in the one shot.

Can't tell if Smith grabbed him from the pics, but immediately after he's doing the whole hands-up "I didn't do it" bit (half the time that draws a flag) :lol:

I think I remember that play.

    • this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.  
    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
