And that doesn't count James Anderson, who last year established a franchise record for tackles while starting in all 16 games.

A six-year veteran, Anderson is a relatively anonymous defender to most fans, but he is well regarded in the league and in the Carolina locker room. And the former third-round choice (2006) has started all but one game the past two years and has totaled 275 tackles.

lol @ the posters who continue to refer to this guy as a dime a dozen linebacker. anderson got his last year and he will get his again this year.

Like Gantt said "someone has to get the tackle stats" I bet most of his tackles are after 15+ yard gains.

Anderson has 18 stuffs the past two seasons, one of the highest amounts in the league over that time span. Also tied with All-Pro linebacker Derrick Johnson for 2nd most passes defended, second to only Patrick Willis.

I used to be one of those guys that felt Anderson was nothing more than average. While I stick by saying he is a two down linebacker (at least compared to Kuechly, Beason, and a healthy-Davis), he has definitely been a valuable piece to our defense.

Anderson has been quietly getting the job done for several years.I still think we lack some talent on the front 7 and secondary but our defense should improve if Ron Edwards and Beason are healthy.My hopes are to be a top 15 defense next year.

Lots of average joes have racked up tackles....especially on bad defenses. He isn't a difference maker.

At least he made the tackles. 10 other guys didn't get the job done but he did. He's not a guy that can be the best player on a D but he can be a very valuable player on a good D.

He made the tackles bc he doesn't suck. Lots of the guys he shared the field with last year didn't belong on a field

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
