I seem to remember Hollis Thomas a few years ago coming off a serious injury and was 35 at the time. He came in and was solid for us in 2009. Again last year off was likely good to help him heal up totally and recuperate from all the wear and tear over the years. I expect him to be very solid.

Just sayin......................

I always think its interesting how fans find one example of something that worked and all of a sudden its a given rule.

Well, lets just bring in ALL THE 35 YEAR OLD DTS!!!! APPEARANTLY IT WORKS EVERY TIME.

See that is just silly.

You mean like fans who say that just because he is 33 then that is a concern regardless of how he plays or what shape he is in. I showed you how age at nose tackle as recently as 2009 wasn't an issue. At least I can point out an example where age isn't a concern.

Concern for no reason is just silly.

One time a Super bowl MVP was a bag boy. Quick people lets go to the grocery store.

What's with all the anxiety and preseason hasn't even started. How about saving the anxiety attacks and heart palpitations for when it is justified. I can't believe all the whining.

For what it is worth, an excellent way to combat anxiety is to find instances in your experience where there are exceptions to the anxiety provoking thought. Obviously wasted on you though............

No anxiety at all. I've come to accept our D will suck. Why am I here? I don't know maybe I like the team. I dont need a Superbowl chase every year to enjoy following the team.

I think you are going to be wrong about the defense. I think we are going to be much improved. If that doesn't prove to be true there will be plenty of time to get depressed and join you and others. Way too early for the "sky is falling" proclamations.

Is it a given rule that you can't play football past the age of 32!? He gave you an example of someone who was two years older, who played well. It didn't mean that all mid 30s guys are going to play at a high level, just that you shouldn't knock the man just because of his age.

Its silly, to act as if you know,that Edwards can't play just because he's 33.

Sorry, I don't see it as a "sky is falling proclamation". Just a realistic preseason look at what we have on the roster. Anything can happen, but that doesnt mean that I buy lottery tickets just cause i could win. Football isn't the rocket science the league wants you to think it is. You get good at certain positions and there will be results. We got good at QB and TE and cutback the running game and then we had a good offence. You have to get good at certain positions and leave the solid 35 year olds for other positions.

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Sunday Ticket is now offering a monthly subscription if you're not interested in subscribing for the full package Keep in mind that the full package will be less expensive than getting billed monthly for the same timeframe.  But for a one-off month situation? Certainly an option to consider they also don't seem to mind if 2 households share the same Sunday Ticket login. If you call and ask for discounts, they kinda allude to "do you have a friend you can share the cost with" in the conversation

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      Watching ALL the games will require: Antenna or cable access to local broadcast partners to view the games of the local team. Due to blackout restrictions, the local games will not be available on Sunday Ticket.  What this means is that you DON'T NEED Sunday Ticket to view those local team's games. All games for a local team will ALWAYS be available on a local broadcast partner, no subscription required I've had success streaming the evening Sunday and Monday national games directly off the NFL/NBC/ABC websites, no subscription required. That said, ESPN may require login via your cable provider account - but it's included in your cable fee, so have fun with that.  NBC is available for free via antenna (or avail via cable, take your pick -- and ABC has been simulcasting the ESPN games, so that's also an antenna/free optio. The Peacock and Netflix exclusive games will require subscriptions to those services if the teams are not your local team YouTube will broadcast the Brazil game free  NFL Network for those random thursday games that aren't your local team... until the ESPN partnership comes into play, in which case your ESPN subscription should give you access (lots of assumptions with this bullet) Everything else is pretty much Sunday Ticket or go to your local bar I may have missed one, but the general gist is above In short, don't believe the online influences who say you need to purchase a full-year subscription to a service to watch "all" the NFL games (ie full year of Peacock). Because you don't need a full-year sub.   So no -- there is not a single service that will let you watch ALL the games Sunday Ticket will only cover you only for the sunday daytime games.

      Aaaaaaand... ND immediately throws an INT. Tried to run that same screen they've ran a dozen times tonight and Miami had two defenders sitting on it and he threw it anyway.
