Frank Alexander/Thomas Keiser > Greg Hardy

[CAVSS]

The coaches know more about this team and football in general and especially the defensive side of the ball than anyone on this board. If backups were obviously outperforming starters they wouldn't be backups.

In making any assessment to the contrary you would have to take the stand that our coaching staff are completely inept and unable to see clearly what is right in front of them. Admittedly there have been times when I believed this of Fox & co, however, Rivera has yet to display any such tendency IMO.

8 tckls

1 sack

[Ivan The Awesome]

Well I hope he's consistent.

[PantherTrain]

I agree. Alexander has far more upsde. Hardy is just a guy i like to call "close but no cigar" he almost has what it takes to be a great but will never get over that hump. Alexander can be a beast.

[panthers34]

hardy had 8 tackles at DE and got some pass rush..can't ask for much more than that

[Guest Bwood]

Alexander looked good and was able to bat those two passes down. Hardy looked good too, still don't know why Keiser was out.

Where the fug was the 70 Million Dollar Man?

[Tarheels23]

Hardy has done great in the run game. He actually got a key pass defection as well.

I love his motor, and I think him and Dwan will make a nice pair over on that right side.

[Guest Bwood]

Dwan Edwards needs his own fuging thread, I don't know WHY that hasn't been done yet.

CJ had a really good 2nd half. Him and Dwan was providing tons of pressure.

Hardy was solid along with Alexander.

[GRWatcher]

And it actually was Applewhite that started the game not Hardy. Didn't last, he's not as fast as Hardy. I figured Hardy would be coming in when Applewhite couldn't chase down the screen pass in what was I think the Bucs' 3rd play. 2nd half it was like a different mind set, less sitting back and waiting for everybody.

They were much more of that attacking defense we've been hearing all about in the second half. The whole d-line played really well in the second half, CJ and hardy providing pressure along with dwan

Exactly.

Dwan was a HUGE addition for this DLine. We actually have a pair of NFL calibre DT's now.
