james anderson...panthers record holder

[Eazy-E]

Anderson is not better than Lofton. Lofton is an upper tier MLB. Anderson is an adequate OLB.

I respectfully disagree. Upper tier MLB's don't normally get taken out of the game on passing downs.

lofton has like DT speed. guys such a slug, worse than anderson in pass coverage. beast vs the run tho

surprised he went to a shitty 4-3 saints D , he could be a monster as a 3-4 inside thumper

[CRA]

jets made a couple championship games with slow , undersized white boys in jim leonard and eric smith. yoh dont need to be a superstar back there, just do your job

Leonard didn't have tons of talent but he was smart and play the S spot well. He was a much better S than a more talented Godfrey is

[CRA]

Yeah but the jets front 7 and Cb's then take a big dumb on ours. Also I don't Disagree with you CRA a Landry and Martin combo could be pretty solid. I still want to see Martin out there now over Nakamura. I really don't understand why he is starting over Martin.

As bad as Nakamura is and how his inability forced them to scheme to limit him.....

I think Martin is on the bench today....bc JR is influencing a young HC. Which doesn't speak well about Ron. Can't think of anything else it could be. Martin can't tackle....but he has had moments outside of 2011 of dang good coverage

[Tarheels23]

Godfrey has good hands, and a little speed, that's about it. He's definitely not a SS, TD is probably the best SS we got on the team.

Godfrey is a average FS at best, playing SS.

Even with that said, him and Martin are no where near as bad as Nakamura.

Reggie Smith was playing SS, but was probably the best FS we had, and we cut him. He definitely had better range than anyone on the team.

[Jrock88]

TD back to SS, lets do it

natural transition

[Tarheels23]

I wonder why Martin tackles with this fearlessness when on special teams, but looks scared as hell to tackle when on defense.

[Tarheels23]

TD back to SS, lets do it

natural transition

As much as we play Godfrey in the box, I would definitely do this, and put Godfrey or Martin at FS.

Thought Dan Morgan had the record with 25? Hmm...

EDIT: They did clarify (later on) that it was a regular season record. DM55 still the man. :)

[MaineManPanther]

2 down LB paid like an every down LB.

He is overpaid. But on a poo defense guys get over valued and overrated. Anderson is a solid 2 down LB.....nothing more. What is sad is he consistently does his job....while others don't

Per PFF Anderson the past two years has been graded as the fourth and eleventh best covering OLB with players with at least 50 percent of snaps. His contract year displayed a high level of play, that had he carried over in the following years wouldve made that contract acceptable.

Why cant i find this anywhere but here? ESPN has him at 14. Did i miss a joke or something?

[Who Said What?]

Anderson gets torched repeatedly by TEs in most games. One of his twenty tackles was after a twenty plus yard catch by Bennett on first down from inside their twenty. TWENTY!!!!!

[Urrymonster]

I would take that with a pinch of salt. Teams always seem to over inflate assisted tackles of their players.

Because it is a team record. Accounted for and recognized by the team only.

Either way, DM55 > JA50.
