For Panthers defensive end

Charles Johnsonicon-article-link.gif, playing in the Georgia Dome makes him feel like he's back in high school.

Johnson played like the big man on campus Sunday, only to have the Atlanta Falcons rain on his homecoming parade in the final seconds.

"It's hard when you put so much work in like we did but don't finish," Johnson said. "It was very disappointing. We did some good things out there."

Johnson set a single-game franchise record with 3.5 sacks, half of the team's record-tying seven sacks. But when Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan heaved a pass deep to Roddy White in the final minute to set up the game-winning field goal, Johnson was reduced to a spectator with a really poor seat.

He's been criticized a lot. His performance was a loud response.

Even through three game he has given more effort and affected his side of the field more than Eppers ever did the last 4 years in Carolina.

The greif that some give him for getting a contract is just plain stupid. He truly get double and triple teamed and Peppers got blocked by back up tight ends.

Congrats to him and Frank Alexander and Hardy for having teeing off on Ryan most the game.

Charles Johnson worked his assignment yesterday and was effective in the outcome of the game. I would love to see A. Smith (36) back on the field to help with the run. D. Williams showed improvement and it was obvious Stewart is not 100%. I know Beason is a great player, but I was not too impressed with his blocking techniques yesterday. Will somebody please explain why it takes five of our guys to stop runners like Turner? In spike of everything, hate we didn't get the win. Love my Panther!!!!! B)

Right now I would rather see Frank start. The guy just has a motor that Hardy does not.

I'm still worried about his ability to contain the run. If he can fix that to a respectable part of his game, I'm not adverse to starting Alexander over Hardy. I saw a few times yesterday where he took himself out of the play. If he can self-discipline, I say go for it.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
