I don't really know too much about him, and never really saw him play except in limited pre-season work. The Panthers took him in the third round in 2006 as a weak side (Will) linebacker out of Virginia Tech. We could really use someone young to step into the strong side position that is held by Diggs.

Why hasn't this kid been used more there? Has anyone seen him play, and does he look like he may of been a bust, or has he progressed throughout the years here. Anyone with any kind of information as to how he has done so far and does it look are done developing him so far would be appreciated long time huddle fans. He looked like a solid prospect out of college with pretty good speed and strength.

Yeah, he was a damned fine player in college and a damned fine one for us last year late in the season in admitted limited access. I think he's ready to excel, he's certainly not a throwaway...

He definitely is fast and I have noticed him in passing situations some. He also did not suit up every game either last year. It will be hard for him to see a bunch of playing time as long as Davis is healthy, and even if he got hurt, not sure if Anderson would come in before Johnson either. Does anyone remember if it was weak or strong side where Connor was working out last year? If Connor was working weak side, then the Anderson era may be very limited, I hope he sticks around personally.

I just think we would be better suited giving someone playing time who can actually develop under it more. Diggs is past peaked and didn't Johnson's last year at Cinci he played MLB? I wish I would know more about Connor at one of the OLB positions, its time to find our starter of the future at SAM.

Last year during cuts, a lot of emphasis was put on ST, where he was needed. With so much young talent in camp this year, they may look to start devoloping some new guys. If thats the case, Anderson has to be one of the ones on the bubble.

diggs hasn't exactly peaked, he certainly doesn't have fresh legs but he's having a bit of a resurgance here in carolina, until somebody can unseat him he should be the starter

If I remember correctly, our starter was injured his rookie season I believe towards the end of the season, and he had a very good game against New Orleans. He had a 1 or 2 sacks and got a lot of pressure on the QB. I've always liked what I've seen from him, but I think despite his strength and speed, he may have problems on non-passing downs... That's the only thing I can figure as to why he doesn't get on the field.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Chaos · Posted

      What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By MartyClemons · Posted

      This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
