Since people are like making a thread for every player after a 2nd win of the season, I should join in also. Just wanna give a big SHOUT OUT to my man, Dwan. When was the last time a Panthers DT, and I know a "DT" had an amazing "6 sacks" (and still counting) in a season? The last DT to came close to 6 was Jenkins in 03' with 5, and 02' with 7. Dwan have been wonderfully great given us the pass rush from the inside that we lacked for years.

Dwan was a great pickup and he's really helped our DE's flourish. Having that threat inside to move the pocket and keep QB's from just stepping up has made a world of difference for our defense. We've been seeing a lot of QB's forced to move laterally and into Hardy/Johnson/Alexander whereas last year they would just move vertically and get the pass off.

Having the DT rotation playing pretty good, makes it easier for Hardy/CJ/Alexander....

Still think we should draft a top rated DT in the draft. Even if the DT takes a year or 2 to develop...

Agree. I really think if Star or Hankins is there that we should still take one of them. If Dwan, CJ and Hardy is having this much success playin along Ron, imagine putting them along Star, someone who will constantly forces double team on him leaving a lot of one on one matchup for the three of them.

Dwan Edwards is a diamond in the rough. Didn't we pick him up off a Bills team that was supposed to have an incredible defense with tons of depth? Bet they'd like to have the six sacks Dwan has given us about now.

Yea, bet they misses him also. That Bills defense is terrible but probably has to do more with their LBs.

I agree, but the development of Chandler, Fua, and Neblett is key . I am really impressed with Chandler, who is very raw. Neblett is a great athlete, but in a contract year, so he needs to impress in the last 8 games. Fua--sometimes, as you say, it takes a year or two.

Ron and Dwan are aging. May get another year or two out of them.

THis year's draft is solid at the top with DTs.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
