Star Lotulelei has to be the front runner for Defensive Rookie of the Year. I'm hoping the guy has a chip on his shoulder as well for falling from the top of the draft. I'm just stunned, prolly as much as a lot of Panther fans. I am so excited about what this defensive front seven can do, its scary! Josh Thomas and D.J. Campbell showed me enough in the final few games, to go into training camp as potential starters.

I know for the past two years it has looked as we have turned a corner with our season ending pushes, but I believe this is a year we will finally live up to the hype, us Panther fans expect.

I'm ranting, blame it on the Sailor Jerry (Good Shizz). Along with the excitement of the Luke Star!!!

Let's Go Panthers!!!!!! As always the future is getting Brighter!!!!!!

P.S. Sorry I irate you Zod, nothing but love to Panther Fans!!!!

It's been 19 years since a defensive tackle won the award, so history says it's a long shot.

Suh won it back in 2010.

That being said it's still going to be hard for Star, though I still expect him to make a push for it.

I never thought about the last time a DT won the award. that is awhile.

Who won it the year Suh came into the league? moving to google......

Maybe he should play an NFL game first? But I like your enthusiasm.

Of course you like my enthusiasm, we all nutted over this pick.

my bet is on Ansah. But there is still Dion Jordon, and several good CBs, and safeties. I do think overall Star is the best defensive player in this draft. And I have been thinking that for months. It's hard for a DT to win it. He will have to be completely dominant but I think he is capable.

Ansah is going to take time if he even gets it going in the NFL. And Jordan only played half the defensive snaps in college. Not sure he can be an every down player, its something he will need to prove.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
