Colin Cole

Recommended Posts

This tornado news is killing me so I need to escape from reality for a few. Story today on Panthers.com about Colin Cole. This guy is intriguing as hell. Big body at 6'2" and 330lbs. Was playing really well in Seattle until his ankle issue. Has a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove he can still play this game. Says his ankle is now 100%. I'm quietly excited about this guy. We finally have a potential interior D line with NFL size. No more undersized garbage like Nebletts and Fua. Buckner always used to say on his radio show that the best free agents are guys that have something to prove. I think Cole qualifies.

If you pray, say one for our friends in Oklahoma.

today has been an awful day with the tornado devastation in OK and ray manzarek passing...

 

puts things into perspective, but I hope Colin Cole has an impact. Our d-line is shaping up nicely not only for this year but for the future.

 

Gaydosh is also intriguing, we got a lot of big bodies. I can't wait to see how we perform on gamedays.

I'll tell you what, if Cole truly is healthy and can revert back to his days with Seattle; then Carolina will have a hell of a defensive tackle stable. I'm trying not to sound too optimistic because after all, Cole hasn't been fully healthy in quite some time and two of our defensive tackle's are rookies... however if the rookies step up and Cole is fully healthy then this group of defensive tackle's will be super fun to watch.

I agree with everything you said with the exception of your criticism of Neblett. I felt he use to be an overachiever on our weak line. Fua should have been cut with McClain. Fua had on skates when we drafted him and he puts his skates back on as soon as his name is called with the second rotation scrubs for minutes. Worst nose tackle we have had in panther history.

Soooooo excited for the opportunity to STUFF strong running teams like Seattle and Minnesota this year... It's gonna happen baby ooooooh year it's gonna happen.

My biggest gripe about Nebblett was his 5'11" and 295lb measurables.

    • Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂
    • Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
