Colin Cole


SCP

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.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
