"The Panthers' defensive line has the potential to be scary good. With Johnson on the other side, teams have to decide which sack artist gets the double-team. If defensive tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short -- the team's top two picks in the 2013 draft -- pan out, the Panthers will be on to something.

Hardy may emerge as the promising line's biggest star. A jump into the 15-plus sack club is well within reach."

Que bueno.

Nice write up.  I like his line that if it were a buddy cop movie that he would be cast as the loose cannon with nothing to lose.

Glad to see Hardy gettting some respect, much deserved

Should be top 5.. Krakheads like myself are expecting those 50+ sacks to exist after next season

Just thanks to his internet presence, I'm rooting extra hard for Kraken this year.

Jaws would rate him the 95th best DE in the NFL.

I think his presence in this forum has turned him into a demi-god. 

 

Between Edwards, Star, Short and Cole they should keep the interior linemen occupied meaning mano e mano for Johnson and Hardy.

prediction: Kraken will get 10+ sacks

 

 

in week 1

I think he will get 15 sacks.  This defensive line will be very tough.  We will using an aggressive scheme which will play to both Hardy and Johnson.  The only thing which will hold down their numbers is if we blitz a bunch with linebackers and safeties.

I wanna see hardy as the joker like pep used to do. At the last minute run up on top of CJ at the snap and watch the tackles eyes roll into the back of his head.
