Looking at Kuechly and Davis again--statistically

I normally don't start threads, but I expected more "fuss" about the defensive performance we just saw from our 2,  3-down LBs.

 

Combined, Thomas Davis and Luke Keuchly had 38 tackles.  That is 47% of the tackles made by the defense.  Think about that.

 

The Panthers had 2 interceptions.  Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly had 2 interceptions.

 

I am not sure that I have ever seen a duo of LBs have a better game. 

 

New Orleans ran 81 plays and controlled the ball for 38+ minutes.  To put that in perspective, the Panthers ran 44 plays in about 22 minutes.  The NFL average is about 65 plays.

 

Cam may have the superman celebrations, but Thomas Davis is superman to me---and Luke looks like him,

Considering what our defense did and has done, no apologies.  Cam really is not superman, he just pretends to be because it is better than "discount double check."  we realize that right? I will say that Cam's drive showed me that he is very capable of being an elite NFL QB--the next generation of Brady, Manning.  It was awesome.

 

Have a good Christmas, Rum.

Yes.  He is franchise to me now.  I could not be happier.  I still say he was not a franchise qb last year.  He always had the potential to be, but he was not there yet.

 

Note that his numbers are lower now than they were when I was criticizing him.  He has the same line, the same WRs.  The defense has made him a better QB, IMO because he can afford to be conservative and wait for his spots.

 

I realize that he is banged up a bit, but that last drive, the way he stood in the pocket, stepped up, and threw the WRs open was special.  The way he did not flinch when the blitz all but had him and still threw a perfect pass to Hixon.

 

My comment was not intended to disrespect Cam, it was a reference to his trademark gesture--

You must have sat behind me at the game yelling Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire. He's had these drives against the 49ers, patriots, and dolphins already this year.

Cam just done his super man thing but you know he is giving credit to Kuechly and Davis.

Yeah I'm surprised the performance of those two isn't getting more praise period.  I can honestly say that's the best one-two punch of linebacking I've ever seen in an NFL game.  They were just fuging dominant yesterday (along with Hardy).

 

It pisses me off that one of the greatest linebacking performances you'll ever witness in a single game is getting NO national attention because everyone is talking about how fuging Tony Romo squeaked by and managed to not fug up against the worst goddamn team in the league at the last second.

 

Apparently Tony Romo actually managing to win a game in December is a bigger story... and people wonder why the overrated-ass Cowboys get so much hate.

More people need to know about Thomas Davis' story.  I'm hoping the playoffs get him a little more recognition for what he had to fight through to come back and play at the level he is playing at.

 

If he were on a major market team, he would be all over the media.  I'm sure he is fine with quietly going about his business, but more people need to take notice of how great a story this is.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
