Player to watch on defense isn't Kuechly necessarily, but Thomas Davis

If and when we beat the 49ers on Sunday, the key will probably be Thomas Davis. Think back through this season and his career. Is there anyone that can be counted on more reliably in important games than TD? Had 17 tackles against the Patriots, 14 tackles against the Saints in Charlotte, had the key forced fumble on Kendall Hunter in Round 1 vs. the Niners, was probably the only Panther that played well in the first half of the Saints game in the Superdome. He even led the team in tackles against Arizona in 2008.

 

No one is more reliably great on defense in big games than Thomas Davis. He will come to play and I predict a big TD play late in the 4th quarter wins us the game.

When we drafted TD, you got the impression he was brought in to be the "spy" when we played the Vick led Falcons.  TD is a mobile QB specialist.  He will be the difference in this game!

 

Great point. I can't remember a single mobile quarterback having much success on the ground when TD is on the field. Wilson had under 10, Kaepernick had maybe 15. I think Geno Smith actually had the most this year with 40 yards rushing.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
