Also worth noting that Butler has very long arms and giant hands as well. If he can develop great hand use and placement, interior offensive linemen are going to struggle to get their hands on and engage him in both pass protection and run blocking. Long arms and initial burst off the line of scrimmage, especially for a guy of his weight and power are great traits to have at the defensive tackle position. I suspect the work of Coach Washington and having guys like Star and Kawann to learn from will allow his transition to the NFL to be as smooth as possible. I'm liking this pick more and more. Really excited to see how creative we can get on passing downs and backed up against the goal line.

My biggest worry about a potential match-up with Arizona is their speed at receiver and ability to get vertical in a hurry. Outside of Norman, we really have no excellent cover guys that can cover the deep third of the field in a hurry. Bene isn't particularly fast, and Tillman and Harper have no business trying to run with Floyd, Brown, and that rookie out of UAB. I suspect we will drop our safeties very deep and hope the front 7 can keep the running game contained.

I'm honestly not sure this has ever happened after a win, but I never ever want to watch that game again. I feel like I just got off the craziest roller coaster ride of my life.

24-13. Good guys.

Can someone explain to me where the heck CJ was on the final drive by Houston? We had Cole out there at one point, Love another with Ealy and Addison. Where was Big Money? I don't remember him getting hurt and he's by far our best pass rusher.

Line or not he didn't run this hard in Carolina the last couple years. Announcers even mentioned he lost a bunch of weight this off-season and got his explosiveness back.

DeAngelo was pretty clearly content just collecting his money the last couple years in Charlotte.

Steelers Defense = Trash.

My girlfriend didn't care about watching Panther games until we drafted Luke. @ProvAztec09

Was it Shaq that got into the backfield instantly on a blitz that allowed for Ealy to get the sack?

Can't replicate that scenario in practice quite the same. Just brutal.

That's embarrassing that we didn't take a time out and play situational football at the end of the half.

I saw on Twitter tonight that Wegher and Ward are bowling together this evening. I imagine they have shattered some pins together.

Seems our defense is always a step late on 3rd down. Gross.

Third down defense = doo doo

Dolphins got official word that Delmas tore his ACL today during practice. If the Dolphins know, as reported by RapSheet, then why wouldn't we know already?

Not good at all. Just saw the video... ugly.

Todman also grew up in Massachusetts and is best childhood friends with a friend of mine. So I hope he's a Panther. He has produced as an RB in the NFL before, is probably the best kick returner on the roster, brings speed we lack on offense, and can tackle on special teams.

Shaq has arrived!

I will say this: Leading the SEC in rushing and being named First Team all SEC is not by chance. He's as talented as they come at the tailback position.

I used to work for the Patriots and personally escorted Brady around during signings after training camp practices. Brady would usually sign once a week and at the most would sign 10 items before heading to the locker room.

Speed is only one facet to rushing the passer. He certainly has his deficiencies elsewhere. But his speed at the position is incredible. I remember multiple times last year him running down receivers and backs and some of the faster QBs in this league from behind.

Super Mario is probably too fast for 90% of the OTs in this league. Lets hope he can sustain his current weight and strength or even get a little bigger.

Glanton and Ward got into it briefly today. Glanton swiped Ward's helmet off of his head with a swift swipe of the arm but Ward didn't engage or react. Just tough physical play out of both of them. Wouldn't call it a fight.

ugh not Star.
