Tony Gonzalez, Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow Jr.

Say hello to the non-Panther starting tight ends for the NFC South. Considering that the Panthers have never been able to stop tight ends under John Fox, should seeing these names in our division now concern me? Especially since Meeks has vowed to basically run things like Turdovac did?

[pstall]

well, since you put it this way....WOW

[Delhommey]

This has been discussed, but it boils down to Thomas Davis and Jon Beason are both excellent in coverage, Davis especially.

The idea that we can't cover tight ends is fairly outdated.

Shockey sucks

Shockey sucks

Shockey's one of the best in the league when he's healthy.

[Johnny Rockets]

Shockey and Winslow Jr have found ways to stop themselves.

All of them are scary talented though.

[Delhommey]

Shockey was one of the best in the league when he was healthy.

Fixed.

when did meeks vow that?

i've been thinking that I have been slacking at work a lot, but apparently I am still missing quite a bit

[Jangler]

What does it matter if they are great or suck? In the past we have let both kinds of TEs catch and run all over us.

[monstercat]

I know it was with a different team and different QB, but Tony Gonzalez was held to just a couple of catches by the Panthers last year. They have also done pretty well against Shockey for the most part.

Hmmm, 2 premises neither of which is true, upon which this thread is based.

Until the Panthers defense can prove that they can stop at TE, or anyone crossing over the middle for that matter, the idea is rather current.

Shockey sucks

So much so that he had fifty catches in a year with a new offense and injuries.
