Shaq-Tastic

[TheNewStandard]

Just wanted to give the man-child a shoutout, 'cause he showed out last night. He's already busting through double teams at runs and screens aimed at targeting his side of the field. 

 

Love the way he swarms and I swear he's bigger, faster and stronger than both Luke and TD. Didn't get to see him much in coverage as it was our CBs being targeted diwnfield. 

 

There aren't going to be many rushers making it past that second level and I believe Shaqu was a big part of Luke getting 3 tackles for loss or no gain.

I didn't know it was possible, but he may be more of a violent and vicious tackler than Luke and TD. Shaq was throwing full-grown men to the ground on more than one occasion.

That D is going to be something else if they stay healthy.

Really impressed with what I've seen from him so far.  I'm just glad to finally fuging see him... dude has been a complete enigma since we drafted him.

Any chance we see Shaq quite a bit in the fourth game to make up for lost reps/time earlier in the pre-season? Wouldn't hate it.

The youngster has tree trunks for arms and legs, he's a physical specimen and an oddity (I say that in a good way.) unbelievable he covers so well. 

 

His is physicality adds so much to an already physically imposing front 7. The guy can pass rush as an outside DE, cover, attack the ball on the line and attacks the ball carrier or takes out lead blockers at the LOS. 

 

Gettle-magic, Shaq-tastic

He seems like a Hardy version of TD

[PantherPhann89]

He played well in game 3. I'm looking forward to seeing him in game 4...

[Toker Smurf]

Agree,  seems like the biggest concern for him stopping the run.  Seems to be doing pretty well with it.

He isnt bigger.

Glad to here he is impressing. I was unable to watch this one.

I thought he played great especially when he is attacking. I did notice on two runs, he seemed to be waiting for the RB and then whiffed on two tackles. I am not nitpicking just noticing where he can improve. I think he will be a great addition for us.

yeah, he gets jukes sometimes, but it's usually at the line and our safeties are doing a great job of swarming when a rusher gets past that initial push.

Our LB corps will be even scarier and have more room to operate when Big Money, Star, and Kawann get back. Those three make their jobs very easy and we haven't even got a chance to witness it yet. Hoping those three can shake off the rust quickly this season. Need them to start fast.

TD was the hardest hitter I've ever seen play for the Panthers. In his prime he hit someone so hard one night I thought he was dead. He had to go to the ER. I think it was a special teams play, but it's been a long time. TD would almost murder players. He doesn't hit like that now, but in his prime good lord. Shaq doesn't hit like that, but I love his violent tackles as well.
