Panthers Trade for Jared Allen

[imminent rogaine]

I'm guessing Allen will be used much like John Abraham was used for the Falcons circa 2008-2012.  Pass rushing specialist on 3rd downs/passing downs, subbed out on early downs and rushing downs.  But if Johnson misses extended time, he might be called upon to be a full-time starter, and according to the Bears fans I've talked to, he's terrible at stopping the run.

Looking at that video from him against the Cards, he looked old when he was getting in on run plays but looked like the real deal when rushing the passer. In the long-term, you are probably right that he is spelled during early/running downs.

Wonder why it's taking so long to decide who to cut?

They might be debating to put Charles Johnson on IR/designated to return, or cutting someone.  They are also dealing with the Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly injuries, so they might be calling up Adarius Glanton from the practice squad.  Probably waiting until the last minute to make a cut.

Whoever it is has already been cut I assume. Its just that it hasnt been announced.

He's been done but he's still better than Ealy

Ealy is young....the Kraken took a minute to develop too...So, I'll give the guy a pass.

[Captain Obvious]

according to Charles Johnson instagram he is being placed on ir to return in 8 weeks.

From the official team website: 

 

 

 

CHARLOTTE – How much will Jared Allen contribute to the Carolina Panthers this season?

Time will tell.

But no matter how it works out, the Panthers sent a strong message with the move.

The time is now.

Love that.

Not only will you get a veteran pass rusher in Allen, you will also get a field leader that will elevate the play of others on the team. I love Allen from his days in Minnesota because not only was he serious on the field, he was also a funny guy and I think his personality will fit well with the rest of the roster.

If CJ drew that I'm ready to declare him Legend.

Big money dun bought himself a fire house and a copy of Madden. Seems legit.

 

 

[Mr. Scot]

Well, the biggest question of the day is now answered.

The team site now lists Allen on the roster and shows his jersey number as 69.

He's on IR, though.

If he wasn't washed up and slow now than this would be decent.
