Starts off reminding everyone he needs to pass a physical. Then adds...

 

On what Allen can add to the Panthers: "He's a pass rushing specialist – that's what he does – and he plays the run very well. He's a physical guy. He's got good size, good hand strength. He rushes with violence. He doesn't just sit there and work one way or the other – he's got counter moves. We watched a lot of tape on him today just to make sure that this could potentially be a fit for us."

But will he ask him if he's the Walmart greeter when he's standing out front tomorrow morning?

I hope he is good to go, passes the physical and is able to take some reps on the field on Sunday!  I look forward to seeing him in black & blue!

He was just on Panthers Talk and seemed really excited about him. Said he'll contribute much sooner than Norwood because he's a seasoned vet and DE is quicker to pick up than WR. Mentioned the pending physical a lot but assuming he passes that, I would bet he'll have a big role right from the Bucs game.

Man, give Jared a players coach, a couple of solid young DTs, plenty of character guys in the locker room, and a top 5 defensive unit? This is exactly the kind of landing spot he needs. I'm beyond stoked

What are the odds that he's already at BoA right now?

[LUUUUUKE]

Rob Rogers is a very very smart man. Capologist extraordinaire!

IDK if we're a Top 5 defensive unit, but I agree with everything else.  Our young stud DTs should allow him to go to work.

I dont think its been said yet...

 

Superbowl!

Say what you want about Rivera he knows defense and he knows Allen will fit. 

[TheWiz]

Really not looking for Jared to come in and save our Dline. But our line definitely just got better.  I still see Sean using different packages out there. If we can get Charles Johnson back healthy after a few weeks, we can see this pay dividends by utilizing him for rotational depth. 

If we can get out of him what we've gotten out of Peanut & Oher, I'll be more than happy.

Definitely not a complaint... just tempering my expectations.
