I felt like we relied on him way to much during the season. I thought bene would be the starter and then move to nickel on certain packages. But Tillman was getting more playing time. I would look for a upgrade in the off season he can still play but it's too risky to think he will stay healthy.

He is better than Bene at this point in their respective careers (when healthy), so I can see why they played him more.  Early in the season when the offense was struggling, he was a key factor in our success.  I can't really fault the staff for putting the best team on the field.   I just hope he can get back in time for the playoffs.

I disagree, Tillman gave up a lot of big plays specifically on 3rd down and he was the main DB being attacked before he got hurt. Yeah he was big on the forced fumbles but thats not what makes a great CB. Bene being able to cover the slot and the outside has been better for us. He wasnt bad just dont think he is more valuable then Bene,

Looking forward to seeing Teddy Williams and Finnegan.

On panthers.com it said he was a full participant. That's good right?

yeah it's true.  I'm one of those weird & rare stat geek and football loving females... I fessed up a few days ago on another thread.  But I'm having fun hanging with the guys, and y'all can still call me dude.  I take it as a compliment.  LOL.

It's the internet. Until an alternative image is provided I assume everyone of you people looks like this:

He's been out a month already, and there's 4 weeks until our first playoff game. I'd think that would be enough time for a "partial" tear to heal.

No such thing as healing of an acl, what is torn is torn. That being said, you can compensate by having/building the muscles around it.

However, the force involved in the tear most likely messed up other stuff including the muscles as well. This is what needs the healing and that status was tested yesterday.

How awesome to see Peanut play so well.  He made a HUGE difference with his two turnovers.
