Kony Ealy

[CLG]

One of those cases where the fans actually seem to know best. Ealy came into himself mid season and looked superior to our other ends.

Didn't get to watch the game. 

 

Looked at the stat lines and saw Ealy had 3 sacks 1int. 

 

Wondering how we lost.

One of those was a strip-sack that he recovered as well, leading to the final FG. Carolina lost because they gifted Denver 17 points in the form of their own fumbles and a ridiculous punt return.

I am happy for Ealy and his family.  I remember the story of his family situation and his little sister.  Guy is a great person and he really played outstanding in the post season.  He was our MVP if we won that game.  We have found our replacement for Hardy but a much better human.  Keep pounding team.

While I am still trying to gather my thoughts and emotions about the game tonight... this man deserves his own thread.  What an absolutely beast performance by him today.  Defense as a whole, including Kuechly and Norman, were outstanding but Ealy was the star.

He's played so well all season long and he is one of the reasons why we should be optimistic for next season.  Him, Short, and Lotulelei are going to form one hell of a defensive line.

Hopefully Jared retires/gets cut and Gettlemen signs Mario Williams to replace him and have Ealy rotate at both spots.

Short, Lotulelei, Ealy, Kuechly, Davis, Thompson, Norman on defense next year... God, I can't wait. 

This Super Bowl loss hurts so much but I can't help but be so excited for our future.  We're so talented and young.  It's going to be a dog fight between us and the Seahawks, probably the Packers too because of Aaron Rodgers.

In the NFC next competition for the Panthers will be the 1. Packers, 2. Seahawks.

Played his ass off. Proud of him. 

[Mr. Scot]

Had we won, I think Ealy would have been voted MVP.

[Jackofalltrades]

We need to dump Johnson and Allen and find someone to pair with Ealy. 

He and Miller were one man wrecking crews tonight.

Hell no to Williams.

So proud of Kony. He gets poo on so much on this board and he had the best game of his career. A lot of people turned out and if they had the opportunity to tee off, the box score would've read a lot different.

Hell no to Williams.

He played solid in a 4-3 D, 10+ sacks. He just didn't play good in BUF after Pettine left because he isn't a good fit for a 3-4 D. Similar situation to Jared Allen in Chicago this season.

[Banjo]

This man wanted it. I wish the offense played like he did...

[Goondal]

So proud of him.  If the offiense made me this proud we would have won easily

The future is bright with Kony

Allen ain't contract next season I believe. 

Cut CJ and go after Muhammad Wilkerson.

Wilkerson would be a DT in a 4-3.  You know this, right?
