Captain

[spartan_pantherfan]

Yeah great pick, he is just as impressive as Marshall was in his rookie season.

it just sucks that we got this guy so late and wasted our 2nd pick on Martin, we could have taken someone who could be starting in our weak DT situation, or even have gotten Smith ( Sean Smith, CD - Dolphins right? ) who would have made our secondary EXTREMLY talented.

WTF were they thinking??

[raleigh-panther]

He's our 'Rudy'.

Where the hell is that 2nd round pick, Martin...the guy we took instead of Sean Smith and/or a decent DT.

This dude is my fav for his name alone. Hope he doesn't turn out like Godfrey.

He's the only consistent tackler in our backfield. He's the only one that stood face to face with the WR off the line. He's the one I see swarming to the ball. Yeah, he's had a few penalties but those are aggressive rookie mistakes. I'll take them because it's making him a better aggressive player. How can you not like him?

We have yet to really exploit his speed.

Kind of like Ricky Manning minus the attitude :sosp:

Think of this: how many times has he been the one to run down the RB trying to get to the corner making that open field tackle? You're right, his speed is outstanding. Now if ST could get their act together on punts, we'll gladly exploit it.

I'm a big fan.

I'm amazed that guy is really becoming a special player. Why did many teams pass on him? Even many should know a good player when they see one, but they pass on him. Oh well. Their loss is our gain. Go Captain!!

Pleasant surprise. Still think Wilson has plenty to give, but good to see Captain getting it done on the field.

Because a lot of coaches turned their noses up at the "REAL USC" Defense. There were like, in the very least, 4 or 5 guys from that D that were expected to go pretty high in the draft. Captain was one of them. Brinkley (Casper's brother Jasper) who was amazing at USC was one. Maybe Stoney Woodson was one too I can't remember. This whole season so far has got my football mind kinda clouded.

The one thing I want him to improve on is his judgment when returning punts. It seems he waved for a couple of fair catches (at least last game) where he had at least ten yards of space in front of him.

Yeah that was very questionable. He had a pretty big cushion to go for it on that last game return/not return. He'll pick it up. He's got the right mentality going in. Only the future will tell though. It is high time we had even a semi-shutdown corner.
