I apologize Kemo

[CAPantherFan]

Until last nights game I had no idea how important you were. I always thought you were a fat tub of lard that was pretty much useless until I saw the Giants run over 200yards on us.

You are now my unsung hero. Get healthy quick so we can use your fatass to plug those running lanes.

I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me for ever doubting you!!

[JeramiahCopperfield]

You are forgiven you weak minded fool

[bryn10]

good stuff, yeah we really did miss his tank ass last night in the middle

[panthers55]

I have been telling folks that Kemo was our most important lineman against the run including Peppers. It is a shame that it takes something like last night to show people the truth. Then again I told folks how important Delhomme was and it took last year to prove that too.

Problem is being right doen't do much to win a game. Sure hope Kemo can play in the playoffs. We need him if we end up going back to the Meadowlands.

[Zod]

same here.

Stat loving fans don't get it and never will. Sometimes redirecting the runner with your fat ass is as good as a tackle assist.

[HoFBound90]

Yup, as we all most likely saw. He is important and maybe all the haters out there can cut him a break now. There's a reason he was signed and brought here and many of you couldn't see how crucial it can be.

Now if the Giants had thrown it more, the flaming of Kemo would continue and no one would be the wiser.

Agree I think Kemo being out hurt us. We might not realize it, but Kemo takes up so much room and so many blockers that Beason, Davis, and Diggs get freed up. From my observations it looked like our linebackers were over-running tackles or sometimes just simply being blocked. Holes were bigger and I think the Jacobs and Ward combo absolutely wore us down. When we were in position Jacobs would hurt us by doing what he does trucking and running hard, but when we weren't in position Ward would gash us right up the middle. With that said there is a little difference in 78 Hayden and Kemo. No offense to Hayden. We need Kemo back taking up all that room.

[Go To Girl]

I'll relay the message to him. He and I have been one all season long.

[littlebigman89]

Him not being there hurt our linebackers, especially Beason. They were having to take on the blocks he usually takes on that allows them to run free.

[natty]

Yeah Beason and Davis had uglies on em a lot.

[spartan_pantherfan]

Ive been a fan of Kemo since day 1, I remember all the " I cant believe we spent money on him, what a waste.. " etc... threads, he is a huge part of our D, and without him Beasons amazing rookie season would not have been what it was.

[Malt Liquor]

Do y'all think Kemo and Lewis will be back against the Aints?

[SCpanther]

I apologize too. I never realized what a critical role he plays in stopping the run. Yeah, he mainly just clogs up the middle but watching Hayden, Walker, and Gibson get mauled made me realize how much we need the big guy. None of our other DTs can take on a double team.

[Davidson Deac II]

Do y'all think Kemo and Lewis will be back against the Aints?

I hope they will. We are definitely better with them. That being said, we probably need them less against the Saints than most other teams, since the Saints like to throw it so much. But we will likely see more of Pierre Thomas than we would otherwise.
