Bruce Irvin playing against Texans

It is a long season, the more talent on defense the merrier.

Welcome back Bruce!

You can never have too many pass rushers.

It's not my ass that's showing.  But don't let me ruin the Marty Hurney circle jerk.

Wasn't aware that was going on.  Go on, Rebel without a cause.

Exactly, Bruce will allow the Panthers to rotate players more frequently, reducing the chances of the defense tanking late in the game.

Having Bruce back is definitely a good thing. 

No need for the negativity bs.

I've been plenty critical of things in the past, but you're just being ridiculous bitching and moaning about a player returning from injury potentially missing time in the future basically insinuating that he's soft or trying to rip the Panthers off. The guy has missed very little time in his career due to injury. He pulled his hamstring and had to heal up. Rushing a guy back from a bad hammy isn't going to do any good for anyone involved. Good grief.

Yep.  It's amusing when non-professional athletes pretend like they would never get hurt if they played lol

I can understand being disappointed that a player gets hurt, but I've never understood the logic of holding it against them (unless they don't take care of their body, but clearly Irvin does - he's an amazing athlete, or at least was when he was younger).  It isn't like guys are purposely injuring themselves.

I doubt had Bruce played in the first 2 games that it would have changed the outcome.  Him sitting out for close to the 1st quarter of the season is probably a very good thing for us if we actually make it to the playoffs, considering his age.

This is great.   Do we quickly forget how it was without a pass rush?

Your negativity is even greater than the people you complain about. Get off the soap box at let people have feelings and opinions.

No one had mentioned Hurney until you did.  Weird circle jerk imo.

You seem to have an unhealthy fascination with him.

I’ve never really bought into the heavy rotation on the D line gives you a better overall pass rush. We rotate way more than any other team and other teams do just fine. It’s not like we have had some superstar pass rush in the 4th quarter. You need to play your best players as much as you can. Some rotation is good obviously but we overdo it.

I must have missed something. What happened to Haynes?

He’s on the injury report for his elbow. Didn’t practice yesterday, was limited today. Haven’t heard any specifics, but it’s probably one of those where he could go if he had to but if Bruce is ready then he’ll be inactive to give him more time.
