Hollis Thomas doing better than Kemoeatu?

[Pantherman]

Kemo is a question for next year and thomas has been around for 14 years and really don't have many years left. If we do resign him it will be for one year only. Long enough for the new coach to find a guy like thomas to take that starter roll. Thomas is short term answer. Not long term. Tyler might be be long term if he shows up and plays well.

Until I see sacks or constant pressure up da middle; NO!

Also..what about D.Lewis..he will be 32

our DT next year

Leonard

Lewis

Hayden

Kemo

Irvin

Tyler

plus a Deep DT class..I can see a lot of these guys gone

It depends on if Kemo can come back. If he does then no one will be able to run on us. I could see Lewis and Hayden being let go. And I could also see Thomas on the team next year.

Don't forget we like to use CJ at DT so that might save a roster spot.

What are you talking about? Hollis Thomas has gotten pressure up the middle, and Kemo has never had a sack as a Panther.

Exactly! If he's not better then he's the same. Plus, Hollis can't be around too much longer. He gettin' old.

Thomas is already old..one of the reasons i dont think he will be here next year...

Even if we had Thomas AND Kemo next year, no way would they play at the same time. They're both nose tackles, and neither is known for penetration. Put them in at the same time and watch the opposing QB go wild...

We need two big nose tackles given that Kemo has been hurt part of the last 2 years and we were very poor when he went down.

Wow, and Leonard already has one.

Leonard.

[Davidson Deac II]

In Kemo's defense, we never got to see him play under Meeks system.

This.

The entire defense is playing better, and its not all because of Thomas. Meeks system seems to fit our players better.

That being said, Thomas is a welcome addition.

Leonard.

leonard is better as a 3 technique guy not a nose tackle.

What makes you think that?

I am sure when hurney traded for him it was not for the 3tech.

No way would they play at the same time though. The pocket would be there all day if they did.

He's got the size to play the nose position, and the lack of speed to ride the bench as a UT.

I don't see him starting as long as Tyler is on the roster. If he sticks it will be as a nose tackle, and he needs time to develop there.
