Connor + Beason + Davis = Best LB core in the league???

[The Guy]

I was just thinking of this the other day. Beason and Davis are amazing and if Connor and Anderson live up to expectations it will be the bes LB core. In 4-3 schemes it is either us or the Texans, and we have better back ups (and a better MLB). I am excited to see what will happen with Norwood/Connor/ in TC. It is going to be one of the more exciting TC's that I can think of. Here's to a great season. Go Panthers

Case could be made for best 4-3 group. But the 3-4 teams have some pretty good linebacker corps. The Jets and the Packers have some class A linebackers.

I think we should wait to see Connor actually play, but Beason + Davis = the best two LB's any team can boast.

Anderson outplayed Connor last season, IMO.

this except didnt anderson play davis's position?

[MadHatter]

Connor/Anderson rotation....sure, but I think you keep Connor in as a MLB rotation for Beason.

Norwood addition will fit somewhere too. Maybe an Anderson/Norwood rotation. Looking forward to camp.

Conner will be the starting SLB...as well as Beason's back-up. This will be much like the Wharton situation...starting LG and LT back-up.

[MadHatter]

My worry is more about Davis than the SLB spot.

He is coming off a major knee injury. He was playing at an all-pro level last season....and I hope he can quickly get back to that this season. sometime it takes a season to come back from that type of injury.

With the Ravens getting Kindle, I know their concept is different, but they have beasts for LB's. I'm not so sure that it will even be Connor as the third LB anyway.

maybe I'm biased, but Hill, Tatupu and Currey ain't too bad either!

Seahawks definitely have one of the better ones..... btw I'm not going to lie, Seahawks had the best draft, I'm worried about playing them with a healthy Hassleback, Golden Tate, and TJ housmanasoiifhydis......

good draft hawk but im sorry to say....tatupu isnt what he used to be

[Hawk]

not too many non Hawk fans will appreciate the level of David Hawthorne either, who filled in for Tatupu last year. Hell of a player.

This draft has pumped alot of positivity back into Hawk fans, thats for sure. We were really scratching our heads this offseason with some of the moves, or lack of moves, being made. We have lots of competition this camp at key positions, lots of RB's and WR's....picking up Tate was huge. It will all come down to the OLine getting it together and staying healthy, adding Okung to replace...or take the place of Walter Jones will be the key.

good draft hawk but im sorry to say....tatupu isnt what he used to be

he's only been in the league 5 years...Pro Bowl the first 3 and injured for one...we'll see how he returns from injury!

[Brooklyn Bully]

We have two of the best...but Anderson/Connor are not ready to even be thought of in that category. They need a full year now that Diggs is gone. Next year though? This thread could have merit.
