Beason talks about Greg Hardy on his blog.

If Hardy takes the #90 how hard would it be to replace Peppers with Hardy on my jersey?

[DaCityKats]

remember a troll saying he was even the best dline at ole miss.i bet they wished he was there yesterday.

I don't want him wearing #90. I want him to make his own identity. If he wears #90, that will just make the Peppers comparisons even more. I can just hear those dumbass announcers now. "Sure does look like a number 90 that used to play here..." "Lil Pep..." etc. etc.

I still say get number 97.

[jasonluckydog]

The new 90 will help us forget the old 90

[grateflday]

Hardy is going to follow Beason's lead in ways that Peppers never did. I hope he wears 90, and makes it his own in the memories of Panther fans.

That would be great... In addition to having a great player, I can tape over the name on my 90 Jersey and write "Hardy" in its place

This year have proved what I have said for a long time. Two guys giving there all makes up for one that has talent but dose not. This whole Defense is playing with a chip on its shoulder and is player very well. I have been impressed with Hardy and every other DE on this team. The opposing QB has to worry about everyone not just one player.

[Lumps]

Hardy is my new man crush and fug no he shouldn't taint himself with the #90. He needs his own face and name.

[CatMan72]

Another great blog by Beason... he's right about how much different our offense will look with 89 and 28 on the field.

Like someone else said, Beason is quickly becoming my all-time favorite Panther for who he is both on and off the field.

[monstercat]

remember a troll saying he was even the best dline at ole miss.i bet they wished he was there yesterday.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. What an embarrassing loss for Ole Miss.

Oh yeah, I'm so glad that Beason is here. He will be great for Greg Hardy, as well as the future defensive draft picks.

I feel good about all the leadership on defense. I especially like this defensive coaching staff. I just had a gut feeling that they would have this group ready, and that they would be better in their 2nd year under Meeks. So far, so good.

It's always nice when it's not just us waxing poetic about a new player, having some confirmation by Beason really validates our feelings so far on this guy.

[rayzor]

Hardy is my new man crush and f**k no he shouldn't taint himself with the #90. He needs his own face and name.

but he needs a new number so people don't think he's a fat DT! lol

[CLTPanther]

sweet

[PantherFanOne]

Hardy is my new man crush and f**k no he shouldn't taint himself with the #90. He needs his own face and name.

I read/heard recently that Greg Hardy would like a number other than #76.

Does anyone happen to know the number he had in college?

[gmonet]

Now that Harris and Peppers are gone, Beason is the undisputed leader of the defense. He's got the desire that Peppers never seemed to, and won't feel shy about demanding it of others. I wonder if that's a contributing factor in how much more intense our defense has been than in years past.

Huzzah! The best point of his being the leader is that, unlike a certain DE, he is happy to step up, intelligent enough to put the hammer down when it'll be needed, and ain't takin' sheet off of no field troll enemy OL!

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent!"

Calvin Coolidge

Let's hope or pray the team is persistent and determined to win in 2010!
