Terrell McClain...

What kind of DT is McClain? Isn't Fua a NT?

In today's NFL a succesful defense must have a good rotation on the defensive line. If Brown can play to his potential this year then I feel our Rotation on the line will be great. Brayton is old but still a solid run stopping DE and can occasionally get a sack, Hardy showed some promise last year and should continue to grow into a great DE. Lets not forget that Norwood will also be in the rotation this year and should be a pass rush specialist. I have a feeling Hardy will have a great season this year, Brown as well.

Defensive tackle is the only mystery on defense. Irvin has potential, Hayden is crap, Fua and McClain are unproven but have potential. Maybe we are keeping Brayton around because he can play DT? We have Neblett and Duhart who could end up earning a spot but honestly I would feel a whole lot better with us signing a vet.

I really think McClain and Fua will have great careers in Carolina. Ron Rivera is a very smart guy on defense and will get the most out of these guys.

Brayton is gone already.

With all the talk of the QBs, Armanti and the lack of CBs the glowing reports for him and Fua have kind of fallen under the radar. With the exception of QB, McClain and Fua are the most important guys on the team and I'm very excited to see what they can do.

im lovin that sig :D:D:D:D:D:D:conehead:

Damn when did this happen? I must of forgot or never saw the news.

[Bronn]

maybe SLJ/jsquared?

I lol'd pretty fierce...

[OneBadassCat]

If we bring in another DT I think it comes down to guys like Corey Irvin and Neblett stepping up. McClain sounds like he can contribute but he's a rookie and it would be too much to expect him to play every down. We need some major leaps from our young guys. I have faith in Rivera but we need to bring a veteran for rotation.

smitty would still be the best if we could get the ball to him

Indeed! Lol so are you suggesting we can possibly line him up as a NT?

DT Sione Fua, who looked very good at Fan Fest, said he's put on about 10 pounds since college and is up to 320.

no wonder he looked so big at practices, we could have a very good rotation in place this season

[Mvp2014]

Will be a pro bowler by next season....

:jc:

That is all.

Let's hope you are right

Man I really like what these two are doing, especially Fua. He is a nice kid, sit and talked with a few of us in the stands while signing some autographs. I don't think I've ever seen anyone so WIDE.

I have some shots of my Mother in law that will cause you to retract that statement.

My wife is a babe, in the event you are wondering, but her mom has her own gravitational pull.

LOL, you know they say you judge what the wife WILL look like by what the mother looks like right?

Keep her away from the cornbread and rice
