DT Marcus Harrison failed physical

[Marguide]

This is actually kind of good news. No matter how much the honorable members of the Huddle tried to convince themselves otherwise yesterday, Harrison was not going to come in and save us at the DT position. This will force us to look at someone better on the FA market. Hopefully Tommie Harris.

Also, due to the No Guaranteed Salary until after Week 1, I would imagine we might put in a call to Pat Williams after sunday's game. Consider that on top of his suspension, it just seems to make too much sense. Of course sense isn't always Hurney's strongest suit.

The reason I am so disappointed isn't because MH was a world beater, but at least he is a body we could have put in rotation. Even with him healthy, it seemed we needed to sign another DT.

If we stay put until after week 1, it is going to force us to have DE's playing DT for some snaps. That is not a great recipe for success.

I think the front office really blew it on this one.

once again our GM Hurney shows what a idiot he is...

there are probably a few more guys who got cut because of failing the physical he can go find...

this brilliant GM decides to try to address our HUGE dt issue ONE WEEK before the season starts...

[pantherclaw]

what a fat turd!

we can't enter the season with a couple 3rd round rookies starting at DT. This is an emergency, IMO. We didn't defend the run well last year with a couple veterans in there.

no one we pick up is going to start week 1.

And stop hating on our young dt talent.

lol @ emergency. You do realize Carolina is rebuilding right? It aint gonna happen overnight. Be patient. Good things come to those who wait.

Am I the only person that laughed when I saw the thread title? I mean, some people in the other thread carried on like he was going to be a pro-bowler... :)

I was wondering what they were excited about. Like we were going to find a STARTER from somebodies else's scraps.

Lol

He did just do a pretty good job handling our HUGE OG issue one week before the season starts...

I predict a LB for DT trade in the next 24 hours....

I can see that happening, the question is with who?

Yes, it is an emergency. We have 3 DT's on our roster. 3.

So what happens if one goes down on the first snap? The other two play every snap for the rest of the game?

Keep in mind that those two rookies did not have the benefit of off season weight and conditioning training. This looks to me like a recipe for failure before you ever get started. That is not rebuilding, it is being foolish.

Christ, we don't even have a DT on the practice squad we can promote! How did the FO let us get into this big of a mess?

At least look at the bright side... Arizona isn't planning to run all over our defense like everyone else did during the preseason..

(They are going to go over top.. lol)

[PantherBrew]

I predict we go with what have until after week one.

we drafted two talanted tackles in the draft, and he went out and signed a good vet...long before one week before preseason. Stop the bs.

where's kemo when u need him

[Jackofalltrades]

This was the signing I was genuinely happiest about and am now the most bummed about.

[chknwing]

I dont understand the emergency, whats at risk? Carolina only wins 3 games instead of 4?
