McClain and Fua ..

[Zod]

Getting better every week. I am telling you all, we have our interior D-Line wrapped up for many years to come.

2011 will go down as possibly the best draft in Panthers history.

[Catalyst]

If Cam continues to develop and becomes what he's capable of becoming that pick alone makes it the best draft in Panthers history. But yeah, I've said all along I think all Fua and McClain need is time and we'll be fine at DT.

Also think Pilares will be good for us. And we haven't even seen Brandon Hogan yet. I have high hopes for him as well.

[JawnyBlaze]

Agreed

[Zod]

Technically Byron Bell was not drafted but he also impressed me yesterday. Kid could have a real future.

[pantherj]

I can see that Fua looks much better against the run than in the pre-season. I don't really have an opinion on McClain, but Rivera knows his stuff so maybe he'll develope into a great pass rusher.

[Gipetto]

we havn't given up a 100 yard rusher yet as well...

Yeah, I'm wondering if between him and Geoff Schwartz we might have our future right side of the OL set. I can't see them extending Otah with his injury history.

[pantherj]

I was watching Byron Bell's college plays on youtube before the game and I was cracking up. He basically mauled and dropped one smaller defender after another. After I saw that I didn't feel so bad going into the GB game, I mean that guy is violent and powerful.

Thomas Davis says Hi! Don't underestimate Hurney's ability to extend every one of the players that he drafts.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. I mean yea, he was out all year with what we think, while sitting on our couches watching games and in front of our computers, was an injury that shouldn't have kept him out all year but this game was lost to a concussion. League policy pretty much says if you have a concussion you're sitting out a game. I don't put this one on him. He's still head and shoulders above anyone but Gross and Kalil. I would understand not throwing the bank at him, but there's no way they can just let him go without making competitive offers to keep him.

Bell did do a solid job though, don't wanna take anything away from him.

And look how TD is playing...

[Panthro]

Bubble Trouble?

[Davidson Deac II]

we havn't given up a 100 yard rusher yet as well...

Might be true, but Starks ran all over us yesterday in the few rushes he attempted. 9 rushes for 85 yards is not good. We didn't stop their run, or even come close to stopping it. They just chose to pass.

TD showed work ethic to get back into playing shape. So far we haven't really seen that out of Otah.
