DTs Terrell McClain and Sione Fua on injured reserve

[CatMan72]

So who will our defensive tackles be? Neblett and Kearse?

We must be signing someone because I don't think we even have any more DT's on the roster.

Jason Shirly from the practice squad?

...and Jason Shirley is the guy who the Bengals tried to covert to an OL during hard knocks a few years back, LOL

[La Pantera]

there's a few former Panthers out there...Ra'shon Harris is on Houstons PS and Corvey Irvin is on the Jags. Not that they would be a huge help though!

Per Reed:

Panthers have signed former Chargers DT Ogemdi Nwagbuo, according to his agent Mike McCartney.

NOOOO!!!!!:willy_nilly:

What the fug do we do now?

[chknwing]

jeebus, 14 players on IR? wtf? Either this is a direct result of no OTA's or our strength and conditioning coaches suck a$$.

Ron had mentioned in his 4pm interview with MTC that Kearse and Nebblett have started the past two weeks, and that he finally felt that the DLine had some consistency at the position.

Fua and McClain had been at the crux of our defensive woes because they couldn't keep "gap integrity" - meaning they couldn't stop the run. Sure the LB core is banged up, but it doesn't mean that your LB core is bad when you give up so much on the run to begin with?

I'd have hoped they contracted mono instead, but this will do..

I'm more confident than ever in our DTs, Shirley and OG are probably better than fua and McClain its kinda sad when they go on injured reserve and I feel like we've upgraded at the position

Ahh

um, crap?

[hepcat]

Why rush back injured rookies in a 4-8 season? They played, they learned, they'll be ready and healthy next year.

Agree. I believe more playing time for Neblett along with more rotations on the D-line (Keiser, etc) have helped a lot. Add to that Jordan Senn solidifying our LB corps and we have some positive results in our run D.

anyone else feel like when hurney doesn't want somebody to take up a roster spot right now but wants to keep them available possibly for next year he IRs them? I know, I know, it's not happening, but...
