Mr. Anderson

[N1kkadeemuz]

James Anderson finished the day with 15 combined tackles. That puts his season total to 145, four more than Jon Beason's franchise record.

little added motivation for beast to get his record back. competition never hurt.

Beason is a step above Anderson in play, presence and talent. The tackling record can also mean that the defense gave up a lot of 3rd downs.

[raleigh-panther]

Yep.

It's more important to me of how many of those tackles were at or behind the line of scrimmage, no gain or a loss then him just making a tackle +10 or +20 beyond the line of scrimmage.

Anderson is a serviceable outside LB and nothing more. I like him but to me that's all he is, same for Connor and Senn. He has more speed than those two but he is hardly an elite or above average linebacker.

What this means is that even without TD coming back we have two stud LBers. Anderson has played outstanding this year and it will be great having him when we get Beason back.

[Lumps]

lol Anderson is far superior to just being serviceable, which is why we resigned him. A older player like Edwards is a serviceable DT. A 28 year old LB that has bloomed under Beasons wing and just had almost 150 tackle season in between a poo dlin, poo secondary and next two two poo LBs for a period of time, is a bit more. For the whole season he has been out there. You'd think poeple would take notice on what we have when we have it as much as everyone likes to bitch about injuries. Anderson is a good starter. Beason is much better than Anderson but comparing them is dumb.

Anderson is waaaaaay better than Senn or Connor.

Anderson adds good depth at LB, no doubt about it. We haven't had much of it this year either.

[Udogg]

Serviceable? Average? Good Depth? This is going to be a long off season.................

I hate to agree with some, but Anderson is at his best when there are top tier LBs around him. He's had some great and fantastic games this year, but fundamentally he's also really struggled in other games. He's good and I'm glad we extended him, but he's no where near as good as some think he is.

Anderson deserves a new contract. He's a very good OLB and if we can get Beason back and another LB in there to play with them he'll be even better next year. DTs would be nice too so that our LBs didn't have to take on 300lb OL every play.

He's only just got a new contract...

7/29/2011: Signed a five-year, $22 million contract. The deal contains $8.5 million guaranteed, including a $7 million signing bonus and $1.5 million of Anderson's second-year salary.

?? that's a pretty good deal.

Don't ever give up on TD. I want him to do what is best for him, I would hate to see him in any other uniform. Seeing Kasey making all those kicks for another team yesterday just broke my heart!
