Steve Wilks the new secondary coach for Panthers

[Mr. Scot]

6'8" is getting up there...nice 70's comparison....

Wondered who else would get the reference :lol:

I wonder if our equipment staff will build another version of Wilks' creation, "The Lurch", for the secondary to train with?

I bet Captain could use some reps with this thing....

lol forget captain, the tip of his outstretched fingers probably only reach the bottom of the R

I totally remembered him and his height on the Eagles, but I was just a kid back then...Checked his history and I wasn't blown away by his overall stats, but he had some great years...funny that all I could find for his height and weight was 6'8" 225lbs. That's tall, but that's a bean-pole. Maybe college senior weight?

We should celebrate this hiring by trying to sign Michael Griffin away from the Titans to replace 23.

preferably trade up and take claireborne or stand pat and take kirkpatrick, would love to sign griffing, but if we can't Id like to see Adrian Wilson Safety from Arizona beside godfrey. He's due mil next year. so he will most likely get the ax. him and godfrey deep would be a great ballhawking secondary. behind gamble and kirkpatrick/claireborne

Wilks replaced Meeks for you guys. According to Acee, Meeks may be taking over for Wilks in San Diego.

That's amusing.

On a related note, saw where Detroit gave extensions to their assistants, including our old buddy Danny Crossman.
