The Will will rarely blitz, and will cover many intermediate and short routes. The Mike Linebacker is primarily charged with playing zone coverage in the middle of the field, however, Mike also blitzes more often than any other LB, and is integral in a zone blitz. The Sam is charged with covering any runs towards the outside of his sector, and will often cover short routes in the flat; Sam will blitz on and off during the game depending the flow of action. The Defensive Coordinator will typically mix up the lineup of LB's in order to confuse the origin of a blitz, as well as the coverage being played.

TD is one of my favorite Panthers for reasons not limited to just on the field production, but I'll have to go with Beason on this one.

I'm tired of guys posting Kuechly's Combine 40 times, as if to say he's faster than TD, or Beason for that matter.

Please cut it out!

We do have 4 outstanding LB's, and I'm glad to have all of them as a Panther.

Here's to a healthy LB core!

What a great problem to have.

Guys, it is not blasphemy to be excited about our newest LB. If he wasn't a great prospect, the Panthers wouldn't have taken him at 9.

That doesn't take anything away from Beason or any other player. Hopefully, RR will put the best players on the field, and at the position most likely to lead to a more effective defense.

Kuechly DID post the fastest 40 out of the group...that is a FACT.

Does not mean anyone is taking anything away from the guts we have. Between Bwason and TD, statistics say that one will not return to form this season. My money is on TD.

Rivera needs stud LB play and we now have enough LB's to play his system.

True statements can be bothersome for one's bias huh? The fact is that Keuchly is now our largest, fastest, and possibly, most athletic LB. I love our LB's just as much as everyone else and I don't want to pick a favorite either, they are all studs, and I would like for them all to remain healthy and be able to retire panthers.

      Well, I'll be damned. Good call bro. 75 yards up the creek from the house. A big chunk of the creek bank let go and slid off into the creek. It looked like maybe 6-8 feet of dirt on top of bedrock and once saturated it basically slid off of the bedrock like a playground slide. I'll post up pics when I can upload.

      Andy Dalton QB School week 3

      Look I get you are wait and see on Canales and that's perfectly fine but comparing him to Rhule is off base brother. And I do not see significant similarities to the Arizona win from 2021. They honestly are strikingly different. All you have to do is dig into the numbers. Our starting QB that game was PJ Walker who had 167 passing yards on 29 attempts with no touchdowns and one INT. Cam attempted 4 passes for 8 yards. Not one single passing touchdown in that blowout win. By comparison we had 166 rushing yards and one of those touchdowns was Cam's "I'm back!!!" run for a score. Looking at that game obviously it was a mirage and not sustainable because it is a passing league. If that game compares to any other I would say it would be the Lions win with Wilks. Now look at the Raiders win. 319 passing yards 3 passing touchdowns 114 rushing yards from Chuba 1 rushing touchdown from Miles Sanders. That's a balanced offense. That's what we've been asking for going on years now. But I will agree with you they absolutely do need to prove it wasn't a one off and build from that win. I'd love to see it. We'll just have to wait and find out.
