Am I The Only One Who Feels This Way About This Defensive Player

[panthers34]

wasnt he a 4th or 5th rounder? lets not send him to the hall of fame just yet

Tom brady was a 6 rounder hes going to the hall of fame

I like Hogan, my cousin plays defensive back at WVU and played with Hogan, Sands, Tandy and all the other guys. He said Hogan is a really good player and a smart player.

He said what many of other people have said, if it wasn't for Hogan's ACL injury and his somewhat sketchy character issues he would have been a second to a third round pick.

I am excited to see what Hogan brings to our defense this coming season.

Capt is a beast on ST but I agree his role needs to be limited in the CB position

He and Butler are top Nickel corners in my opinion.

I may be wrong or it may be a little bit of hyperbole, but Captain was statistically the worst CB in the NFL last year, including many nickel CB's. He's proven alright, to be a huge liability.

He wasn't even close to the worst statistical CB in the league last year.

But still, we need better

Munnerlyn is not a bad corner, but he isn't athletic enough to make up for his very small 5-8, 186 lb frame like Janoris Jenkins. Munnerlyn is a pretty good nickel corner but he just won't be able match up with the big wide outs in the league.

By the way, Munnerlyn was pretty bad.

Football Outsiders has a nice little write up on the bottom ten corners in the league this past year.

I like him as much if not more than any rookie corner that we have.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

You mean the only rookie corner we have lol.

Apparently Norman has started to make strides but I don't think he will see the field very much if at all this year.

In my opinion, we keep Gamble, Hogan, Butler, Munnerlyn, and Norman.

- Gamble starts

- Hogan starts

- Butler rotates in and out with Hogan

- Munnerlyn is our nickel corner.

- Norman sees limited action on defense, plays a lot of special teams, maybe a possible gunner as he is a pretty good tackler.

I'm probably the only one that's not sold on Hogan.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'm probably the only one that's not sold on Hogan.

No one is 100% on him because hasn't seen the field that much, but I am hopeful for him because if he doesn't pan out then are secondary could once again be a point of concern.

I guess that Rivera really likes him or have a lot of confidence in Cap or the overall defense since we didn't sign a FA CB or draft a CB in a higher round. I really wanted us to get Asante...

There is no way he has a lot of confidence in Cap after last year. Captain wasn't reliable in anything but nickel coverage last year.

Rivera must have a lot of stock in Hogan.
