And that doesn't count James Anderson, who last year established a franchise record for tackles while starting in all 16 games.

A six-year veteran, Anderson is a relatively anonymous defender to most fans, but he is well regarded in the league and in the Carolina locker room. And the former third-round choice (2006) has started all but one game the past two years and has totaled 275 tackles.

lol @ the posters who continue to refer to this guy as a dime a dozen linebacker. anderson got his last year and he will get his again this year.

Like Gantt said "someone has to get the tackle stats" I bet most of his tackles are after 15+ yard gains.

Anderson has 18 stuffs the past two seasons, one of the highest amounts in the league over that time span. Also tied with All-Pro linebacker Derrick Johnson for 2nd most passes defended, second to only Patrick Willis.

I used to be one of those guys that felt Anderson was nothing more than average. While I stick by saying he is a two down linebacker (at least compared to Kuechly, Beason, and a healthy-Davis), he has definitely been a valuable piece to our defense.

Anderson has been quietly getting the job done for several years.I still think we lack some talent on the front 7 and secondary but our defense should improve if Ron Edwards and Beason are healthy.My hopes are to be a top 15 defense next year.

Lots of average joes have racked up tackles....especially on bad defenses. He isn't a difference maker.

At least he made the tackles. 10 other guys didn't get the job done but he did. He's not a guy that can be the best player on a D but he can be a very valuable player on a good D.

He made the tackles bc he doesn't suck. Lots of the guys he shared the field with last year didn't belong on a field

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
