Frank Alexander/Thomas Keiser > Greg Hardy

[Keep Pounding]

I rather start Keiser before Alexander....

[carolina-chuck]

Pretty sure Alexander got his sack against the same OT that CJ got his against #71 Johnathan Martin. That's still not saying much though Martin has had a horrible game.

Martin is a pretty good OT and will be one in the future. It just happens that hes a ROOK.

But Alexander got that sack thanks to Keiser creating the pressure.

Did Hardy get anything against their offensive line?

Yes... Two offsides penalties. And I've been telling everyone how Hardy would show out this year... Smh...

I should've added the caveat, 'if he is focused.'

It's still preseason so patience is key and playing DE isn't all about sacks or pressures, but it surely helps. Between his tweets and lack of focus at times on the field, he just doesn't seem fully engaged. I'm still hoping he gets it together quickly though.

The over reaction in this thread is awesome....one game does not make you a Hof'er....

[nagai]

I really don't think that Hardy played as bad as you guys make it out. He penetrated the line nicely a few times.

LOL talk about an overreaction, nobody said he was a HOF. Just better than a sub-par DE in Hardy.

I like Hardy and I think he's a good player. But I think he has gotten this feeling that he has arrived and already owns that RDE position. He has yet to show anything while Keiser and Alexander both consistently display a high motor throughout the game, and get to the QB.

Keep saying it's preseason or that their line was horrible, but there's no excuse for not getting to another teams QB if allowed too even if you already do have a position solidified on the team. That sure didn't slow down CJ tonight.

In Hardy's defense he was going up against Jake Long all night.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Seeing Highlights and the tail end of the game, I'm being a bit biased towards Alexander. He was getting hurries and pressure, albeit against 3rd stringers..

They both at this point scream rotational guys only.

I was going to ask this. Long was playing right? If this is true, people here are being away too rough.

[panther4life]

Zod should have some good photos of Alexanders first sack I believe. Saw from the stands he was in perfect position to get some good shots of it, if in fact he was medai # 16(sure looked like him).

[PantherPhann89]

I like the motors of Keiser and Alexander. I hope that we get to see more of them at DE opposite CJ in both of the next preseason games.

[KendrickPanther]

Jake Long is a very very talented LT.

[savage]

i think we should start keiser. the guy does not quit.

[Khyber53]

Hardy has the size, the pedigree. He just seems to be kind of invisible out there. Keiser and Applewhite look much better.
