Joe Person: "Ron Edwards Will Be Cut"

[jtm]

You are correct on only 1 of of the 3 assertions that you made:

1. Edwards has been injured a lot....check

2. Edwards in not very good....wrong. Edwards played very well when he was in there

3. Dwan kept the intertion of the line together.....wrong. Dwan was good against the pass....but was a BIG liability against the run

I guess we can agree to disagree. I trout Dwan was good against the run and Ron seemed to be no better than Kearse and barely better than Fua. People here slam Fua, but he was actually pretty decent later in the year. Average DTs like Ron are a dime a dozen and I'm not losing sleep over an old, injury prone, average DT getting cut. That's my point. Dwan is far more important to our D than Ron.

Ron is that big fat guy type of space eater. He is good at what he does. And, Kease is not quite as good as Ron was.

But, he is not a Major piece for this defense and I won't lose too much sleep if he is cut.

I do agree with you that Dwan should be kept.

Ron's had 14 tackles in two seasons at Carolina compared to Dwans 52 tackles in one year. Someone please tell me why we should be concerned about him being cut.

I don't disagree, but big fat space eaters that don't tackle are a dime a dozen. I thought Ron was a weakness on our D.
