Back from Iraq

[xerxes]

Man it is good to be home.Spent the last 14 months in hell,home now and need updates on my boyz.Heard Pep signed and we have another possible pass rusher that we drafted.Any and all info would be awesome.

Don't know how much you've been able to catch up on, but basically:

Concerns:

With Ken Lucas gone can Marshal step up into the starting role? And can our 2nd rounder Martin fill the nickle spot?

Starting 5 for the offensive line should be just beastly, but where's the depth?

This is a huge one for me personally. Who is Maake's backup? We don't have another legit run-stuffing DT on the roster, and if he goes down, will it be the Giants game all over again?

How much effort is Peppers going to put in? The money says a lot, but you just never know...

Was the Cardinals game just a fluke for Jake or an indication his career is on the decline?

Impending Awesome:

Double trouble is going to run up and down the field.

Jarrett will hopefully emerge as a legit 3rd option. Smith will keep being Smith, and Moose doesn't look like he's slowing down.

Our pass rush has the potential to be great this year with Peppers, the developing Johnson, and the rookie Brown.

Ron Meeks' defense should hopefully avoid floundering down the stretch.

Our schedule is brutal, but the NFC South is always up for grabs.

Welcome back to the states. I hope that helped somewhat.

Good work, xerxes

Nice short version Xerxes.

And imagine, it only took about one line to condense a million peppers posts.

Rep for you!

Welcome home to the ones that are back and good luck to the ones that aren't yet.

If I run into you at a game, remind me to buy you a beer (or other beverage of choice). Least I can do to say thanks.

Panthers' update:

Be excited. Things are going well there.
