Player to watch on defense isn't Kuechly necessarily, but Thomas Davis

[Sam Mills Fan]

If and when we beat the 49ers on Sunday, the key will probably be Thomas Davis. Think back through this season and his career. Is there anyone that can be counted on more reliably in important games than TD? Had 17 tackles against the Patriots, 14 tackles against the Saints in Charlotte, had the key forced fumble on Kendall Hunter in Round 1 vs. the Niners, was probably the only Panther that played well in the first half of the Saints game in the Superdome. He even led the team in tackles against Arizona in 2008.

 

No one is more reliably great on defense in big games than Thomas Davis. He will come to play and I predict a big TD play late in the 4th quarter wins us the game.

When we drafted TD, you got the impression he was brought in to be the "spy" when we played the Vick led Falcons.  TD is a mobile QB specialist.  He will be the difference in this game!

23-7 us. All homerism aside. At home, listening to all this Cam will crumble and ish. I expect us to come out jacked up and the crowd to be electric for an early game.

I agree.  Keek stops up the middle (with Star's help) but TD destroys screens and outside runs.  Dude is so so fast for having three knee surgeries, he's like a damn robot.

YEah in the GB game I think it was #55 LB who was the guy chasing Kaepernick when he broke free to the left.

 

Dude looked slow as hell compared to 58. But Kuechly is a sprinter too

i predict a lot of big performances on defense.

Great point. I can't remember a single mobile quarterback having much success on the ground when TD is on the field. Wilson had under 10, Kaepernick had maybe 15. I think Geno Smith actually had the most this year with 40 yards rushing.

It just mind boggling that a guy who went through three knee surgeries is playing well enough to not only be a starter on a playoff caliber team, but also a noticable difference maker on a top tier squad.

My mind is boggled.

Davis is just as important as Luke IMO.

I was thinking this yesterday. TD will be the untrendy LBer in this game. It's robbery, but it its true. im thinking he may be game MVP.

won't get any argument from me

 

thomas davis is as important as anyone else on that defense.
