Witherspoon to start

That should be interesting.

 

at MLB? Dude's our smallest linebacker. at what point does this make any sense?

 

His weight is listed the same as Morgans on Panthers.com

I checked b/c, you know, I thought the same.

 

He played MLB in college (heard it on Primetime). I am not as concerned about his smaller size. His speed will counter that. Although losing Buckner for 4 weeks in addition to losing Morgan makes me wonder if teams won't just pound the ball in beween the guards and center and negate the speed

 

58 Fields, Mark LB 6-2 244 29 8 Washington State
52 Allen, Brian LB 6-0 232 24 2 Florida State
53 Navies, Hannibal LB 6-2 240 25 4 Colorado
56 Kyle, Jason LB 6-3 242 30 8 Arizona State
50 Jackson, Brad LB 6-0 230 27 4 Cincinnati
55 Morgan, Dan LB 6-2 233 23 2 Miami (FL)
57 Towns, Lester LB 6-1 252 25 3 Washington
54 Witherspoon, Will LB 6-1 231 22 R Georgia

 

Yeah, Small MLB's have never worked out well for us



Seriously though, I was looking at Meat's list and noticed we've got every number represented from 50-59 with the exception of 51. Does being in the Hall of Honor retire your number as well, or is it just coincidence noone's out there wearing 51?

 

No 59 either...guess no one wants to be Jack Ham?

 

Witherspoon will be fine there, as he is a versitile player who seems to have been a very solid pick ATP.

What does this say for Towns though. Confirms that he isn't highly regarded by this coaching staff which I'm sure everyone already knew.

The more experience for the younger guys, the better IMO. Lets play all the young guys and get them experience for next season and beyond.

 

Towns is hurt, and may be placed on IR.

 

think it does say something about witherspoon and b. allen. think burton will be okay though a dropoff. biggest problem is that we have no one to rotate in to help keep them fresh. an injury to burton or jenkins will be a killer now.
