  1. So, Colin Jones played 50% of the defensive snaps as a safety, but Harper and DeCoud both played 100% of defensive snaps…  Were they running formations with 3 safeties?

  3. trickydickdillon Going back to last season, the Panthers have played “nickle” (subbing a S for the 3rd LB) over 50% of the time. That was why I suggested signing Bengals FA S/OLB Taylor Mays (6’3 1/4″, 230, 4,42-40, 1.45-10) this past off-season (and maybe again in 2015).

  5. @Big_Eaters_Club BlackBlueReview Norman is starting because they have no one better this year (he’s like the best looking girl at a pig party), they need 2 new starting CB’s for next year.
