AF89 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 If they don't make a big move in the next 2 months then thier just phoning the season in. Look for them to go after a TE or a WR to help out thier young QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcsfan55 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 thanks mate just wondering because that is really surprising that they released Koematu or however you spell it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnfalcon21 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 thanks mate just wondering because that is really surprising that they released Koematu or however you spell it....I know. It doesnt make sense. Not that i'm upset but to release to DT's ( one starter and one that gets quite a bit of time) and let your pro bowl caliber DE walk?.....amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-TowN.- Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Lewis has 22 career sacks, looks like a decent rotation guy for sure. Idk though if the panties cut ya then you aren't that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Maybe I am way out in left field, but I think that the Panthers are telling John Fox to "Shake Things Up" and hope for the best. Either that, or they plan on splashing for Vick! OUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugger8 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Maybe dumping contracts, since it's an uncapped year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 well expect a sweep against them next year. no peppers and no kemo? they have absolutely NO playmakers on their dline. i don't care how good their secondary and backers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falken Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Maybe Steve Smith has convinced the Panther (un)organization he can play all 11 positions on both sides of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bubba Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Getting new blood in there. Kemo screwed his achilles up last year. The kind of injury that has a chance to linger. Lewis was a constant last season in terms of starting but his effectiveness wasn't that good. They're doing now what they should've did last season, evaluating the Dline and putting new pieces in.I'm not worried. Fox may not be the best HC when it comes to offense, but the man is great when it comes to defense and finding talent for the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppers had a broken hand and was used as a situational player, Kemo was on IR, the mighty Lewis and Kemo's multitude of replacements were getting ran all over. And Delhomme was starting. So it can't be any worse than the Dline the Falcons faced last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuccah Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I wouldn't mind going after Lewis. He would be solid in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCFalconfan Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hello VickI'd be surprised by that move if it happened. First of all the Panthers fan bas is 80% wine and cheese granny types who wouldn't stand for it and would protest by shopping at Belks instead of going to the Panthers games and then leaving at half time. Secondly, word is that Richardson didn't have many plans to break the bank this offseason. We'll see I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 LOL! They paid Delhomme all of that cash just to release him. I guess they are willing to roll with Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 rumor is alot of small market teams could be using the uncapped year, which also has no cap floor, to purge their rosters and save money.1 - they would make more money this year and it the lockout year2 - they would get a high draft pick and not have to shell out the big bucks anymorenow is the best time ever to re-build!

jungleking Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Kemoeatu is a 350 pound man with a surgically repaired Achilles. He just turned 31 as well, so do any of you actually believe that Achilles is going to stay healthy for very long? He could be out of the NFL now.Damione was a nice rotational guy, but his cap hit would have been something like 9 million this year and next year would have been worse. We owe him too much money.Apparently you haven't kept up with what the Panthers have been doing for the last year. We are now DEEP at defensive tackle. Tank Tyler, Louis Leonard, Corvey Irvin, Nick Hayden, and there's a chance Hollis Thomas comes back. Then there are free agents and a deep year at the position. We'll be fine on the defensive interior.Defensive end is, potentially, another story. Peppers is gone, and Tyler Brayton is really a rotational guy that does a good job against the run. It's really up to Charles Johnson and Everette Brown to step up the pass rush. Both of them are young, have some experience, and look pretty good in limited time. I wouldn't be surprised if our defensive line is exactly what it was last year, especially if Brown and Johnson play at the same time and Brayton is used more sparingly. The pass rush will come from more than one guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
