The DT we need!

by onlypantherfanintown on Aug 20, 2009 5:45 PM EDT

No offense to Bigdavis and Marlon Favorite, but we can't have a rookie playing DT for us. He will get smashed up by 1st string lineman. He has good potential and should be on the field every game for at least a quarter. Also i believe he has what it takes to become a starter...next year. We need a big guy who can clog up the line and get double teamed every play.That guy is Kenderick Allen! Hes a solid vet and has the size we need to be able to stop the run. Marlon Favorite will make an excelent sub. Everyone is waiting for Carolina to make a trade or sign a free agent. If wee don't get a good trade option, i believe Allen is the answer.

Injury concerns

I mean we can buy him low but his last season was ‘06. That doesn’t show well with me.

Errr...who?

Got any info on this guy? Link to a profile maybe. Besides being big what else makes him the answer? I’m not saying he isn’t the answer just want some info on him

there is not that much on him

but it he moves his weight around well and doesn’t get hurt he can be used to clog the middle, he hasn’t played in a while but he did play with the vikings and the giants which always have a great d-line.

No offense taken.

I just thought the guy played well, and wanted to share the observations I’d made with the board.

As I’d said, Favorite wasn’t in vs their starters.

Whether it’s Allen or somebody else, the Panthers will probably wait for cuts from another roster, then pick that guy up.

I'm thinking they throw a draft pick at a team

for a player on the bubble rather than compete for the guy with other teams. Of course the agent for any DT that gets cut should have the Panthers number on speed dial given the need is well known.
