I agree with most of you. We've got some kids on the bench that I would love to see play and you guys have mentioned all three.
We're not going to the SB this year, so we might as well let these kids learn. We'll be far better off next season and have a very young but promising and improving defense.
Thank keith for his efforts, send him home and make room on the roster for Virgil Green. |

I said the day Keith Brooking was signed that if he actually made the roster and played meaningful snaps our defense would be screwed. The guy was absolutely TERRIBLE with the Cowboys over the past 2 years. Like i mean Nate Jones bad. I immediately knew we were in trouble when he was on the field early and often vs the Texans. The guy is slower than slow.
Danny Trevathan deserves playing time over that bum any day. One of the main criticisms Panthers fans had about Fox was that he would play over the hill veterans over younger more talented players. It looks like he is starting up that very annoying habit again. Brooking shouldn't have even made the roster, let alone getting meaningful playing time.

1. Joe Mays isn't exactly lighting it up out there.
2. Brooking may not be very athletic anymore. However, his average athletic skills are offset by his ability to ensure everyone is lined up properly. That is a key job of the MLB ( which he will probably play fot Mays' suspension). That is an underrated and overlooked part of the job.
3. While he is past his prime he is not nearly as bad as people in this forum make him out to be. As usual this forum is prone to hyperbole.

Who exactly should we put out there over Brooking? Brooking is out there as a run stopping Linebacker. Is Danny Trevathan or Woodyard better in that role? Nope, they're both finesse subpackage players. I doubt Trevathan is even ready to play major minutes anyway. Steven Johnson? Haha good one. Using Nate Irving against the Texans would have been a disaster I can promise you. The guy makes a lot of poor decisions and tends to pursue the wrong way, the Texans would have eaten him up so badly. It's too bad Mario Haggan went to the Rams, I would rather have him out there than Brooking.
When DJ gets back Brooking will probably fall out of the rotation. But until then, he's going to play.

And look how great their team has been since then. Most of the players those Panthers fans were calling to get playing time ended up being busts. The real issue with those Panthers teams is that they didn't have much talent, not that the talent was rotting on the bench because of Fox's preferences.

It is easy for fans to say "put the young guy in", but it just doesn't work that way. When a player can't even lineup without Veterans telling him where to go, the Coaches aren't going to put the young guy in. I have no way of knowing this is the case, but Brooking will know how to lineup and which gaps to fill in the run game.
I am with all of you - it seemed Brooking dissected plays pretty well on Sunday but then due to his age/limited physical ability, he didn't make the play. I thought our Coaches showed last year that they are willing to put young guys in ahead of Veterans that aren't cutting it (Von Miller, Rahim Moore, Chris Harris and Orlando Franklin all saw a lot of playing time), but clearly our backups aren't earning it this year.

Raiders fan here. Agree for the most part. I think the suspension came because they just fined him for the same thing the week before. Had it happened weeks later I don't think the suspension would have come into play.
Mundy still might get severe punishment since he actually had two helmet to helmet hits last week. The big one on DHB and the other one on Meyers our TE that knocked him out of the game. |

if mundy gets suspended then i wont argue mays' suspension, mundy should get 5, he has a well known history of dirty cheap shots. mays really doesnt, he's had a couple flags but his hits are clean. |

I guess I was wrong. I miss the days where you could lead with the helmet. I guess I enjoy big hits.

Im really hoping Nate Irving passes his concussion tests today or tomorrow. Im interested to see if he can be the player that the front office drafted him to be. Plus, anything to avoid Keith Brooking more playing time will be fine with me.

Wouldn't surprise me if Mikey Mohammed or Steven Johnson end up getting game time Sunday. Brooking just isn't cut out to play MLB imo. Then again one of Fox's biggest weaknesses is that the most experienced player nearly always plays.

Mike Mohamed has only just signed to the PS; he isn't eligible to play Sunday.
