T. Taylor (DT) on the Panthers practice squad

[Dtronic]

I think we should sign him to the 53 man roster. I think he has the physical attributes, just the mental part is not right. Parcells and Sporano can straighten him out.

Solai is already injured after not playing much this year.

We are going to play 4-3 now so we need another DT. Also did you see us with 2 down linemen formations the last two games?

When did anyone ever say we were going to switch to the 4-3? Were not going to change our entire scheme because of 1 injury...

We already have. Are you watching the games?


We have been using 4-3 and 3-4 since three games ago when Ferg was injured. We continued it when Solai was injured.

If Solai or Ferg were in there we would play 3-4.
Otherwise we played 4-3.

We have also played with only two DT/DE with their hands in the dirt multiple times.

I've watched all, and been at 1... that's multiple d. I though you meant we were fully converting.

 

[Oraclepz]

is that the guy form michigan?

is that the guy form michigan?

Yeah

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

He's only 6'0" so he's pretty short and stubby

 

[Pinkboy]

Carolina has had 3 DT's go on IR this year. One would think if this guy was good he would be on the 53 man roster with 3 DT's out for the year.

Yeah and 6 feet tall doesn't fit the size prerequisites Parcells likes at that position.

 

[ZILLA]

nose tackle isnt supposed to be tall... he needs to get low and get leverage against the double team...

 

[Pinkboy]

But 6'0 is very short.. Parcells himself has come out and said how he doesn't like his NT's to be too short (read the article that was posted here from his dallas days when he was hired by Wayne).

He had Tim Goad in NE and he was 6'3. Ratliff is 6'4.. Ferguson with the Jets and Miami is 6'3

And when Parcells was in New England he was very interested in acquiring Ted Washington, who is 6'5"
