    Are You Ready For Some Football!!!!

    The season is drawing near, camp is winding down. What are your thoughts on the upcoming season? I feel we have some real good depth, above average speed and some real good skill players. I am looking for a great year from our panthers. Any thoughts on opening day lineup/depthchart? Has anyone been following them or seen any practices this summer? I can't wait pardon me if I am babbling here.

    Bable all you want! There are high expectations this year for the Panthers. It should be a fun year. I can see the Panthers going 9-2 with losses to Iowa and on the road at Western Kentucky. The key issues of concern in my book are the D-ends and outside linebackers. For the first time in a long time the Panthers are missing a dominant pass-rushing sack machine defensive end. If the guys can step up and hold the edge while putting some pressure on the QB, look for a great season for the Cats.

    The offensive line will be solid so look for another 1000+ yard season for Freeney and another 800+ from Horne. Then watch out for the Sanders and WRs/TE's to drop it over the top for big pass plays.

    We have heard about optimism from the caoches, but they have also kept after the guys during camp. Intensity is at an all-time high during practices.

      Outside guys

      Haven't heard much this summer of the outside guys. I thought that was all shored up with the additions of Cyrus Garrett, Everette Pedescleaux and moving Herman to the OLB position. With Brett Koebcke and Darin Heideman on the inside if we can just hold contain should be more than fine against the run. I am sure the coaching staff will come up with creative blitz's to get pressure on the QB. Question? how is the depth at the ILB position? I know there are two studs starting but it is a long season. I am really really excited about this upcoming season.

        Hello I was just checking out your board looks great. I lived in Waterloo back in the days of coach Allen. Did a lot of screaming in the dome. Rumor has it that the dome has been quiet the past few years???? The saying out here is "If you still have a voice on Sunday you did'nt scream loud enough on Saturday".

        Looks like it may be a GREAT year for UNI football. I am in Griz land now but still follow the panthers as best I can. This board will hopefully keep me a little more up to speed. Good luck to the Panthers and get that Dome noise back up to the sceaming level it was when I was back there.
