those reports say its just a strain, and that he's done it before.

I'm not too worried.

7/29/2006 6:13:04 PM

a hamstring is a far cry from a broken leg.

7/29/2006 6:39:16 PM

^ no....


broken limbs can heal very fast depending on the break

anythign that has to do with a muscle or tendon can take a long time to fully recover

"SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Keyshawn Johnson knows firsthand how dangerous lofty preseason expectations can be, and he was quick to warn his new Carolina Panthers teammates all about them as they opened training camp Saturday. "If you get caught worrying about it, you aren't going anywhere," the veteran receiver said of the numerous publications and pundits that have predicted a Super Bowl win for Carolina. "I can remember when I was in Tampa, every single year we were picked to win it all and we were always at home at the end of the day. You don't win anything right now. I want to be picked on Super Bowl day." After going 11-5 last season, the Panthers flamed out in a 34-14 loss to Seattle in the NFC championship game when the Seahawks shut down All-Pro receiver Steve Smith with double- and triple-teams. The Panthers responded by signing Johnson during the offseason, retooled their offensive line and drafted running back DeAngelo Williams of Memphis in the first round. It's all made the Panthers the trendy pick in the NFC for the second consecutive season _ they made the cover of "Sports Illustrated" last year. "I can honestly say I never went on the field before a game last year and thought, 'Man, we're on the cover of "Sports Illustrated," I better play well,'" quarterback Jake Delhomme said. "We're expecting big things, and that's outstanding because you'd rather have it that way than having people say I hope they have a good year. But it doesn't mean anything." Delhomme will have options this year he didn't have last season, when Smith caught 103 passes and Ricky Proehl was the second-leading wide receiver with 25. "We hope (Johnson) can come in and be that big possession receiver and that big target in the red zone on third down, but more importantly that guy that can really block a linebacker and get a defensive end when he has to," Delhomme said. Smith had a short stint in the afternoon session, leaving practice with what general manager Marty Hurney said was likely a strained left hamstring. The addition of Johnson and the high expectations have probably made the Panthers as popular as they've been in their 12 seasons. They practiced Saturday morning in front of the largest first day of training camp crowd ever at Wofford College, and the 7,000 remaining regular season single-game tickets sold out in less than 15 minutes Saturday morning. But coach John Fox, pleased with what he saw on the first day, doesn't think his team will get distracted. "It's not our first barbecue when it comes to expectations," Fox said. "We were picked to win the Super Bowl before and came off a Super Bowl another year. We expect a lot of us, but we try to gauge most of our expectations from the inside out." To be sure, it's not all perfect for the Panthers, who have some things to figure out at training camp. DeShaun Foster, who took over as the No. 1 running back job late last season, has been injury-prone and missed the NFC title game with a broken right leg. Starting linebacker Will Witherspoon signed with St. Louis in the offseason, and the Panthers have a new-look offensive line that includes center Justin Hartwig, who missed the first day of camp as he recovers from hernia surgery. The Panthers, playing in the tough NFC South, also face a difficult schedule. Along with two games each against division foes Atlanta, Tampa Bay and New Orleans, Carolina has non-division games against Cincinnati, Dallas, Washington, Philadelphia, the New York Giants and Pittsburgh. "The NFC South is one of the better divisions and we also play the NFC East this year," Fox said. "Our schedule is not easy, but not too many of them are." But Fox also has what should be one of the better defensive lines in the NFL, with Julius Peppers, Mike Rucker, Kris Jenkins and free-agent acquisition Maake Kemoeatu. Jenkins, who has missed most of the past two seasons, limped off the field in the morning workout with back spasms. "I think we have a good football team and we have a lot of talent," Delhomme said. "But, do we stay healthy? Do we make the plays we anticipate we'll make? That remains to be seen, but I think we can." A veteran team, the Panthers were taking a businesslike approach on the first day of nearly a month of two-a-day practices. The focus wasn't on the expectations, but the season ahead. "I don't think anybody's paying attention to it," Johnson said. "I think some of the guys that lost to Seattle last year are saying I need to get back to that position again so I can win the game.""

actually that sounds like a far cry from a broken leg to me.......any broken bone is pretty much unpreventable, mucles and tendon/ligament injuries can be prevented to a degree with proper warm up, conditioning ect....the two types of injuries are vastly different.

7/30/2006 12:59:29 PM

if you've ever broken a bone and twisted your ankle you know

bones heal completely (unless you pull a barbaro or something crazy)

strains and sprains linger

7/30/2006 1:02:58 PM

i almost broke my ankle 1-1-05...well its like 8-1-06 and every now and then it still hurts

7/30/2006 1:04:31 PM

if you ALMOST broke your ankle, your probably DID sprain it

[Edited on July 30, 2006 at 1:05 PM. Reason : /.]

7/30/2006 1:05:25 PM

yes they do, but atleast with the hamstring tweek, you know he is working on coming back, if he would have broken his leg again, you know we wouldn't see him a all in the reg season, probably not the rest of the year.

7/30/2006 1:05:59 PM

^^thats kind of obvious, but yes, i did sprain it

How much can you expect to pay for tickets??? Closer to face value or closer to ebay end?? and no I dont want to wait till after the game has started to buy em

7/30/2006 2:03:26 PM

^Buy them after the game starts

7/30/2006 2:09:21 PM

^^ well obviously its gonna depend a lot on the game....

if say we start 7-1 and the 6-2 Tampa Bay Bucs come into town you might be looking at 2x face value...

but if we're 5-3 and playing the 2-6 NO Saints its' gonna be around face value.

All depends on the demand for the game... but if its not the NFC Championship or something you're not going to pay anything outrageous...

7/30/2006 3:21:04 PM

Kris Jenkins had back spasms first day of practice

He is back in practice today, good news

Smitty is still day to day...they said he might miss a couple preseason games as a precautionary measure but that it was too early to tell

"Inside-out approach could make D even better SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Their game is football, but if the Carolina Panthers are as good in 2006 as a lot of the prognosticators have suggested, one reason will be that in assembling the defense, general manager Marty Hurney and coach John Fox heeded an adage with baseball roots. You've got to be strong up the middle. "And, believe me, we are," veteran safety Mike Minter said. "It all starts in this league with stopping the run. And stopping the run starts not just up front, but with your tackles, and then your middle linebacker, then the safeties. If you look at the great run-stopping defenses, they're built from the inside out. There's like a sturdiness of construction, you know, and I think we've got it." Indeed, from front to back, they do. And that's why a Carolina outfit that statistically ranked No. 3 in the NFL in 2005 and has two top-10 finishes in the critical run defense category during Fox's four years as head coach might be even more dominant this time around. Make no mistake, the Panthers' defense has terrific edge performers, too, such as ends Julius Peppers and Mike Rucker, and feisty cornerbacks Chris Gamble and Ken Lucas, and the unit possesses plenty of quickness. But its strength principally lies with, well, its strength. In Minter, tackles Kris Jenkins and Maake Kemoeatu and middle linebacker Dan Morgan, Carolina pretty much has four solid cinder blocks. Jenkins, assuming he is healthy after two injury-ravaged seasons, and Kemoeatu, signed from the Baltimore Ravens as an unrestricted free agent, are more like industrial pilings, sunk dozens of feet into the earth to support all of the floors being added to the skyscraper. Cornerstones for the Panthers, the two ponderous tackles might be more like millstones for any opposing offensive linemen trying to budge them. One of the league's premier interior defenders before a shoulder injury in 2004 and a torn knee ligament last season transformed him from a run stopper to an idle doorstop, Jenkins is listed at 340 pounds, but is almost certainly more than that. Kemoeatu was 375 pounds when he reported to work this spring, but has melted all the way down to a semi-svelte 345. And the former Ravens standout, who began emerging two years ago as an inside force, is simply big all over. Not fat big, like some defensive tackles -- just big. In the early days of camp, the Carolina offensive linemen haven't been able to block Kemoeatu, who cost Hurney a lot of money, but seems well worth the investment. Good luck to the guards and centers on the Carolina schedule. "If Kris is healthy, and those two guys are lined up inside together, I don't know if teams can even try to run the ball," said Lucas. "It might even help in the passing game because, with those two tackles pushing everything inside and forcing double teams, it means 'Pep' and 'Ruck' have more room to work on the pass rush. And if they're bringing pressure, that helps the guys in the secondary. But man, you stand back there, like we do, and look inside at our tackles, and it's like they blot out everything, they're so big. They just eat up space and eat up bodies, you know?" Which is good news for Morgan, perhaps the best size-speed middle linebacker in the NFL, but a player who probably hasn't received as much publicity as he should, mostly because of his injury history. Morgan has gotten a ton of attention in camp because he arrived with a portable hyperbaric chamber, a device that simulates the pressure of negative sea level, which is said to promote blood flow to injuries, and thus, enhance healing. Morgan has taken some good-natured ribbing because the most famous other(-wordly) celebrity to embrace the therapeutic qualities of the hyperbaric chamber was singer Michael Jackson, who is said to have often slept in one. Morgan, who has missed an average of five games per season during his five-year career and prefers to be the king of popping ball carriers, not the King of Pop, swears by the thing. And he knows that if it helps keep him on the field, he's going to make a lot of tackles, because Jenkins and Kemoeatu are going to keep blockers off his body. "They occupy people and I get to run to the ball," Morgan said. "Not bad, huh?" The team's first-round draft choice in 2001, who got an early exposure to the game because his father served as the driver for Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino years ago, Morgan represents a mix of the old and new at the middle linebacker position. At 245 pounds, he is blessed with the kind of size that once defined a position where players were basically required to play in a box whose parameters stretched only from one tackle box to the other. But Morgan, who registered an amazing 25 tackles in the Panthers' loss to New England in Super Bowl XXXVIII, also has incredible speed and great diagnostic skills. Without blinking, he acknowledged there are few Mike linebackers in the NFL with his rare skill set. And his teammates agree. "He can go from sideline to sideline, dozens of times a game, and you never see the guy tired," Minter said. "With Dan, it's like, choose your poison. He can step up [into a gap] and bury you if you run at him. And if you run away from him, he'll chase you down. Hopefully, if we can live up to all the expectations this year, people will realize how good he really is." The same can be said for Minter, who serves not only as an elder but also as the conscience for the defense, it seems. After losing partner Marlon McCree in free agency this spring, it remains to be seen how Minter melds with Shaun Williams, the former New York Giants first rounder who has never quite played up to his draft status in terms of making game-altering plays. It never seems to matter to Minter, though, who is playing alongside him, or whether the coaches ask him to play the free safety or strong safety spot. Regardless of the situation, Minter, 32, and entering his 10th season, is just always there, a fixture for the Panthers. The former Nebraska star, a second-round choice in 1997, holds the franchise records for tackles (861), forced fumbles (16), fumble recoveries (nine), interception returns for touchdowns (four) and return yards on interceptions (418). Yet somehow Minter, a go-to guy when it comes to gaining a perspective and pulse on the Panthers, has never been selected for a Pro Bowl game. That slight could be easily assuaged this year, Minter allowed, smiling, with a Super Bowl berth. And given the strength of the Carolina defense up the middle, that's definitely a possibility. "If everyone stays healthy, I just don't see teams being able run the ball at us," Morgan said. "We're an awfully strong team inside. We could make it a long day for a lot of running [attacks]." "

hes always been one of those meh players to me...he doesnt really fuck up too much, but doesnt really do anything spectacular either

that and he drops the hammer on guys when he hits them

dont get my previous comments wrong... i like him on our team, and i think he makes our d better, but i definitely dont think he is probowl material

8/3/2006 3:29:08 PM

it's his football IQ that makes him so valuable. He's not the most athletic or flashy guy, but he makes everyone around him better.

8/3/2006 3:38:39 PM

it's not even that, it's his thunderous hits every once in a while and his consistently steady play that endears hit to fans

8/4/2006 5:44:37 AM

^but he knows where he should be at all times,and that puts him in good position to make big hits while rarely giving up a big play.
