Todays athletes are bigger, faster and stronger than ever before. They move faster at a higher weight than what they used to 30 years ago. Thsi creates quite a big force on joints and tendons and they might snap just like what happened here. |

Hate it for him, love it for having to cover him and eliminating one of Newton's big targets.

Can't remember his name but he was a big and fast UDFA I think. Kinda reminded me of Natrone Means. |

Hate the team, but dont wish injury on people, even Cam Newton.
I'd like to see one of our LB's blindside him into next year, but I dont wish injury. |

Re: Sort of Saints Related: Panthers' Benjamin out for the season
I actually think this guy is overhyped; he was invisible against us last year.
That said, he is a big target for them, and losing him brings their win total down 1-2 games easily. Ginn or Cotchery as a starter? Great news for us. |
