Last week was his suspension. He's good to go now. How quickly he can get up to speed is another story. He started 10 games at LG and was under our new OL Coach.

Have to think this is more about the lack of confidence in Su'a-Filo coming back and/or being worth a squat when he does. I sure hope it's not a sign of Brown missing extended time.

Sounds like we got another 6th rnd pick for Keyshawn. Good change of scenery for him. Maybe he plays for SB ring.

Hope our OL does better this week. They weren't ready for KC.

Hoping Mallet turns out better than Fitz.

I think the Panthers are the sort of offense the Texans' defense can get after. I see this as a pick em. The Texans were not a bad road team last year and I put that on the coaching.

‏@jjones9 Panthers LB Luke Kuechly is doubtful for Sunday's game against Texans

Maybe a sliver of hope for getting the running game going and the middle of the field being a bit more open for Mallett.

This is a big help. That's like taking Cushing away from us.

The ESPN experts like the Panthers, 10 votes to 4.

McClain and Solomon at the Chronicle are picking the Panthers to win.

Just the second game of the year but a win would bring some hope for a good year. A loss and the season will seem like it's becoming one of those years....
