« Pugh, Neblett out against New Orleans | Main | First quarter blog: Saints 14, Panthers 7 »

Panthers missing 2 DL starters
NEW ORLEANS
The question of the day here is how long will Drew Brees play?
The question for the Panthers: Who will pressure Brees for however long he's in the game?
An already makeshift defensive line has two starters out today – tackle Andre Neblett (head) and end Charles Johnson (back). Ogmedi Nwagbuo will start for Neblett, while Antwan Applewhite will step in for Johnson.
Applewhite has been a great addition to the Panthers' sub-packages. It will be interesting to see how he holds up playing every down.
The rest of the Panthers' inactives: K Adi Kunalic, QB Jimmy Clausen, S Jordan Pugh, LB Omar Gaither and C Jeff Byers.
The Saints' inactives are WR Lance Moore, S Malcolm Jenkins, RB Mark Ingram, LB Jonathan Vilma, TE Tory Humphrey, TE John Gilmore and DE Jeff Charleston.

Steve Smith is nothing more than a classless D-Bag! I wish Sean Payton had no tact and gave him sh*t right back. I wish the Panthers nothing but failure by keeping an @sshat like this idiot as a role model for kids.
