Here’s a riddle for you, “who is the only person able to stop Willie Parker?”

you happen to catch the Kennedy Center Honors w/Daltry & Townshend tonight? Pretty cool payback tribute by the NYFF/PD to The Who at the end.

Chris Hanburger, Don McCauley, Dre Bly, Julius Peppers, Willie Parker, Natrone Means, L.T., Kelvin Bryant, Jeff Hayes, Ronald Curry, William Fuller, and Charlie Justice.

What is missing? No quarterbacks of note, especially when compared with Roman Gabriel of NC State, Sonny Jurgensen of Duke, or even Norm Snead of Wake Forest.

Also, there is probably only one player who qualifies as an all time great, L.T., although Peppers might one day join him. Parker, Bly and Hanburger probably could be characterized as having Sam Perkins-type NFL careers, while most of the others were decent but not particularly distinguished NFL’ers.

Certainly, we can’t replace Hakeem but we do have a good crop of highly recruited recievers. My concern maybe the offensive line more so than the playmakers. I’m interested in what Jamal Womble may bring to the table along with a healthy Anthony Elzy.

We need help in the kicking game, but maybe a year will give Barth some leg strength?

Defensively, I’m excited although I agree some schemes need to be changed and more pressure to the QB seems to be the preferred change. We need a lock down corner on the opposite side of Burney.

Of note, told you guys state sucks without Russell Wilson. He is big mask on big mess.

FTR–UNC has produced the single greatest linebacker in NFL history, and a couple of the all-time great college running backs. I’m a soccer guy, but UNC does indeed have a football tradition, as well as a futbol tradition.
