Hang around Panthers guard Mike Wahle long enough and you'll usually learn something interesting. Today someone asked him about watching game film from last year on the Cowboys, who play Carolina here Saturday night.

"It's really tough to look into years past," Wahle said. "They have a little bit different scheme. Each year even though you might be running the same defense or offense, you're always into something a little different. So I don't really find it too helpful to go back, unless you want to look at a specific player."

The conversation rolled on, turning to the upcoming contest in Bank of America Stadium.

"Hopefully we'll have some Carolina fans in the stands," Wahle said with just a hint of a smile. "I know that when Dallas comes to town, they get a lot of fans here. So hopefully we can even it out."

Wahle also talked of a jammed finger suffered in last Sunday's game, but there's no sense mentioning which hand it belongs to because Cowboys defenders just might take aim at that one. He wasn't complaining; it's one of those injuries that O-linemen seem to end up with all the time, and if you do complain your linemates never let you forget it. -- Stan Olson

We should have grabbed him instead of Rivera. They were both available at the time. Oh well. If we did, we probably would not now have Bigg.

I'm sure it won't take the Dallas defenders too long to figure out which finger is jammed . . . .

You just take aim at both hands :D

He didn't want to play for Dallas. He's from NC IIRC so he wanted to play close to home. It's not like Dallas wasn't interested in him.

I know what you mean. How often does it have to be repeated. Yes the Cowboys were interested in Wahle but he made it clear he wanted to play in NC and didn't entertain offers from any other team.

I thought we re-hased that point years ago. Wahle wanted to play for Carolina. Didn't he give them a "hometown discount"?

Its just like the Steven Jackson BS. BP never wanted him; he thought Kevin Jones was better; and thoght that the other backs were all about as good. Jackson had a great year last year- but was injured much of this year- and he had some injury problems the year before. Kevin Jones the same. Seems like just about all the backs from that draft had injury problems.

It's one of those things that never seems to die around here. :banghead:
