"He's ready to roll," coach John Fox said. "Obviously he's excited to be back and excited that we're 2-0." The Panthers insist they have gotten over the hard feelings created by Smith's sucker punch in camp. Smith slugged Lucas during a break in practice Aug. 1 while Lucas was on one knee with his helmet off. The next day the Panthers suspended their three-time Pro Bowl selection without pay for the first two regular-season games. Smith apologized to the team a day after that, and Lucas said he accepted his apology.

On Sunday, the Panthers scored the game's final 17 points to knock off Chicago 20-17 for their first 2-0 start in five years. The Panthers have until Wednesday to clear a roster spot for Smith, who has been on the reserve-suspended list. Carolina visits 0-2 Minnesota next Sunday.

StillerPaul Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think they are a pretty solid team. They run the ball well and stop the run well on D. That should always keep them within reach. From there it's up to Delhomme to make the necessary throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
