I don't know what the hell happened with Freeman. I really thought he played better the times he was in the game as compared to Sims. I think he got in Vermeils doghouse and was never able to get out. I watched him last night in a NFLE game. He was playing for the Rhein Fire IIRC. He was tearing it up. Guess the Panthers thought he needed playing time and to maybe send a message that this is his last shot with them. Freemans got talent to play in the NFL. And if he wanted to be he'd probably develope into a John Browning type player. Nothing flashy but solid. He's gotta be a lazy ass and a malcontent or something. I really don't know much about Junior and any off field issues related to him. But when Gunther stuck him in games last fall I thought he played damn well. He had a few highlight tackles for losses in the 2nd Denver game and a few plays against Oakland the 2nd time around as well. Didn't he screw up his hammy or something like that early in the season? I thought he needed to be on the field more and get more PT. The guy is strong and can bury centers with his strength. And he's quick for a guy his size. I think he ends up starting this fall.
