a trenches for last line of defense trade. Between two division contenders to boot.

I think Carolina cleaned up on this trade.

Phillips has been playing lights out so far in his career.....................When he can stay on the field. Both players need to toughen it up. A couple of sissy's. lol

Advantage Carolina.

Hanson can stand up an offensive line but doesn't seem to get involved in too many tackles or pass attempts. Plus Philips has 5 years of age on Hanson. However, the big question is whether Philips can make a transition to CB from FS?

FS is where I would play him. His B&R is so low, you'd have to worry about him falling down on a jam once a game and giving up a TD.

Yeah, I decided I would switch him to CB and see how well he does in the preseason. If he's constantly blowing his B&R I probably will move him back to FS.
