Carolina's Not Done: Eric Washington Named Defensive Line Coach

After the earlier news today of Fred Graves' hiring at the wide receiver coach slot, the Carolina Panthers have struck again, hiring Eric Washington to be defensive line coach. Washington comes from the same position with the Chicago Bears, where he helped lead Israel Idonije, Julius Peppers, and the Bears' defense to a top-ten ranking this past season.

Tennessee Titans WR Coach Fred Graves Has Carolina Panthers, Steve Smith, On His Mind

After four years with the Tennessee Titans, Fred Graves is leaving Tennessee after the departure of head coach Jeff Fisher. Graves is going to the Carolina Panthers for a similar position, reuniting with dynamic wide-out Steve Smith, whom he worked with at Utah.

Considering the success of relative unknowns like Kenny Britt, Graves may be able to work wonders with young receivers Brandon LaFell, David Gettis, and Armanti Edwards in Carolina.
