  1. The Carolina Panthers have donated 100 thousand dollars to the victims families and to the Church involved in the terrible Charleston Shootings of this week, according to Bakari Sellers, current candidate for South Carolina Lt Governor View full article
  2. ​Not really. Plus, I think it is pretty obvious no one else would pick him up off of our practice squad. At least, I hope it is.
  3. ​The Panthers used a 3rd LB about 30% of the time last season.
  4. I like Byrd a lot, and he has looked really good in practice. But he hasn't taken an NFL hit yet.
  5. ​You think there is any chance Gettleman waives a draft pick this year and risk New England or another team stealing them again? Fat chance.
  6. ​On passing downs. Good speed rusher, gives up a bit on run defense. Addison is more balanced. It could go either way really. We will see in camp.
  7. ​Rivera has glowing remarks for every player when asked. I would't read much into it. Which LB would you release to keep Trusnik?
  8. ​Colin Jones has looked outstanding in practices in addtion to being a special teams demon. We don't know how quickly Shaq will pick up the position.
  9. ​Chris Houston just got here after being out of football for a while. Not enough information to say otherwise.
  10. ​Releasing an injured player in an attempt to put him on IR isn't the same thing. But lets say it is.... Do you see Gettleman being more or less likely to release a rookie now after seeing the Pats pick up Gafney last year? The Gafney debacle probably further solidified the notion to Gettleman that draft picks don't get waived.
  11. Gettleman has never cut a rookie draft pick. Until he does otherwise...
  12. ​From your mouth to Rivera's ears. This roster isn't what I would personally do, but what I see Rivera doing.
  13. ​ Not much new learning needed in catching a ball that hits you in the hands. He needs to improve a great deal before he can be considered for a roster spot. Hopefully in camp he gets it together.
  14. ​Boykin looked like the worst WR in the group in OTA's and Mini Camp.
  15. ​Second team reps. Looks solid out there.
  16. ​Cotchery getting 1st team reps. I don't see Ron Rivera cutting him, he loves him some seasoned vets.
  17. ​First and second team mostly. Used in H-Back roll frequently.
  18. ​I think you would see a RB by committee if Stewart goes down. Starting would be irrelevant.
  19. Now that the Carolina Panthers offseason workouts are complete, here is my projected roster lineup based on first hand observations and reps received. Offense - 26 Quarterback - 2 Cam Newton Derek Anderson Running Back - 4 Jonathan Stewart Fozzy Whitaker Cameron Artis-Payne Jordan Todman Fullback - 1 Mike Tolbert Tight End - 3 Greg Olsen Ed Dickson Brandon Williams Wide Receiver - 6 Kelvin Benjamin Devin Funchess Corey Brown Ted Ginn Brenton Bersin Jerricho Cotchery Offensive Line - 10 Michael Oher Andrew Norwell Ryan Kalil Trai Turner Mike Remmers Jonathan Martin Daryl Williams Amini Silatolu Brian Folkerts Nate Chandler Defense - 24 Defensive Line - 8 Charles Johnson Star Lotulelei Kawaan Short Frank Alexander Kony Ealy Colin Cole Dwan Edwards Mario Addison Linebacker - 5 Thomas Davis Luke Kuechly Shaq Thompson Adarius Glanton David Mayo Safety - 5 Roman Harper Tre Boston Kurt Coleman Dean Marlowe Colin Jones Corners - 6 Josh Norman Bene Benwikere Charles Tillman Melvin White Carrington Byndom Teddy Williams Special Teams - 3 Kicker - Graham Gano Punter - Brad Nortman Long Snapper - JJ Jansen Practice Squad - 10 Lee Ward Garry Peters Damiere Byrd Brandon Wegher Terry Redden Martin Wallace David Foucault Rakim Cox Marcus Lucas Brian Blechen Notes: Panthers keep one less linebacker and one additional safety due to popularity of "Buffalo" package. Glanton currently higher on depth chart than Klein.CB Teddy Williams retained mostly for Special Teams abilities. Joe Webb not retained due to Cam Newton's improved health and other special teams additions added in offseason. All draft picks on regular roster until Gettleman shows otherwise. Nate Chandler retained for backup RT/G role. Versatility gets him a jersey. Brian Folkerts / Chris Scott position up in the air with Remmers taking backup center snaps. Folkerts as the only listed backup center on roster gets the spot for now. This is, by far, the most difficult year to make cuts to the roster in recent memory. Talent level is up, good players have to be released due to the numbers. Other teams will be signing cut Panthers players. View full article
  20. The Carolina Panthers finished their offseason workout in spirited fashion. This was one of the better practices to have witnessed. No punches were thrown, but it was exciting none the less. Here are the highlights... Konly Ealy impressed early with a reaching bat down of a Cam Newton pass. Could Ealy be using yesterday's fisticuffs at motivation?Starting corners today were Josh Norman and Peanut Tillman for the first half of practice, and then Benwikere replaced Tillman for the rest. Starting safeties were Tre Boston and Roman Harper.Josh Norman was very physical with Gamecocks rookie WR Damiere Byrd at the line, jamming him at the line. After the play, Josh would walk over to Byrd with encouragement, telling him what he did and how to counter it. Daryl Williams was the starting right tackle for most of the day. Mike Remmers spent time at center with the first and second unity. It is unclear if this is more than typical evaluation. TE Jamie Childers dropped a sure TD from Cam Newton. Not a great way to make an impression with the first team. Todman hauled in another nice touchdown from Derek Anderson out of the backfield. Todman has impressed as of late. CB Lou Young has looked less than average until today. He made a couple of nice plays on the ball. Bene Benwikere's quickness is an obvious asset to the Panthers. He is at the receiver instantly on Cam Newton check downs. Corey Brown again showed nice hands with an important sideline grab from Cam Newton. Devin Funchess also showed impressive hands today on a quick out from Cam Newton. Cam Newton had a couple of poor overthrows today to Ted Ginn, but Funchess is more difficult to place the ball out of reach for. A scary moment today happened when Cam Newton took a hard fall to the ground after slipping on the turf. There were many slips this year in practices for everyone.During the last first team drills, the offensive tackles were Martin and Williams. Jarrett Boykin dropped a sure TD from Cam Newton. Boykin tried to cradle the ball, but it bounced off his chest. Boykin has struggled throughout OTAs and Mini Camp. Damiere Byrd is looking like a keeper, at least on the practice squad. His snaps have been increasing as some others have been decreasing. He is taking full advantage of them. View full article
  21. Basically guys who have their hands on each other constantly
  22. Not as many snaps today. Looked like they wanted evaluate the other guys.
  23. In the Panthers private mock drafts Beane chose for the Panthers. That fact means more now I think.
  24. ​Getting third round reps, playing up man position on kickoff returns.
  25. I have no doubt you have heard about the punches thrown at practice today, so here are the other things you need to know about today's Panthers practice. ​ View full article
