I'd forgotten Incognito is with the Bills. Could be another reason J. Martin retired.... didn't want to face him... add in the joint practices with Miami..., lots of bad memories? Just sayin'

@FriendlyBills, Good to have you here. Thanks for the info. Good luck to your team this year. Still rooting for the Panthers tonight, of course, but hope you have a good season. Your defense is exciting... lots for us Panther fans to appreciate. We love us some good D.

This tweet from David Newton might interest Huddlers: Vote on all black?

LOL. Make Browning #11, because the list above doesn't mention Mike Brown. Hope Browning does a good job during the pre-season game and that he will move forward in his career and get a place to play, but I have to agree with others here, his late arrival to Camp and the incredible competition for spots makes it hard to believe he's got any chance to get a spot on the roster or even the PS. Here's the most recent article on Panthers.com on the WR competition. Note where Browning's name appears: http://www.panthers.com/news/article-2/Rivera-impressed-by-wide-receivers/5c283751-d45b-404b-bc28-d8ae74c4e974

Re: watching out of area, you could at least watch today free with the seven day free trial of game pass. It seems they've done away with the $20 pre-season game package and merged it into Gamepass.

Got us some excited Panther fans on Twitter. #CARvsBUF is trending!

LOL. That's true! But it was fun seeing it confirmed before my very eyes once again.

Very helpful Jeremy, thanks. Question: Can one use pre-season games to draw conclusions re: units? I watched the Saints game last night. There were definitely individual players I could cite who made plays, or who didn't. But it also looked like the whole 1st team D was weak. The Saints defense was truly porous the 1st quarter. Baltimore moved the ball at will, both passing and running and controlled the ball for 12 of the 15 minutes, scoring TDs on both of their first drives. You can see the play by play here. http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=400790313 Certainly I came away with the impression that the Saints 1st team defense was really struggling on multiple levels. Is that too broad a conclusion from a pre-season game?

Well... there is the cool name factor....! LOL.

That's what a lot of us have been thinking... but Rivera didn't leave himself too much wiggle room. Here are his words from today's post-practice press comments, via BBR: http://blackandbluereview.com/transcript-ron-rivera-after-wednesday-practice/

Tough decisions ahead for G'man, Rivera & co. Wow. The news today from Rivera that Webb is basically a lock tightens things up exceptionally, especially at RB. I really thought we'd be keeping Stew, Fozzy, CAP & Todman for sure. Question: Could Fozzy still snag a spot on the PS as one of the 2 exceptions? I'd rather see us keep him than Foucault. But of course, he very well would be likely to be picked up by another team..., so PS may not really be a viable option for him even if he could be eligible. Oh well. Hopefully the pre-season games will make it clear who is best to keep and make these decisions a little bit easier for the team.

Glad practice ended and Cam's interview finished before the Geno Smith news broke or Cam really might have been mobbed / hounded to death. At least he was gone from the podium when the news broke.

Back to Panthers FOOTBALL news. Thank you Jeremy:

Obviously I don't mean to turn this into a Jets discussion... but the Panthers' beat writers were making the comparison to Cam & Norman, so I felt those tweets were worth copying here. But I won't post any more.

Uh, wow, OK. Twitter now buzzing with Geno Smith news. Jonathan Jones retweeted Kimberley A. Martin ‏@KMart_LI 6m6 minutes ago Geno Smith is out 6-10 weeks, Bowles (!!!). Said IK Enemkpali hit Geno and now Geno has a busted jaw Joe Person ‏@josephperson 4m4 minutes ago But wait, Cam wasn't at risk of getting injured. Joe Person retweeted: Kimberley A. Martin @KMart_LI Impromptu Bowles meeting: Geno Smith got "sucked-punched" in the locker room (!) Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 4m4 minutes ago The Geno Smith broken jaw thing really puts the Cam Newton/Josh Norman scrum into perspective Joe Person ‏@josephperson 4m4 minutes ago And Enemkpali has been cut. Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 4m4 minutes ago The Jets with Jet until Jetting ceases to Jet

LOL. It's true. Shaq looked like a WR. That ball came right to him!
