fine with that. Prefer that

I didnt say anything about Cotchery starting. I'm talking about that 5th WR spot only. He makes more sense than Bersin he offers something in the film room. 5th WR doesn't really play and won't offer much of anything on this team on the field

If we get to a point where Bersin has to play in real games we are already beyond screwed.... at least Cotchery still has value in regards to Funchess. Prohel is gonna want some knowledge in that room. That is just how coaches roll IMO. They want help coming from elsewhere

Fantasy advice? Gano might be the only Panther you want

No point keeping Bersin and cutting your vet leader in Cotchery. Both are just possession guys and Bersin doesn't offer upside. So Cotchery wins that role simply bc he is vet in that film room

In other news around the league... Kenjon Barner just took another one to the house

Bersin is here bc he went to Wofford IMO. Least talented WR IMO. He may know the playbook better than some

I didn't say Tolbert wouldn't make the team. He will be 30 shortly and it shows IMO. He looked old last year. People somehow credited him with out win streak when it was Cam getting healthy and 28 beasting. People magically act like he was out there lead blocking for it all just b/c he was active for the games

he is old. It has been showing of late. Looked slow last year. Takes him a long time to get to back to line on those goalline plays....and he doesn't bulldoze like he use to IMO.

great coverage but ball still sneaks through for Philly in the hands. Ball hits a NFL WR in the hands it is on the WR. Concentration

That ball still hit Philly in the hands. He isn't stepping up tonight and showing much

only if he fumbled before he crossed. Looked like he fumbled after he he the pylon

Well, I appreciate Shaq Thompson coming out tonight...

gotcha. i had been thinking he was getting ready to be back

So the Brandon Williams experiment ends? I always hoped eventually he would pan out and be a freak.

Why would he close the door if someone offered to pay him money to run in a straight line hard 4 times a game and then basically take every other play off? Basically free money to do hardly anything

Coach speak. Rivera has always claimed to feel good about every glaring issue

I think Cam is best in a no huddle shotgun.... We can still run from that. 28 has always been the best runner of the zone read paired with Cam by far

Well, our first team O generated about 2 rush yards in the first preseason game and 5 in the first half. I realize 28 didn't play but if we are built to run the ball we need to actually start showing some glimpses of that soon.

sending him for a MRI is basically just fact checking what the team already knows. If he blew his ACL Carolina knows and doesn't need the MRI...that is just a technicality. If be shocked if it wasn't torn at this point. Players commenting after it happened didn't even seem optimistic

hell, we played with Byron Bell at LT last year. KB is our biggest weapon on O for Cam...Olsen is a nice consistent player but he isn't the matchup problem KB is. Outside of Cam and maybe Kalil...KB would be the next biggest loss on O

Optimism is good at times like this... However based one what happened I think you gotta mentally prepare that we won't see KB for a long time.

I'd feel better if he collided with another player and hurt his knee. no contact cart offs generally are bad

we will be fine if it is just a minor injury that only causes him to miss preseason... going down like that with no contact is bad. Would be a huge blow to our O.

one thing I liked is they did bust out the no huddle offense by our starters in the first preseason game.... so to make myself feel better I will just convince myself that it can only mean the no huddle will be a big part of what we are this year....bc lets be real....we always looked better last year doing it
