Michael G

or.....We could put both dudes into one huge jersey and put them on the field at the same time---if we put in Deonte B. at LG it wouldn't look so off.............

I agree its a little too much IMO, but based on his age and durability- its nothing to really b---h about. He could be the best T in the league in another year or two!

I'm not sure what you guys are going on about, but I am gonna go watch the movie you referenced- Thanks for the inspiration!

The "Patriot Way!"

Agreed, I don't know why I'm playing Devil's Advocate....but Davis had J. Beason beside him in 2008 didn't he?...ok I'll stop. Honestly TD is one of the the toughest players I ever saw play. He always was bringing it and it showed up on tape...Shaq doesn't have that regardless of who's back there with him (He did play with Luke and TD both for most of his career!) I do think Shaq is a pretty good player, just not TD or Luke, and unfortunately not showing he is worth the big money Hurney gave him.

I agree...but how much impact did LK have on Davis's development--- Before LK and the 3 knee injuries, how good was Davis? Was his Pre-LK career much better than what Shaq has done? I know I'm bordering on Blasphemy so I'm done with my "What if's"....

A few ?s: (1) Would Thomas Davis at his best be worth the contract ST got? (2) How good would TD at his best be w/o Luke K. beside him? (What if he had to play with Tahir W. beside him instead) Would that guy be worth Shaq's current contract? (3) If Shaq (or any LB) balled out and was one of the best-rated LB's in the league-would he be worth the contract that Shaq got? Its hard for me to objectively evaluate how much players are worth. I feel like CMC is worth his contract if he performs as expected and can stay on the field. Teddy B played 5 games at NO and looked good with the group he had around him. That ultimately led to his deal, and he wasn't worth it. As for Shaq, I think the expectations for him were very high, but I do believe he was overpaid. Even so, I also wonder if Luke had still been beside him how much his play would have been elevated, if he took over TD's role (Phil Snow,- the coaching changes kind of derailed that progression). I guess I never really so enough for me to say Shaq was a Star Player, and I think you have to see that before you pay a guy the way he was paid. I think he was paid based on what Marty and the former staff thought he could be.

Great question? How does he compare to Thomas and C. Thompson or Giovanni Ricci. He had some value on Special Teams at Seattle and LSU. He is most likely cheaper than Thomas. I Think the question that decides that 3rd spot will be how Good Arnold and especially Tremble are in Training Camp. If they fill their needed roles it will be easier to let Thomas go and save that cap space, by going with a developmental guy like Sullivan or one of the others as the 3rd TE.

Robert Foster is a 3 or 4 year vet out of Alabama. He played at Buffalo for a couple of years and was at WFT or Philly last year, I think. He's a bottom of roster 4th or 5th option receiver. If I'm thinking about the right guy he's a got a build like Robby A. (Tall and slender), maybe a tad heavier, but not quite as fast (a 4.4 guy). Honestly Jaycee is out of the guy's league. He should dominate guys like that. (No offense Robert- You keep working too). I hope most of the reps looked like this. I can't wait to see Jaycee shutting down guys in our division. In Training Camp we'll get to see reps of him on DJ, Robby, Terrence M., and even Arnold maybe...Those will be really interesting

Maybe- Charlton really struggled in training camp last year- but he seemed to settle down and punt well during the year. He even pulled off a fake punt and completed a pass for a 1st down. Early in mini-camp, however, it came out that he had some trouble holding for Slye (Couldn't get his spot right sometimes, or something), and could have been partly responsible for some of those missed FGs. Blackburn and Slye both said they are working better now. It could be a legit competition.

These Rookies apparently have some experience out of the slot too!

I saw Thomas on that list- I wonder how well Arnold will perform when lined up there?

Based on the info about him I read he was a workhorse. He does have some good college tape. Rodney Smith does too though. Neither of those guys will cost a lot. The third back job will likely be decided on things in addition to running ability--Pass pro, Return ability, receiving ability, and special teams coverage even. If he distinguishes himself in a couple of those abilities he may stick.

Yeah- It was phrased like he'd be used (on the field just as much), but they'd be smart about how they use him whatever that means. I hope he gets a few less touches because other guys are stepping up. I think he might flex out even more with Curtis gone. I'd like to see him on the field at times with another back in the backfield. He takes so much attention with him, it should really open thinks up for the offense if he's used smartly.

Ouch!

Paddy will have difficulty in coverage. RB's and even TE's in the NFL are just too fast for him. I Think if he has a shot he'll have to really impress on Special Teams.

Recently Ventell Bryant, a Panther's WR, was popped by the NFL and suspended. Many Huddlers were like "Who?" when this news broke and reacted accordingly "so what?". Since there isn't a lot going on I decided to create a list of relatively unknown Camp Bodies on the roster who most likely will not make the 53 man roster. I am not including highly ranked draft prospects or known veterans who will might be cut, but only lessr known players we have on the roster right now. Please comment if you think I'm wrong about any of these guys, missed someone who should be on this list or know something about them other than they are football players on our roster. Please post if you think one of these guys has a chance to make the roster and explain why. 1. Spencer Brown (RB) UDFA out of Bama-Birmingham. A pretty good player in college according to his stats. 2. Ventell Bryant (WR) A taller receiver out of Temple a couple of years ago. He was Undrafted and made news recently because he was suspended for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. 3. Sean Chandler (S) UDFA back in 2017- Spent 3 years with the Giants before we added him late last year. Another Temple guy. 4. Darius Clark (RB) A small school kid out of Newberry College in SC. He was a bigger back in college but has lost some weight and maybe added some quickness (Panthers.com list him at 6'2/210 lbs). He was signed after attending a special workout section in San Diego that a few NFL teams send scout to. He was undrafted in 2020. 5. Mikey Daniel (RB/FB) This kid was a UDFA last year who was signed to the Falcons but waived prior to the start of the season. He played college at South Dakota St. and scored 30 TDs or so. I read two articles (one on the Falcons team website and another from Rivals or Draft Diamonds) that claim he is very good at Pass Protection. Good for him. 6. Oscar Draguicevich III (P) We picked this guy up as a UDFA following this years draft. He averaged 46.7 yards a punt last year at Washington St. (3rd best in the nation). 7. Paddy Fisher (LB) An UDFA out of Northwestern this year. A blue collar guy who plays hard downhill. A little too slow though- Probably why he went Undrafted. He had a pretty decent college career. 8. Frank Herron (DL) He was undrafted out of LSU in 2018. He spent 2 seasons with the Lions before signing with us. We have him listed as a DE, but he spend time inside and out with the Lions. I read something earlier this offseason saying he reported to OTA's weighing nearer to 300 lbs, back when he was cut and quickly resigned a couple of days later as part of the shuffle. 8. Delano Hill (S) I almost didn't include HIll because he was drafted in the 3rd round by Seattle in 2017, but I don't know a whole lot about him so here he is. He is a bigger safety like Franklin and Chin (215ilbs or so). We signed him after he responded to an invite back during Rookie Mini-Camp. 9. MIke Horton (OG) We signed Horton as a UDFA after the 2020 draft. I think he spend the entire season on the Practice Squad. He played his college ball at Auburn. 10. Phil Hoskins (DT) We actually drafted this kid this year in the 7th round. WIth Roy, Nixon, Jones and Brown probably locks to make the Roster (and Fox and Yetur's ability to move inside) I don't see him making the 53- A practice squad addition probably this year. He comes to us from UK (No...not Great Britain -The University of Kentucky) 11. Ishmael Hymen (WR) A UDFA out of James Madison U. that we picked up at some point last year. He spent most of the year on the practice squad. During OTA's he got some love from Rhule who said he was running routes and catching the ball really well. 12. JT Ibe (S) A UDFA from last year (2020)- we signed this guy after he participated in South Carolina's Pro Day this past year. He recorded at least one interception during mini-camp. I see him making the practice squad probably. 13. Martez Ivey (OT) Ivey was signed by NE as a UDFA in 2019. He was cut prior to the Season. In 2020 he played in the XFL, we signed him at the end of last year. He played college ball at Florida and was LT mostly, but also played some LG. 14. Clay Johnston (LB) Drafted in 2020 by the Rams (7th round), he was cut prior to the season (his release was recorded on Hard Knocks). He played his college ball at Baylor. He is a little small for a LB. We signed him to the practice squad last year and he actually played some in our final two games (24 snaps or so total). 15. Jalen Julius (CB) A UDFA out Ole Miss in 2020- he was signed by the Chiefs, but was cut before the season. We signed him around the same time we signed JT Ibe. He played some FS at Miss, was rumored to have ran a 4.31 coming out of HS during a workout- but ran a laser timed 4.47 at an official workout his Freshman year at Ole Miss. 15. Matt Kaskey (OT) Kaskey was an UDFA out of Dartmouth in 2019. He was signed by the Rams, but cut before the season began. We signed him to our Practice Squad later that year and resigned him after cutting him in 2020. He played 1snap in our final game last year. He played mostly left Tackle in college and is one of our tallest players currently, at 6'7. 16. Marken Michel (WR) Michel was signed as an UDFA out of UMASS in 2016 by the Vikings. He was cut after the start of the season. IN 2017 he played in the CFL (Calgary) and was nominated for the West Division rookie of the year. He played for Calgary if 2018 too, but was injured and finished the season on IR (and was eventually released..?). In 2019 He was signed by the Eagles and placed on their Practice Squad, then waived in Apr 2020. We signed him later that year. He played in several games on special teams, but has not caught a pass for us yet. 17. Aaron Monteiro (OT) Monteiro was and UDFA out of Boston College who was first signed by the Dolphins in 2019. After a short stint in Miami, he was later signed the patriots, eventually landing on our practice Squad near the end of 2019. He also spent most of 2020 on our Practice Squad. He is another very tall player listed on Panthers.com as 6'6 (but at 6'7 on BC's website and others). He played Left Tackle mostly in College. 18. Mike Panasiuk (DT) Mike P. was signed as an UDFA by the Raiders after the 2020 draft. He was waived by them in September, and then signed to our Practice Squad later in the year. He played his college ball at Michigan St. 19. Giovanni Ricci (TE) Signed as an UDFA out of W. Michigan by the Panthers following the 2020 draft. He spend the year on the practice Squad. He was a WR in college, but transitioned to TE prior to his Junior Season. 20. CJ Saunders (WR) Saunders went unsigned out of Ohio State in 2020. He was allowed to work out at OSU's Pro Day earlier in 2021 and caught a few long balls from Justin Fields. We signed him. He actually walked on at Ohio State as a CB, before transitioning to WR. He must have good game speed because his recorded 40 time is pretty slow for a WR (4.67). He also handled some return duties in college. 21. Micah Simon (WR) Simon went Undrafted out of Brigham Young in 2020. He was signed by the Panthers after he ran a 4.34 40 YD dash at BYU's Pro Day prior to the 2021 draft. 22. Mason Stokke (FB) Stokke was signed following the 2021 draft by us as an UDFA. He played his College Ball at Wisconsin. He was originally a LB at Wisconsin, but transitioned to FB. Still a little Raw, but quickly became a effective lead blocker for the Badger's offensive. 23. Stephen Sullivan (TE) Sullivan was drafted by Seattle in the 7th round of the 2020 draft. He was on their practice squad most of the year, seeing action in only one game taking a few snaps on special teams and at DE (He practiced as DE and TE at Seattle). He was injured at some point and not resigned. Carolina signed him at Fit became GM. He played college at LSU where he played a little WR before transitioning to TE. He also played on special teams at LSU. 24. Sam Tecklenburg (OL) Sam played Center at Baylor after transitioning from TE. He "retired" following his senior year (2020) not expecting to be drafted (and he was not). Matt Rhule called him off his couch offering him a UDFA contract. Sam played in 2 games last season (playing 8 or so snaps).

Sweat tested off the charts at the combine that year. I wanted him too. He had a crazy 40 time and was 10-15 lbs bigger than Burns, who was kind of light as a DE. Burns' output has been a pleasant surprise for me. He has an elite "get-off" that Sweat (and most others) do not.

I Think when Mike Shula took over as OC that really stunted Cam's growth as a passer IMO. I think if Chud. would have stayed on he would have improved as a passer. Even in 2015 we were 24th or so in passing yards with Shula.

You should find a sports book and bet as much money as you possibly can on that happening.

My wife watched this with me and let me know that she is now justified about her shoe collection and the money spent on it. Thanks Robby!

Derrick Brown's footwork looks real clean in this drill. The guys are still putting in the work. Hopefully it pays off this year!

I just don't think he's physical enough to play it. Teams would run the ball right at him like They are looking at Bouye to play Nickel. If not him then Hartsfield most likely because of the need to be physical and play the run. That's not Djack's specialty.
