We last broke down the Panthers’ run game in Week 3, and things have only gotten worse since then. Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert were injured against the Steelers, and DeAngelo Williams was reinjured in Baltimore. So the Panthers are down to a running back-by-committee for Sunday’s game with the Bears.
 
Fozzy Whittaker is back from a quad pull, and free agent Chris Ogbonnaya was added to the roster this week. But undrafted rookie Darrin Reaves may be in line for his first NFL start.
 
Reaves had 12 carries for 26 yards and caught three passes for 11 yards against the Ravens, and while we only have 15 pro touches to work with, we can still attempt to examine a couple things he did well last Sunday.

How well do we think he'll perform behind our porous O-line on Sunday? Better? Worse? The same?

 

What percentage of snaps do we think he'll see? I know it's "the hot hand," but who will that be?

Game looked too big for Reaves.

He only looked set up to fail on one run. The one outside where he was destroyed.

Outside of that he looked to be his own worst nightmare for the most part. He looked to simply fall down and loose his footing early on runs.....we don't need to help teams slow our run.

Let's hope it was first game jitters

No reason to think we will all of a sudden develop a running game. Reaves and Whittaker don't excite me at all. Both seem like projects.

 

What is the beef with Ogbonnaya? Seems like he put up some decent numbers. 

 

 

Oggie played for the Browns.  He might be the next Franco Harris for all we know.

As some blog called thescore.com put it last year, Ogbannaya does have a "mild touch of fumbleitis".

 

Let's hope he is cured of his illness.

My guess is that Whittaker will be the best fit Sunday against the Bears. To bad Ogbonnaya hasn't had a little more time to become familiar with our offensive scheme.

 

You could be right about tomorrow, but I'm still guessing Obi.  I tell you what: for fantasy purposes, my low risk bet would be a flier on Ogbannaya.  He was picked ahead of Whitaker last year by the Browns.  Kind of funny, a Browns fan commented on NFL.com that all we need now is to summon the spirit of Willis McGahee (well, they didn't put quite like that, LOL) and we'll have the better part of their backfield from last year.

      I Think Ashton Jeanty will be the Pick at #8

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      It's been a tradition of mine in FF I ignore the name of the RB and draft them based on the oline. For years, Dallas was the elite line. Now it's Philly. It's been plug and play behind those lines. Investing those day 2 picks on the interior line allows you to take a day 3 RB and get day 2 results.

      So we have Tremble, JT Sanders, and the Thomas - Franks is the 4th but mainly just for Special teams.  Sanders is a TE - on paper, on the roster, physically, and on the field.  If you are trying to claim because he is a good receiver and not a great blocker he is not a TE then you have not watched very much football, like at all.  Cause that is how a ton of TE's come into the league.  Literally the #1, most common area for improvement for the TE group every single year - especially the top 5 TE's. And for the 1 millionth time, for the people in the back - drafting BPA is absolutely not a rule that anyone follows.  Not a single team.  They always factor in multiple things, BPA being one of them but not the most important almost ever.  It is an evaluation of need, personal evaluation, pick position/who drafts before your next pick, trade offers, free agents possible.  They don't follow it for good reason. Perfect example - Bo Nix.  He was not rated anywhere near #12 by just about anyone - including the broncos.  But they drafted him because they NEEDED a QB, liked him, and had no 2nd RD pick.  They outright said that.  Do you think they regret the pick?  They drafted 100% for need and pick position. Example #2 - Bijan.  Atlanta drafted BPA.  He is amazing, had a great 2 years so far.  They were 7-10 for 2 straight years prior.  And the 2 years after they have been 7-10 & 8-9.  Do you think they made the right decision?  By the way they also spent the #4 overall pick on Pitts, a Generational TE, and he/they suck.  I'd imagine Falcon fans would not agree with your BPA theory since they missed out on Chase, Waddle, Parsons, Horn, PSII, DeVonta Smith - all positions of need in 2021. BPA is A criteria, but not THE criteria.
