Old man Dwan Edwards was as impressive as anyone out there on 1st string tonight. Don't need to hear anyone calling for "youth" at DT because the man still has it covered. :)

Until #6 began punting line drives, special teams did very well. Color me impressed.

Corey Brown needs to sit. A guy in the row in front of us was counting his drops. 5 drops & 1 catch. He had his hands on every one of those 5 drops. You could tell Shula was giving him chances for redemption all night, he played all game, but he failed. Terribly.

Jonathan Stewart. I was deeply disappointed by his running. No other RB had as much trouble as he did. Maybe he does need to practice more.

Impressed: Defense (Especially LBs), Cotchery, Ginn, Olsen, special teams, McDermott, Tolbert, Lucas, Boykin, and Bersin.

Depressed: OL - Cam got hit way too much and they had trouble pushing the line against the Pats in the running game. Stewart showed no explosion, Whittaker showed why he is not an every down back. Todman was a rag doll hoping for a crease to show up. CAP was bad with less than 3 ypc on 6 carries and could not run over the smallest man on the field even with a 5 yard hole. CAP was a pinball that got smacked to the ground as soon as he met a player head on (just like college). It looks like he runs into a wall whenever he collides with a defender. Byrd had a horrible day. The third team defense.

SELF DESTRUCT: Corey Butterfingers Brown had a cut worthy performance that may have supplanted the worst preseason performance in Panthers history held by Jeff Lewis in 2001. That led to starting Weinke week 1 without reps in the preseason or training camp.

Horrible: Ron Rivera and Mike Shula with their play calling and game time decisions. Always go away from the players that get you the wins seems to be their motto until week 10. Someone needs to hire Rivera a team of big data sports psychologists as an analytic consultancy that can explain to him the impact of his game time decisions on the team as a whole.

Him being a "fringe guy" depresses me.  Fozzy and Todman should be the fringe guys, in my opinion.

I'd say Todman is.  Fozzy is a matter of opinion.  He actually played well tonight.

Runningback depth is probably where the toughest choices are gonna have to be made.
