Tuesday Panthers Cuts....


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

OK, to add fuel to the fire re: the concern of cutting Boykin, I hadn't realized, but he was leading the WR pack in receptions & yards in the pre-season games.  But not in reception percentage.  On another thread someone said these were not all "catchable" targets.  I don't have that data... I'm just going by what the Panthers gamebooks say re: targets:

Is LG supposed to be their longest reception? Cause most of those are definitely wrong.

Arrrgggghhh yes.  Again it's a problem that I accidentally totaled multiple gains.  Sorry.  I'm a bit under the weather today, so clearly not concentrating well.  I'll just delete that column entirely above.

Those of you surprised by the Glanton cut shouldn't be. He looks solid in run support at time but is burned worse than Nakamura in pass coverage. He was personally responsible for two touchdowns this preseason that I remember. Klein played better, Jacobs is a ST beast, and Mayo has the raw talent to develop. Not shocking to me.

Melvin White was a slight surprise only because we like big guys outside. But Teddy Williams has balled out the past two games and I know they are high on Heath.

The most surprising is Boykin. I have to wonder if he asked for his release so that he could go back to Green Bay. He could sign a one-year deal there, be the 3rd wideout, have a solid year, and cash in next year. Good business move if that's the case.
