Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Can I assume moves are over for roughly 23 hrs? 

Here's what happens tomorrow, if I understand correctly:

from here:

A few more tweets of interest

Black & Blue Review @BlackBlueReview 13m13 minutes ago

Brian Folkerts waived with an injury settlement. While Remmers and Scott are backups, still could see #Panthers shop for backup C.

 

Bryan Strickland @PanthersBryan 13m13 minutes ago

Most difficult cuts in my six seasons with team, which should bode well.

 

Steve Reed @SteveReedAP 13m13 minutes ago

All five draft picks made the Panthers roster, and so did two undrafted rookies - RB Brandon Wegher and S Dean Marlowe

Essentially no major surprise cuts by the Panthers. Top names would be Bersin, Todman and Trusnik.

 

Joe Person @josephperson 9m9 minutes ago

#Panthers 5 WRs (for now) -- Cotchery, Ginn, Funchess, Norwood, Corey Brown. I think this could change by end of the weekend.

Undrafted DE Arthur Miley (knee) goes on regular IR. My earlier tweet was wrong. Fling your online arrows this way.

I appreciate your cerebralism but I'm just trying to reach a state of annebriation.   A simple yes or no would suffice.

When a question pops in my mind, you go ahead and answer it. Thanks!

A good position by position break down of the 53 at Panthers.com

http://www.panthers.com/news/article-2/Breaking-down-the-53-man-roster/a0701b0d-d4ee-4a25-a558-93531e96aded

Excerpt:

Here's a look at how each position group stacks up:

QUARTERBACKS (3):

Cam Newtonicon-article-link.gif, Derek Andersonicon-article-link.gif, Joe Webbicon-article-link.gif

Newton and Anderson both signed contract extensions before the season. Webb extended his stay with a strong preseason performance, showing how valuable he can be on special teams while also being capable of helping at wide receiver in a pinch.

RUNNING BACKS (5): Jonathan Stewarticon-article-link.gif, Mike Tolberticon-article-link.gif, Fozzy Whittakericon-article-link.gif, Cameron Artis-Payneicon-article-link.gif, Brandon Wegher

One of the Panthers' most difficult decisions came at running back, with Whittaker, Wegher and offseason acquisition Jordan Todman you had to figure at least one would be the odd man out. It proved to be Todman, who averaged more than five yards a carry even if you remove his 49-yard touchdown in the preseason finale and who did well as a pass blocker and on special teams. That only goes to show how much the Panthers think of Wegher and his impressive combination of speed and strength.

WIDE RECEIVERS (5): Jerricho Cotcheryicon-article-link.gif, Ted Ginn, Jr.icon-article-link.gif, Devin Funchessicon-article-link.gif, Corey Brownicon-article-link.gif, Kevin Norwoodicon-article-link.gif

The guys who made it were expected to, with Brown taking a step toward getting over his recent drops in the preseason finale and Norwood showing he was worth trading for in his Panthers debut. The question was whether there would be room for a sixth receiver, and there wasn't to the dismay of Brenton Bersin, who had another solid preseason after catching 13 passes for Carolina last season.

TIGHT ENDS (4): Greg Olsenicon-article-link.gif, Ed Dicksonicon-article-link.gif, Richie Brockelicon-article-link.gif, Brandon Williamsicon-article-link.gif

The Panthers kept the same four tight ends as last year, with waived players Scott Simonson and Marcus Lucas increasing the competition and helping make the returnees better. Brockel must work his way back from a shoulder injury, while Williams is showing signs of shaking off the rust following groin surgery that sidelined him all of training camp.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (9): Ryan Kalilicon-article-link.gif, Michael Ohericon-article-link.gif, Mike Remmersicon-article-link.gif, Trai Turnericon-article-link.gif, Andrew Norwellicon-article-link.gif, Daryl Williamsicon-article-link.gif, Nate Chandlericon-article-link.gif, Chris Scotticon-article-link.gif, Amini Silatoluicon-article-link.gif

The Panthers reached an injury settlement with Brian Folkerts, who contributed at center, guard and on special teams the last two seasons but suffered an ankle injury in the preseason. Starting right tackle Mike Remmers has shown he can play center, and the versatility of Chris Scott – who could be an emergency center in addition to playing guard and tackle – helped him make team. The other reserves (Williams, Chandler, Silatolu) also are capable of playing multiple positions.

DEFENSIVE ENDS (4):

Charles Johnsonicon-article-link.gif, Kony Ealyicon-article-link.gif, Mario Addisonicon-article-link.gif, Wes Hortonicon-article-link.gif

Invited tryout Rakim Cox was the talk of preseason early, but there just wasn't room for him. With Johnson sidelined the entire preseason and with Frank Alexandericon-article-link.gif lost for the season to an Achilles injury, the Panthers' returning defensive ends all stepped up after a slow start.

DEFENSIVE TACKLES (5): Star Lotuleleiicon-article-link.gif, Kawann Shorticon-article-link.gif, Colin Coleicon-article-link.gif, Dwan Edwardsicon-article-link.gif, Kyle Loveicon-article-link.gif

There also wasn't room for Cox because Carolina decided this year – unlike last year – to keep a tackle as its ninth and final defensive linemen. The reality is Kyle Love played well enough to earn a spot even if there wasn't an injury concern for Lotulelei, who suffered a foot injury early in training camp and is yet to return to practice.

LINEBACKERS (6): Luke Kuechlyicon-article-link.gif, Thomas Davisicon-article-link.gif, Shaq Thompsonicon-article-link.gif, A.J. Kleinicon-article-link.gif, Ben Jacobsicon-article-link.gif, David Mayoicon-article-link.gif

There was simply more talent than roster spots among the back seven. That was bad news for linebacker Adarius Glanton – who showed promise as a undrafted rookie in 2014 – and offseason acquisition Jason Trusnik, a veteran with special teams skills. Jacobs led the Panthers with nine special teams tackles in 2014 and has emerged as a leader for those groups.

DEFENSIVE BACKS (9): Josh Normanicon-article-link.gif, Charles Tillmanicon-article-link.gif, Roman Harpericon-article-link.gif, Kurt Colemanicon-article-link.gif, Bene Benwikereicon-article-link.gif, Tre Bostonicon-article-link.gif, Colin Jonesicon-article-link.gif, Teddy Williamsicon-article-link.gif, Dean Marlowe

The battle for the last couple of spots was heated here as well, with Carrington Byndom – an undrafted rookie added to the 53-man roster late last season – and late addition T.J. Heath missing out. The Panthers believe Marlowe can really develop into something given time, while Williams came on strong late in the preseason before suffering a groin injury in the finale.

SPECIALISTS (3): Graham Ganoicon-article-link.gif, Brad Nortmanicon-article-link.gif, J.J. Jansenicon-article-link.gif

No decisions to be made here, with "The Bomb Squad" facing no competition after the cut to 75. Gano was outstanding in the preseason, leading the NFL with a 10-for-10 showing on field goals.
