I miss you, Swole Bones. Come home :(

Finally. Wonder id he will be back next year? Article about it says he has played 5 games since 13

I'm confused.  Did Ward punch JRs wife in the titty or what?

The kid has skills that we need.

[Mr. Scot]

Well, that's been a long time coming.

Simonson had some good moments in preseason.

Lee Ward... Lee Ward...  Lee Ward...

Brockel is a TE/H-back and Lee Ward is a FB exclusively with no TE skills. They don't even play the same position. Stop equating them.

[Khyber53]

Good luck to Simonson. We can always use someone who can catch.

[O-Ther]

Only thing I can remember Brockel doing this year was get called for PI doing a pick play that cancelled an Olsen TD vs. the Taints

Might be the last thing he does as a Panther. Simonson next man up

Should've never kept him over Barnidge in the first place.  Didn't like it when it happened, absolutely hate it now that Barnidge is tearing poo up

[Moorgan]

After reading that article today breaking down our run game, it seems like we use running threats who can block and not blocking backs who can run...if that makes sense.

Lee Ward might not actually fit unless he were to show he could run well enough for defenders to account for him as a runner legitimately.

He apparently didn't in camp. But I could easily be wrong.

Brockel needed to go to IR. Taking up a roster spot for zero production. Could never fully understand the love for this guy with the organization. Besides ST play didn't see much production. Played a handfull of games since 2013. Give the kid a chance.

I miss you, Swole Bones. Come home :(

No doubt Dan Campbell wanted someone to arm wrestle with in Miami.

[Mr. Scot]

All due respect guys... Ward might have looked good in camp but he didn't really show anything special in the preseason games.  Neither did Damiere Byrd, honestly.

I'd be fine with the kid getting another shot but let's be real.  No one else saw anything that made them crazy to pick him up either.
