Stewart out vs Giants, CAP will be involved with Fozzy starting

Wish CAP was starting and Fozzy was coming off the bench.

We are a power running team which CAP is better suited for along with his incredible patience and awareness for a rookie. It's the perfect style for the scheme we've been running.

Fozzy is scat back which means they may have a different offensive game plan which I don't like since it's been the same thing for 13 weeks straight.

Tolbert is likely to start with Dickson or Simonson in the backfield.  Dickson played FB a lot in 2014 when Tolbert was hurt.

Just saw it tweeted out, it's a good move in my opinion.  Also please sit Olsen.

I don't think you sit Olsen yet. I'm aware of the injury factor but we gotta win this week if AZ wins to get the number 1 seed. The problem is AZ plays Sunday night. At least play him until halftime and see what we're looking like. AZ can still beat us for the tie breaker.

I also figure Tolbert will get a majority of the carries which means less CAP opportunities. 

I think people need to brace themselves.....b/c I think Sunday could hit people in the face with the fact we can't run block (at least consistently).  Add in a slow to the line HB like Tolbert and we likely could find ourselves behind the chains a LOT.

What Stewart has done this year is EXTREMELY underrated.

If that holds true, it put Cam at much greater risk for multiple reasons.  He has to run more and being behind the chains puts him at more risk in the pocket.

I think we will know more about Tillman's odds after his body reacts to today's practice.

To your previous post, that's why I would prefer Wegh's and CAP be active.  Those guys are more shifty and promise to be more of a bruiser, you know, other than "scat back" Whitaker.

yea, you're right.  your comment made me go back and double check the notification.  I missed a key word the first time: "hope".  "hope Tillman will play Sunday"

that's fine. pass against the league's worst pass defense to set up the run, and let tolbert grind it out with fozzy spelling him double trouble style. try to utilize CAP in the screen game and see if you can take advantage of a shoddy perimeter defense and linebacking corps that will likely blitz to make up for a terrible pass rush.

we'll be alright.

    • Yeah the thing about DJ and his production was that he played in a scheme that either rushed 6 or rushed 3. Almost nothing in between.  So he's either 1 on 1 or a free rusher OR he's not rushing at all.  That said, he cost very little compared to Burns with basically the same output. 
    • There's much of nothing coming out this time of year, but here's a vid that I believe that many fans need to internalize because it speaks to expectations for the 2024 season.    There's nothing really new, but I'd like to point out that one of the few things that I personally learned is that D.J. Wonnum's contract is only guaranteed to the tune of 10 percent. The analyst in the vid is a Vikings guy, and he has seen all of  Wonnum's plays. He says that Wonnum disappears for big stretches, and of course, as a Panthers guy, I couldn't help but think of Brian Burns' disappearing act for stretches as well.  To paraphrase and kind of give my two cents, Panthers fans should be somewhat optimistic about all of the potential on offense (but not crazily so), and be somewhat worried about the pass rush and defensive backfield. We're thin at both, but hopefully we can at least be competitive based on the offensive side of the ball. This is not to say that we won't be better on defense, but being so thin at rush and on the back end, we will be lucky to substantially improve.  One more note is that I believe he's somewhat of a Young apologist, as he didn't really mention Bryce's bad play specifically, taking the position that we just don't know what we have in Young based upon the sh¡t show in 2023.  I could argue the point, but what's the point? We'll have to see what Bryce has got when surrounded by much-improved talent and coaching. Check the vid out; it isn't so long, and though there are multiple reasons to be skeptical about the defensive personnel, last year produced a couple of stats that should indicate that Ej knows what he's doing. Like the analyst said, we'll hopefully do for the defense in the 2025 off-season, what we did for the offense this off-season.
    • seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
