Players who hurt/helped themselves (game4)

HELPED

Jeremy Cash - 6 tackles and a forced fumble on defense. Add another tackle on special teams.

Damiere Byrd - only 1 catch but shows flashes of being a playmaker. Solidified his spot on the 53 tonight.

Vernon Butler - looked like a 1st round talent tonight.

HURT

Kevin Norwood - Injured his hip and will wind up on IR

Jordan Rigsbee - Looked like he was struggling. Had a holding penalty and came off the field w/injury

Beau Sandland - no catches all preseason and had a holding penalty to boot.

[rmoneyg35]

After tonight I wonder if we keep Cash and cut Jacobs or keep both?

The RB situation is tough as all 4 backs had great nights.

Marcus Lucas once again leading all TEs in catches, gotta wonder if he can make the squad. Simonson had a drop and I watched Sandland get manhandled in pass protection.

I believe D Byrd will make the squad but cutting Bersin after tonight's game seems unlikely. Norwood will probably go to IR or get an injury settlement, I hope his injury isn't serious.

I wonder how many offensive linemen will we keep since Yankey, Scott, Hawkins and Larsen all were decent.

HELPED

Cameron Artis-Payne - Ran exceedingly well even without good blocking.

HURT

Brandon Wegher - With the same group blocking for him that blocked for CAP, looked average at best.

Helped:

David Mayo looks like a legit NFL LB and not just a ST

Hurt:

Teddy Williams is fast, but he's overwhelmingly a liability. It's hard to understand why it's necessary for him to have a roster spot

Both Wegher and Payne ran well to the outside but CAP had much better vision and found seams and cutback lanes inside where Wegher struggled between the tackles and was not quick to the hole. So the defense swarmed Brandon while CAP and even Simmons found creases and were more physical after contact.

Agree. Teddy Williams is strictly a special teams ace. We're in trouble if he ever has to play CB for us.

Sounds like Norwood is ok. Still getting cut tho

Helped:

Andy Lee - Went from a Pro Bowl punter to All-Pro Hall of Fame status with elite holding skills and used alchemy mixed with mind control to force a muffed punt.

Brenton Bersin - Caught several passes and made a tackle on special teams. Probably solidified his roster spot.

Keyarris Garrett - Might have a chance on the practice squad now after he was cheated out of that one-handed TD catch.

I really hope Lucas makes the team, he's easily our second best receiving TE.

Black & Blue Review @BlackBlueReview

RR on RBs: “They’ve put us in a tough spot.” Meant in a good way. And the tough spot - hard decisions - is exactly what they want to be in

Reporter: How many pounds did you put on? Jeremy Cash: 16 Reporter: How did you do that? Jeremy Cash: Eating

I want to believe Lucas can be a good TE for the Panthers but I don't know if he has the blocking ability and I could be wrong but I believe most of his catches came late in the game against 2nd and 3rd stringers.

As bad as Sandland has played I don't know if I'm worried because plenty of good tight ends didn't have good a rookie preseason and have done well. It's a position that can take time to develop.
