Alot of people, including me, thought he had a shot at making the 53 man roster this year but was cut. I thought he had a very good preseason, and had a chance to make an impact on the team this year.

NFL.com is reporting we added him to the practice squad yesterday. I havent seen this reported anywhere else, and it isn't on the panthers website. Has anyone else seen this? Does any think he might get promoted to the 53 man roster anytime this year?

Meh if we ever hope to stop the run we'll need a 5 man front consisting of Brayton, Lewis, Harris, Marlon Favorite, and Peppers.

The 5-2 at one time was a widely used D scheme. Of course the reason it isn't used today is a good passing game will eat it for breakfast.

I thought i saw a couple downs where we actually ran a 5 man front against the boys. But that might have been Davis blitzing.

If you want 5 men on the front a more likely formation would be the 4-3 under or over where one LB lines up on the line standing up. You can either blitz him or drop him back into coverage. IMO TD would be awesome lining up at the line every snap. It lets a coach be a little more creative while still using the same base D. I would really like Fox to get creative and throw out a 3-4 look every once in awhile. If nothing else it makes others teams gameplan for one more thing.

And lets face it our D can't look much worse (although they did play a decent 1st half).

They also maybe be wrong..They said we had Jleman on the PS when he was with the eagles.

This is what I was thinking. It doesn't say we dropped anyone from the ps, and the panthers aren't reporting it on their website. No beat writer has reported it from what I see. I think they may be wrong, but I don't know. Was wondering if anyone else heard anything about it.

Did Leman play ST in the preseason. It seems that as good of a ballhawk and tackler as he was on D he would excel on ST.

yeah..he did ST..but the panthers did not get him because they felt he was not fast enough for this defense and did not have enough position versatility.

Yeah our killer ST doesn't need a guy that has a nose for the football, good tackler, and is cheap as hell.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
