• Several players made a splash during the initial red zone period. Running back Fozzy Whittaker continues to be in the middle of the action, stymied on a short route by Davis before coming back for a touchdown reception from Anderson over the middle. Whittaker, Samuel and fullback Darrel Young caught TD tosses over the middle near the goal line, but the defense controlled action outside of that window. Cornerback James Bradberry broke up Anderson's last shot in the first red zone period, and on the next play, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn broke up Joe Webb's first attempt. Recently signed quarterback Garrett Gilbert got just one snap in the period but made the most of it, hooking up with fullback Alex Armah in the flat. Armah looked fully capable of finishing it off if live contact were allowed.

Woo Hoo! Armah made a play!

Nice.

Anyone have any idea how Zeek Bigger has been doing?  He signed a 3 year deal yesterday.  (Panthers hold the option on all 3 years... ha)  Hoping for PS at minimum.

As an ECU alum, I'm also curious

I think PS is perhaps what we should potentially expect with the logjam we have at the LB position

Sure would be nice to see Armah be a "project" that actually works out for us

He doesn't look like he'd be very much fun to tackle or have coming full steam ahead at you...

I totally agree.  The only glimmer of hope I see was with Klein leaving.  I think Zeek could beat out Mayo, if given a fair shot.

Don't under estimate David mayo

I believe he'll make the team due simply to the fact that he can play ST. His FB play would be an added bonus.

People always do.

Mayo is going to be #2 behind Luke. He's a stud.

Well since there's only one other viable FB on the roster,  (Darrel Young, who also scored in the red zone today) and that they used a valuable draft pick on him, I would say that's a pretty darn good guess.

@ECUPantherFan

Do you see Boulware making the team?  Just curious

I think somebody in the media asked RR about him yesterday. Go check it out at Panthers.com. There are a couple  pics of Biggers up too.

Yes, I do.  Which is another problem for Zeek.

Agreed it's a good guess.  I'd normally agree that since he was a draft pick he'd make the 53, but was also wondering if the Panthers might be thinking they could stash him on the PS for a year to let him develop (since he hasn't played FB in a long time) with very little to no risk of another team stealing him away.  Basically just because I don't think many people know about the guy, much less have film to study of him.  TC will be intriguing as always.
