Why was Kalil even active?

It seemed obvious he wasn’t going to play this week, especially when Rivera basically flat out said during the week he wouldn’t play. We had Larsen and Van Roten active. Would’ve been better off having Armah active over Kalil to provide a boost to our offense, even if just because of his energy, toughness and demeanor on the field.

    My guess? Matt practiced this week, he traveled with the team, it was probably a game time decision. It just didn't work out. Although, it could mean he is close to coming back. 

 

   As for Armageddon. Some one posted the fact that when he plays, we are only averaging 3.7 ypc. So I don't believe his contributions are a big a deal as what was thought. 

 

    Been trying to think of who I would have activated had Matt not been active. I just can't think of anyone. So I guess, to me. This isn't a big deal.

You would have thought that the coaching staff would have realized after the last 2 games, that having Armah in as FB is a big boost for our run game.  Kalil doesnt make much sense and neither does Fozzy.  

 

    Someone posted the stat earlier, that we are only averaging 3.7 ypc with Armah. So he seems to not be making the difference folks are wanting to credit him with.

 

    Would have to think they were hoping Matt would be able to go. He is obviously getting close.

other than the 40 yard break out by CMC, what did our RBs average yesterday?

    You can't just wipe out his 40 yarder. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. lol

 

    That said. I don't know. No a whole lot is my guess.

    I don't think it was much worse. Something like 3.1, or somewhere in there. Slightly over 3 anyway. He made a difference. Just not enough to call it an qualified success.

Before week 12 , the team is averaging 3.9 yards per carry . Both McCaffrey and Stew averaging below 4 ypc is bad. Cam and all of the end arounds we did skewing the ypc pretty bad too.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
