Would not be surprised if we see a Clowney for Trent Williams swap. Kind of makes sense for both teams.

Following the Houston despair re: Matt Kalil and their hopes for Trent Williams is kind of popcorn-worthy.

Deshaun Watson should threaten to holdout if they put Matt Kalil at starting LT. He's already blown out his knee and hasn't gotten to that second contract where the big money rolls in. He can't afford to play a season behind Matt Kalil.

It appears we are on the hunt for a big back... with the front office knowing it’s go big or go home... do you think we stay put, trade or wait for cuts?

 

MMQB's Albert Breer reports the Panthers are trying to find a backup who can "ideally" take "a lot" of Christian McCaffrey's short-yardage and goal-line work.

Last year, six of McCaffrey's seven rushing touchdowns came on runs inside the four-yard line, and 17.6-percent of his total carries came with less than three-yards to go. If the Panthers find a capable short-area back, that would somewhat limit McCaffrey's ceiling. But the good news is the Panthers backup backs (Jordan Scarlett, Reggie Bonnafon, and Cameron Artis-Payne) aren't exactly big threats. Not to mention McCaffrey's insane passing-game workload. While it's a situation worth monitoring, this likely amounts to close to nothing for McCaffrey's fantasy value. He still needs to be drafted within the first four picks.

Wasn’t there a report last year that we weren’t going to use him in goal line situations and hen he proceeded to have by far the most red zone and goal line touches of anyone, even more than Cam...

Hey guys Cam was our big power back and now we are protecting him even more. CMC aint the power back at all. We need to get a legit power back like I have been saying. Yes im tooting my own horn because you guys gotta understand cmc is small and is not a power back at all. Thats asking him to do something he physical is not prepared for night in and night out. This isnt madden these are humans.

What makes you think we'd use him anymore than we used Anderson last year? We drafted Scarlett in the 5th and Holyfield and CAP will probably battle it out for the 3rd spot. Per usual, we'll probably only carry two active in game days.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
