Wisdom tooth? He had double shoulder surgery. 

I'll see if I can find it, but I'm sure Rivera stated in a presser that he was out due to a wisdom tooth and then he ended up on IR.  Perhaps I'm missing some steps in between lol.

I see the potential, but I'm not nearly as high on Scarlett as some of you are...especially if he has to be inserted as the starter if CMC is out.

We'll see. But he does have a little speed (actually faster than CMC), and his hands were pretty good in the preseason. I think that as of this point, he's a long second as the best back drafted in years, but he's also a good distance ahead of the third (which in my mind was CAP).

So we like someone that has stayed hurt and barely played last two years. Sounds like a great Panthers move!

They poo him down for the surgery last year to get him healthy because they do like him. The hamstring this year is definitely an issue

Well, here’s your 18 class. 

I don't really take that too seriously as a measurement given that the guys who drafted them are also the guys who decide whether or not to keep them.

In all fairness, nearly all the prior draft class should still be on the roster, save late day 3 picks.   Otherwise a GM is admitting to the entire world they royally fugged up.  Even if there was a bust pick or two, GMs will generally afford two seasons before cutting bait in season three.

Holyfield is definitely a JAG but he’s a hard worker, good guy and comes from champion bloodlines. I get wanting to protect him just in case injuries happen though. You wanna keep guys who’ve been with you all preseason.

I detect a possible typo

I suppose that would be part of my assessment on Seymour. Injuries are part of the game. It’s not a personal attack on the guy. Just not sure how much value there is left in those legs.

But if they like what they see, I’m interested to see it too.

We had him on a pod and got the whole story

At least you can edit here. I can’t tell you how many tweets I’ve had to delete and re-tweet because of this....poo.

I remember that issue. I just don't think that's the reason why he went on IR.

What typo?  I think Seymour plays like poo.

I don't understand why they like someone who played very poorly when healthy and was so bad that he had to be benched.
