Week 1 final injury report: Dennis Daley ruled out

CHARLOTTE — Starting left guard Dennis Daley has been ruled out of Sunday's season opener with the Raiders after missing four straight practices with an ankle injury. 

Veteran offensive lineman Michael Schofieldwill start in Daley's place. Schofield has started 66 career games, including 32 over the last two seasons for the Chargers. That gives him some familiarity with the Raiders' defense.

"He's had a good camp, so we're very excited to have him go out there and play," Rhule said.

Cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III(hamstring) and defensive end Stephen Weatherly (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday's contest. Weatherly was a limited participant in Friday's practice, but Rhule expects Weatherly to play though he realizes the defensive end's hamstring could tighten.

"There's always a level of concern," Rhule said. "He'll give us as many snaps as he can."

Linebacker Adarius Taylor also did not practice on Friday, but his absence was not injury-related.

Average at best is still pretty good for a 6th round pick. Average doesn't hurt you unless you're overpaying for average.

I'm not talking solely about quality.

The thing about lower round picks and undrafted guys is that often they look half-decent, but have only a limited shelf life.

Said it before: Predicting how good a guy is going to be is actually easier than predicting how long he's going to stay that good.

You guys are selling Daley short, hes going to turn out GREAT for a 6th. He'll be looking like the 2nd rounder and be in talks with Hardy about being the best 6th rounders in Panthers history. Playing LT as a rookie that went to camp training as a OG, thats a feat with every few f-ups.

Hey, I'd have no problem with that

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
