Wow, um...ok. RT @RavensInsider #Panthers awarded RB Jerome Felton off waivers from Lions, beat out claims from Minnesota and Philadelphia.

makes things interesting

[Jackofalltrades]

That says RB, not FB.

You're right though, it is interesting.

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

He's supposedly a FB

winner. Felton is a FB, Fiametta to IR? RT @brianj321: @billvoth Do we know if he's more of a FB or HB? More to Fiametta's injury perhaps?

[Jackofalltrades]

I would agree with Voth on the notion of Fiametta being IR bound.

Personally I'd rather keep the extra roster spot at use Sutton more at FB.

[Ruff]

Maybe use Hartsock at FB?

Per Bill Voth's twitter account:

We need another RB like we need a hole in the head unless we're planning to trade someone, or someone is hurt that we don't know about yet...

Fullback! nothing to see here. Waiting on that waiver wire on Saturday

[ItsPantone278]

Felton is a former Pro Bowl Fullback and a definite upgrade considering our offensive issues.

[ItsPantone278]

With Schwartz done for the year we need to do everything we can to make sure we can still be productive rushing the football, and most importantly, protect Cam. We may not be able fill the guard position with someone the caliber of Schwartz and Felton is a solid veteran and I would bet he has played in this system before if not something similar. Not a big splash flashy move at all but one that makes a lot of sense.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'll take your word for it, I'm not familiar with the guy.

[Taom82]

Sutton has made a few remarks on twitter recently against ppl referring to him as a fb.

(In reference to Hartsock being used as a fb) Richie Brockel (listed as te) has been playing fb while Fiammetta has been injured. Hartsock seems to have been brought in to be the blocking te yang to shockey/olsen yin.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Former Pro Bowl you say? Not exactly the DT or CB we were all hoping for, but any time we sign a player who is/was once near the top of his position, then I can't say I object..

What does this mean for Fiametta though? He was a running/pass catching FB coming out of Syracuse, I really thought the new offense would benefit him. Perhaps we don't want a 'skill-player' FB and are looking for one that more of a blocker? Does this new FB fit that bill?

[PantherPhann89]

We've got Jackson that is a FB, but I guess this means tht he's gone. We've got RB's Sutton and Vaughan and TE's Hartstock and Brockel. I thought Hartstock would be our backup FB anyway. Does anyone know anything about Felton?
