I Like Seeing All These New Guys Playing

[beastson]

Do you?

But of course prefer to see our regular starters playing

[PandaMan]

I'm liking what I've seen out of Keiser so far

[Jackofalltrades]

Ajiritutu finally got a reception, would like to see more for him, Edwards, Pilares and Adams.

[beastson]

I like Neblett. Soon as I was about to post it I see Panthers put up a new interview with him

[Lumps]

Maybe at first but a couple years of it is a little much. Obvioulsy we were 'internally stalled'. I'd much rather see veterans making smart plays than watching potential every year. If you're always planning for the future you'll never win anything in the present.

Senn is playing well, keiser too. Well see how the new DT rotation does in these coming weeks, depending on how they play they could be fighting for roster spots for next season and affect draft plans. I'd like to see Martin replaced soon maybe a Robert Lester in the draft

[Killa Cam 69]

Keiser will probably become a fan favorite very soon.. And i am honestly glad Fua will no longer be starting.. i hate he got hurt but i think at times he's played very soft. It will be really interesting to see who really steps up at DT.. Maybe this Shirley guy.. He is massive. And Senn has really impressed me also.. he plays much bigger than he is.

I like that they're getting meaningful snaps. I think that's a pretty key factor in their development. Regardless on opinions of what the team is capable of, they're not quite yet eliminated from the playoffs. There is also the potential of finishing 8-8, but even better: we can leave a few floaters in ATL, NO, and HOU cereal bowl.

That's assuming the defense can get it together and the offense can maintain momentum. I wouldn't bet on any of that, but it's nice that those possibilities give the players a little something extra to hustle for. A carrot on a stick if you will.

I've always thought that Neblett was a solid contributor (UDFA iirc) and Jordan Senn has as well. I think that Fua wasn't meant to start this season. He was drafted after McClain and would've been backing up Ron Edwards. From the scouting reports that I read on him, he's a very smart player but not exactly an elite athlete. I hope to see improvement next season when he's rotating in, as Rivera has said that he thinks players take about 3 years to develop. We'll see how he bulks up over the summer and whether or not he makes any improvements come preseason.

More Antwan Applewhite plz.

I love what Senn has done. Not because he is "the new guy", but because he has done what Jason Williams, Omar Gaither, Thomas Williams et al couldn't do, namely play his position with discipline and give us stability at OLB.

The emergence of Keiser as a solid situational player is encouraging.

Pilares is making the most of his opportunities.

I also believe LaFell is finally learning how to be a pro in this league.

Now if we could just get someone other than Gamble to step up in the secondary...

I see Hogan standing on the sideline. Wish he was ready this year

Yeah I would rather be winning with our starters but it is a good way to find young talent and get guys game experience.

I have to agree. The downside is that guys are inexperienced and make mistakes but the upside is that they get experience and will increase our depth next year when the starters get back if they don't take over as starters themselves.

I remember in 2004 we had the same kind of issue. Between finishing strong and having good rotations on both sides of the ball, it set us up for a very good 2005. I hope the same thing happens next year.

Keiser has made it to the field pretty fast and been in the right place at the right time over the past few games. Honestly I think the sacks and the pick he has gotten have all been more a result of Hardy/Johnson and the QB taking too long to get rid of the ball. But he isn't supposed to be a starter, so that's good to jumpstart a guy into a solid support role.

I don't care about other receivers outside of the starters. I'd keep Pilares around because of special teams and he has an interesting blend of speed and build that could be developed.

[The Saltman]

IM happy that we are getting people that would otherwise not play some playing time.

this way when our starters are healthy and if we sign some more in FA we can have some quality depth for a change.

Thats been our problem for years is quality depth.

We really need to make sure we get a number 2 corner, a starter quality DT and a Linebacker that can be regarded as a starter in this league.

Keep the people that have showed some potential as depth and I think we can build on that for the future.
