Who is the Panthers 3rd string halfback?

[Lone Buc Fan]

Trying to figure out who it is with Nick Goings gone. Wondering so if one of your backs get hurt, who will be the spell guy?

[Fox007]

It will probably be Birmingham, or someone we pick up during or after the draft.

Birmingham looked good to me during the pre-season last year, but he will definitely have to serve on ST if he is going to stick.

[Lone Buc Fan]

Man that sucks being unsure of that lol... I figured this was a good place to ask though.

If were down to our 3rd string RB were screwed anyways.

[Fox007]

If we need our 3rd string RB, we aren't doing anything anyway.

Either Williams or Stewart could go for 25+ carries a game if they had to for a few weeks.

[AKPantherFan]

i actually hope we pick up Dunn and let him run wild on returns.

[Lone Buc Fan]

The Bucs wore Dunn down last year but he might be able to do a fill in role for you guys. I'm sure he has some left in the tank. Your guys problem would be having the money to sign Dunn and your draft picks. That is unless something happens with Peppers soon.

Yeah, you saw that in the Green Bay game. Stewart was cramping up so rather risk injury they just went to DWill the whole game. He got what? 4 TDs?

[Lone Buc Fan]

Well, I know it seemed like Stewart came out of the draft from a injury and was hurt a few times during the year. DeAngelo isn't going to pop out 4 touchdowns every game like you put in that instance. Williams IMO is the best halfback in the NFL talent wise but all it takes is one good shot, or one fat lineman falling on his knee to end his season.

We have the luxury of having two starting RB's on our team, either of which could be an old school 30 carry a game type of RB.

Obviously that isn't ideal, but it can be done if needed. And yea he got 4TD's, was awesome :biggrin:

[Lone Buc Fan]

Yea, I built alot of respect for DeAngelo... even before the MNF game. I don't deny someone's talent if they back it up like he did. DeAngelo opened alot of eyes but still gets a knock from people for some reason... when you have guys like LT who are constantly hurt year after year and fail in comparison of D in the same year. Guess thats why NFL fans bash me for saying DeAngelo is the best halfback in the NFL.

Another thing to note, the guy fumbled 0 times all year.

[HSCBandit07]

best stat in my eyes - the 0 fumbles...

The first time we play the sucks you'll see our 3rd string back the entire second half. Double trouble will be taking a break as the game will be well in hand.

oddly enough the last time williams got around 25 carries he scored 4tds against the giants
