Training Camp risers and fallers

B Hogan is turning in to a small version of Otah. Cannot stay healthy

Rising Harris I understand he had some nice punts

Carolina Panthers ‏

WR Armanti Edwards has shown improved pass-catching ability in camp thus far. Grabs nearly everything thrown his way.

Victor Cruz wasn't Victor Cruz until his second season.

Victor Cruz wasn't Victor Cruz until his second season.

well until he got on the regular squad. Cruz killed the preseason his first year, scored like 2 or 3 TDs on the jets on that monday night pre season game.

I thought Taye Biddle was gonna be a breakout star for the longest time.... :(

I too was guilty of the blind-homerism that is Taye Biddle thanks to the numerous training camp reports.

TuTu looked good last night. Seems Cam targets him a good bit. Also was impressed with Poole, I know we are stupid deep at rb, but guy runs low to ground and hard.

[csx]

Does Poole get any work as a returner?

[Section517CEO]

He didn't any last night. At least not in the session that I watched.

Cant wait to the Preseason games. Thats when you really get to see who makes it, and who does not.

FYI AE is always a workout warrior but disappears in real game action.

Over time I have found that is true with many of the WRs....look like superstars in camp and disappear when the hitting starts. Not Smitty though

Otah fell completely off the team

Rivera says Panthers ahead of schedule in camp

Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said today he feels like his team is ahead of schedule as it completes its first week of training camp.

There's still work to be done, however.

Rivera mentioned defensive end Charles Johnson as a player who can do more.

"Charles Johnson is very consistent right now but we need him to take it to another level. He's doing the things we want him to do but we want him to do more. That's why we have him here," Rivera said.

Rivera pointed out how impressive former South Carolina star Eric Norwood has been in camp as well as rookie defensive linemen Frank Alexander and Nate Chandler.

He also said receiver Armanti Edwards is having "an outstanding camp."

Rivera said the battle for punter and kicker are close and will be determined by how each player does in preseason games. He emphasized it's an open competition at both spot and no player has a particular advantage at this point.

The Panthers will have a full practice in pads tonight then back off on Friday before FanFest at Bank of America Stadium Saturday at 4 p.m. Rivera said the Panthers will treat the Saturday session like a normal practice, doing a variety of things including team drills with the offense going against the defense.

Jared Green is hopefully our Victor Cruz.

Everyone does realize that Green was a mediocre receiver on a bad mid level college team, don't you? Cruz was a star at Umass.

Everyone realizes that Green was a pretty good player at U.V.A. before graduating from Southern, right?
