Tight Ends - Ton o Talent, will we use it?

Panthers have been paying into the Tight End kitty for a while but so far not getting the performance I have been anticipating in the passing game. Running game has been rocking as we all know in part due to superior tight end blocking

Jeff King, great blocking back with good hands, got a big contract.

Dante Rosario started last season off with a bang with that game winning catch in San Diego and he had a great game overall as Steve Smith was suspended.

Gary Barnidge has many people excited about his potential . . . 6'5" speedy guy who can stretch the field as well as a good blocker

I used to watch Shannon Sharp bail out John Elway time and again on third and long or as plays broke down. And Wesley Walls was the man inside the 20 yard line for the Panthers !

Hope that new Quarterback coach helps Delhomme learn to use these guys more. I love to see our Tight Ends get twice as many passes thrown their way this year and make more than twice as many catches!

the reason we don't use our TE's like we should and went through a spell prior to King where we acquired the position mainly for blocking has a great deal to do with the one behind center. That game is just not his bag. And when I say "that game" I am talking about finding the open man and making the easy play.

Unless the NFL let's us have multiple players wear the #89 no because that's the only # Jake Delhomme throws to.

Careful careful. The snugglers will be upon you and claim victory for your use of the word "only". Great heaps of stats are about to be dumped on you for that.

For the record I know what you mean though and you should not worry about the snugglers. They can't help that they like Jake and they have the right to. Just realize that your opinion and position on the matter will be constantly reinforced by the vehement defense that comes from the "other side". To me that always says a lot.

I think the shift in what we have been targeting has changed to more pass catchers and athletes than immobile, hands of stone meat-heads and that encourages me for two reasons.

That Jake is going to have more outlets to use as soon as he figures out how and that a new QB coming in will have a small stable of help to bail him out as he adjusts to the system.

I think all three are studs.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' Week 9 win over Saints

      By jtm · Posted

      Bad teams are generally thin at most positions and it takes time to build the reserves.  I think Morgan put a lot of stock in Wonnum producing and this has been a big disappointment.  Brown and Shaq's injuries were significant and despite what us fans say, the defense is much better with Shaq on the field.

      Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

      Wallace is still raw won't really know anything until at least next season. I'm going to be brutally honest and say other than Coker who seems to be developing by sheer determination and a chip on his shoulder for going undrafted I've seen very little development from the wide receivers this season. That's one of my biggest issues with Canales and his staff. Really need to see some strong bright spots for the second half of the season. All we know for certain on the subject that is the Young vs Stroud saga is that Tepper pushed for Bryce he told us even well before the draft he spoke to Bryce and informed him he wanted him to be a Panther. Like I said. We have only a small sample size by which to judge Morgan's tendencies in the draft. Have to wait until next year for more answers. But he needs multiple homerun picks in the next two drafts if he's going to be successful here. Even shitty Marty Hurney had some of those.

      Zane Durant- DT

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You are right to target DT---our DTs are on skates.  Brown and another stud would allow us to bring along edge rushers and get by without studs on the outside.  In my view, a DT who can collapse the pocket and keep the qb in front of him is more valuable than a stud Edge (would you rather have a Chris Jones or a Bosa?  To me, Brown and a stud DT would make the edge rushers and ILBs better.
