Reserve defenders step up to end 1st goal line work of camp as Mario Addison and Jason Williams stuff run play on fourth down.

 

[Growl]

Why are we refusing to add offensive line players when it's clearly such a weakness?

 

We're scrambling just to have enough bodies there, much less a full 5 starter set we're fully confident in.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

How many linebackers do we usually carry... 6 or 7?

[IGSaint]

Why am I hearing more about clausen and anderson than cam? I don't give a poo about those two lol.

At this point that's probably THE question that needs to be answered. RR said they're comfortable with Williams in at RG and weren't looking to add anyone like Wharton or Moore.

So to a degree you want to trust them, their perspective and knowledge of the team. But to the outside observer it's a glaring need that just seems to be going unaddressed.

Gotta save our pennies for a rainy day.

At this point that's probably THE question that needs to be answered. Gettleman and RR both said they're comfortable with Williams in at RG and weren't looking to add anyone like Wharton or Moore.

It's not even just this. It's more than the apparent deeply rooted hope that Garry Williams is some rare breed of talent who will save the right side of our line. It's more than hoping Byron Bell will improve enough to be formidable.

 

It's also relying on last year's beloved UDFA Jeff Byers to be able to learn and capably back up three positions along with a slew of practice guys who have no business on an NFL roster.

 

We've salvaged some financial space this year. Now use it to give the OL, and henceforth, the offense, and the team, a chance this year.

Nice sideline catch by Smith.

Agreed.

No. He won't be tomorrow either. RT @jgenovere11: @josephperson is panthers new guard Scott starting today ?

Star gets a good push on Folkerts into Cam. Folkerts one of several young guys getting obligatory first team reps today

 

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 20m

Guy who's having a good camp: undrafted fullback Mike Zordich out of Penn State.

 

[Floppin]

Hah, Star pushing around some scrub OL camp fodder. I bet that guy's really enjoying his first team reps. 

[Growl]

the Folkerts

Some guy named Folkerts getting first team reps?

 

[chknwing]

something tells me, after the chicago game, Gettlemans eyes will open and will see the glaring need on OL.
