8-12-13 Training Camp

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

@josephperson: #Panthers DBs have been doing extra running this week to prepare for Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense. #Eagles ran 86 plays last week vs. NE.

@josephperson: First half. RT @Millertime8921 @josephperson how long will the starters play in Thursdays game?

@jjones9: Tolbert (right hamstring) told me if the regular season were to start to day, he'd "absolutely" be ready to go. #Panthers

@Panthers: Go Time. #KeepPounding http://t.co/0SEVvEnDKk

@jjones9: Kugbila not in pads today

@jjones9: Pianalto Hixon and Armanti on bikes

@jjones9: Adams and Senn not in pads

@SteveReedAP: Edwards, Beason, Hixon, Tolbert, Stewart, Kugbila, Senn among those not practicing for #Panthers today.

@Panthers: Kugbila, A. Edwards, Hixon, Stewart, Tolbert, Beason, Pianalto, Senn and Adams not practicing today.

@josephperson: Full pads on a hot day in Spartanburg.

@Panthers: Offensive line rocking the sled. http://t.co/f2SdaNRsgd

@Panthers: Stay loose. #PanthersCamp http://t.co/mGhHcM6ml1

@josephperson: Chris Scott working first team at right guard.

@daringantt: Nothing against Chris Scott, I'm sure his family loves him. But this basically screams "we're waiting for final cuts to find a starting RG."

@Panthers: Monsterz Inc http://t.co/dX7SJ2PFEO

@jjones9: Good catch by Gettis from Cam on corner

@Panthers: WR @kealohapilares fields a punt. #PanthersCamp http://t.co/Y93AV5GKrp

@josephperson: No sign of Garry Williams today. Thus, Chris Scott with 1st tm.

@josephperson: Apparently, Williams left w/ some type of illness.

@josephperson: No sign of OT Bruce Campbell, who hurt his shoulder in game vs. CHI. Rivera seemed concerned last night about severity of it.

@jjones9: Olsen from Cam over the middle. Josh Thomas on coverage in nickel

@jjones9: Cam to DeAngelo in the flat. Quick secondary read

@josephperson: Olsen catches Cam pass over the middle. Would have paid a price in live drills. Mitchell was closing in.

@josephperson: Smith goes high for nice catch. #ballspin

@jjones9: Defense has back turned to offense. Turn to the front at clap coming out of huddle. Prepping for Philly http://t.co/XwbdC470d3

@mikepersinger: Wonder what's going on in Panthers training camp practice? Find out with our live updates. http://t.co/ha8ezYxk69

@josephperson: Ted Ginn, LaFell and Barner fielding punts.

@josephperson: Tweeted this last night: Gano has been money this camp.

@josephperson: Calf strain. RT @hendemc: @josephperson What's happened to Joe Adams?

@josephperson: Thunder rolling in distance here in Spartanburg.

@jjones9: Thunder rolls as Panthers enter team drills

@josephperson: Josh Thomas getting first-team reps today.

@Panthers: With today's crowd at @woffordcollege, a total of 44.3K fans have joined us to watch the #Panthers practice in Spartanburg!

@Panthers: Including fan fest, just under 70K fans have watched a #Panthers training camp practice this year. Thanks for your support, #PantherNation!

@josephperson: KK Short has to come out, dragging vs no-huddle offense.

@josephperson: Brockel caps no-huddle drive w TD catch from Anderson.

@josephperson: Gettis catches deep pass from Cam.

@josephperson: Panthers bringing metal cranes holding videographers down. Thunder. And now practice a wrap.

@jjones9: Practice wrapping early with thunder

@jjones9: Rivera: Another week for Hixon and Kugbila

@josephperson: Edwards likely out this week.

@josephperson: Sorry. Armanti. RT @rodney_marner @josephperson which one?

@jjones9: Bruce Campbell injured rotator cuff. Will require surgery. May be season ending but Rivera is unsure

@josephperson: Rivera: Bruce Campbell To have rotator cuff surgery. Might be season-ending.

@josephperson: Hixon and Kugbila Out for another week.

@josephperson: DE Louis Nzegwu missed practice -- personal reasons.

@jjones9: Rivera does not plan to fill Zordich's spot at the moment. Def not a FB. "Doesn't make a lot of sense" at this point, he said

@Panthers: OT Bruce Campbell suffered a rotator cuff injury and will require surgery. Ron Rivera was unsure if Campbell would be out for the season.

@josephperson: #Panthers getting thin along the offensive line: Campbell to have surgery, Kugbila suffers setback. http://t.co/PILEio0bsY

@daringantt: Not that Bruce Campbell was any good, but if he's out for the year, Panthers have to go get some help. Wharton makes too much sense.

@jjones9: Few teams are deep along the offensive line. The Panthers are falling into a new subcategory, though http://t.co/5ezL3LBetd

@SteveReedAP: Ron Rivera says backup OT Bruce Campbell will need surgery to repair a rotator cuff injury. Isn't sure if he will be lost for the season.

@josephperson: Piggie's not coming back through that door. RT @Matt_McKenzie1 @josephperson Guessing bridge has been burned too much to re-sign Hangartner?

@Panthers: VIDEO | Center @ryankalil talks about building chemistry on the offensive line: http://t.co/o5tg3wYtlO

@Panthers: Today's #Panthers Notebook features updates on Tauren Poole, Kenjon Barner and Captain Munnerlyn: http://t.co/stMjgohr8F

@josephperson: When his price drops. RT @OzzMan17 @josephperson Wharton finally coming?

@josephperson: OT Garry Williams and S Haruki Nakamura had to leave practice due to illness. That's going around. C Ryan Kalil said he wasn't feeling well.

@jjones9: Rivera sounded very optimistic for Jonathan Stewart to be ready by Week 1. Said his rehab is on track

@josephperson: Yes. RT @como12 @josephperson is Gettis going to be used more with the first team?

@jjones9: I've asked Kugbila about this injury (seems to me like a recurring injury). Said he's never had anything like it before.

@jjones9: Developed soreness in his leg early in OTAs. Then the hamstring the first day of camp. Now this setback yesterday. Frustrating for everyone

@Panthers: Get all of the day's news, interviews and analysis from training camp live on your computer at 7PM: http://t.co/7MCqb6Bs3H | #CampDaily

@Panthers: OT Bruce Campbell likely out for season: http://t.co/PwqXU19DHI

@josephperson: Depends on how these other guys play and/or if they can agree on $. RT @Gabeking @josephperson is Wharton a real possibility now?

@Panthers: Another practice is in the books! Check out the photos from today's session here: http://t.co/h2GHmAGX9i http://t.co/DETLISNsSI

Kugz!

[UNCrules2187]

lol I'm all for giving Kug the benefit of the doubt...but homie's headed to IR.

Kugbila needs to suck it up. Jeff Otah 2.0

[Admiral Ackbar]

I was hoping to see Hixon play on thursday  :(

[CRA]

Kugbila needs to suck it up. Jeff Otah 2.0

Otah at least balled out the gate....and dominated.

[Tarheels23]

I sure hope we don't just give Hixon a spot by default.

[UNCrules2187]

I sure hope we don't just give Hixon a spot by default.

 

Agreed. If he can't play/practice before first cuts, I think it'd be a shame to keep him over someone like Gettis who's been with the organization for a couple of years.

[FootballMaestro]

Gonna love to see how the Panthers defense does against Chip Kelly A guy they could have probably gotten, if they really wanted him); albeit in preseason. And of course, let's see how Kelly does during the rest of the year?

 

I think some Huddlers, may regret completely dismissing and ignoring him? Hopefully not. Cause if that's the case, then that means, Ronnie and the Panthers had a great year. 

 

We'll see, find out soon enough?

[Ivan The Awesome]

Kugbila needs to suck it up. Jeff Otah 2.0

 

Otah was a first round pick. Kug was selected in the 4th as a project. Far from Otah bro. Far from it.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Agreed. If he can't play/practice before first cuts, I think it'd be a shame to keep him over someone like Gettis who's been with the organization for a couple of years.

 

I agree with that to a certain extent....I would like to see Hixon get a few reps in with the 1st string offense in a preseason game so we all could see his abilities. If anything, it would make the WR battle that much more interesting 

[SCP]

Otah at least balled out the gate....and dominated.

His tweets make me think he's a "just happy to be here" kind of guy. I'm not sure what Gettleman saw in him. You watch that DII national title game and he didn't impress me that much. A DII guy thats drafted should stand out as dominant when you watch him in college and Kugbila did not look dominant against WSSU.

[PantherFeez]

Joe Person ‏@josephperson1m

Chris Scott working first team at right guard.

 

I might be the only one who noticed he did well on 3rd string. He was the only linemen not missing his blocking

[SIGCHI222]

Oh, Kugbila...
