Potential Camp Casualties that might interest the Panthers

In this thread we post players on other teams who are on the fringe. These are strictly prospects for depth, so please don't boo me on how I don't think Damione Lewis should start or whatnot. But the general concept is in the interest of depth, and the Panthers are lacking a little in that dept. at some positions.

Jay Alford (Giants)-Not only can Alford provide some good DT depth, however he also can play longsnapper. Which is good, because since Jason Kyle's gone it may be time to look for a 2 for 1 backup to save a roster spot as well as contribute on defense. The Giants DLine is stacked, top to bottom. At DT, If they keep only 4, they will start Robbins and Canty with Rocky Bernard and either Robbins or Alford backing them up. If they want to keep Robbins, who had some nice production himself, that means Alford's gone. If they want to keep Alford instead due to age reasons, Robbins would be the odd man out. But if it was Robbins, I wouldn't be so quick to pick him up due to the fact he's 32. Or maybe he too could contribute spelling Lewis, who knows...

if you're interested do some research, and see if you can find some players whose jobs are not so secure heading into the season.

Jay Alford isn't going anywhere...

    • There wasn't a moment of the day that I couldn't at least hear helicopters.
    • Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.  I have no issue with people wanting other players over T-Mac, or just not wanting him at all.  But they need to be logical reasons, not made up ones in your head because you don't actually know the player and his abilities.
    • I'm pretty sure that was the best season he's ever gonna have.
