so the question is..

[bLACKpANTHER]

..are we resting Kemo and Beason, or are the really injurd?

they are arguably the 2 most important pieces of our defense and with such lack in depth across the board, it would be nice for other to get more snaps.

is this foreal?

[scpanther22]

As for Kemoeatu, his injury might be a little more serious. According to a team source, he was sent back to Charlotte for X-rays on his ankle

Probably a bit of both.

that is probably standard practice for guys that are the size of homes. We saw what happened in the Giants game w/ the DTs are avaliable......I still hope we pick up someone (a vet) prior to the season starting for depth.

this ought to be a nice wake up call to the FO. dwayne robertson is still available. btw, did darwin walker sign w/ someone else? i think remember hearing something like that.

But, how nice would it be if one of the rooks were able to step up in TC or preaseason games and secure the #2 spot (rather than just being labeled the back up)?!

I hope it's a break rather than a high ankle sprain. Heals a lot faster. Of course a regular sprain would be better. Actually, these two injuries on the first day of camp can be a positive thing. Gives two backups who sorely need experience the chance to do so...

Def need some backups brought into Charlotte... Takes 1 injury for us to be hurting. Can't think it will be a smart thing not bringing in someone who can carry the load.

Although, I hope Favorite grows up quick, because I feel he's going to get time regardless...

^^^You got me to thinking about something, but I should just hold on to it for awhile. This might be nothing in the long run. I hope so...

Okay, I'll bite. How are we gonna pay them?

it's not like it's impossible to find a way

[bleys]

No one knows what kind of cap room we have.. and like Raging said, we'll find a way.. Hurney really is one of the best when it comes to the cap..

I've been asking the question and heard nothing disputing this.. We had 2 mil under the cap, then we cut Lucas.. We signed rookies, that's it. Not sure the average signing rookies take, but we didn't have a 1st.. I'm guessing we lost 1 mil to do this?

So I'm not so sure we are totally strapped, even though a 1 mil left in the cap isn't much.. but perhaps enough to sign a guy or 2 who won't demand much money and wants to join a playoff caliber team...

Again, I have no idea what kind of room we have, and this is just a guess from events we do know about. Not even saying we have enough to sign someone, but I would expect that the coaches either have a plan or are extremely concerned. I was just stating, I would be concerned.. However, I think we have a little wiggle room and hope if that's the case, we are looking to bring in some depth.

Didn't take too long...

Not always sometimes breaks requre surgery and well thats never good. Still they prob are just being safe and it a simple sprain. Or I just hope it is.

Yeah, but a break from just running would only be a minor fracture and would heal in 4 weeks, while a high ankle sprain might take 8 or 9 weeks to heal. That's all I was saying...
