Shelton was put on IR, because he had such a bad pre season that the staff could'nt justify putting him on the team over Robertson. And had shelton been put on the practice squad. Someone else would have given him a chance on there 53 man roster. Him getting hurt last pre season could end up beng one of the best thins that ever happend to us. If he can contribute this year. Which I really really hope he can do.

Yep, he very well may just need some practice and coaching. Playing at UL, he shared the backfield with two other guys. They had the luxury of being able to use each guy in a specialty role. Shelton was basically used as a sledgehammer runner. He had ridiculously high YPC and TDs. However, sharing the backfield with other guys may have hampered his development since other guys could be used on passing downs. Why would they bother to develop Shelton's blocking and receiving abilities when they had other guys that were better at these roles? They simply played the other guys on passing downs and let Shelton hammer away.

Look back at the early career of Stephen Davis and you'll read about similar issues to those that Shelton is having now. Whether Shelton works as hard as Davis did and overcomes them remains to be seen.

Honestly, his "broken foot" (however valid...or not) was likely a good thing overall. The coaches knew he wasn't ready last year, but putting a second round pick on the practice squad just isn't done (especially not after you just put your third rounder there).

I think a backfield of Chester Taylor, Nick Goings and Eric Shelton could be interesting.

If all else fails couldn't we do the same thing with him?

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
