Per J.Jones.Very confusing this whole affair.Vikings send out a press release saying that he will play.Would this also influence Hardys status? We will see.Impossible to predict what the team will do with him..now, tomorrow or next month...who the hell cares anymore.

If they bench Hardy until his court date.....that would mean he misses more games than he would face if the new outlined punishment was enforced.

So Hardy will be back at some point soon I would imagine. NFLPA will flex some of their muscle in all this too.

Teams probably need that to come to light too

How are the Panthers going to explain Hardy starting now.. You can't say due process because that's why he started against Tampa. The Panthers are gonna have to come up with something creative if they want Hardy back on the field. 

 

Vikings say Adrian Peterson will play this week. Now the Panthers are on deck to stick finger in the air to see which way wind's blowing.

The Panthers FO would have to do some serious PR work this week if they expect to play Hardy on Sunday.

 

 

I personally think there is no chance he plays, especially in the biggest primetime game of the week.

 

As I've said elsewhere, I would like to see a six game suspension (including yesterday) and then he comes back.

 

As Florio points out though, Hardyand the NFLPA would have a case against that.

 

It's all fugged up right about now.

    • Will be interesting to see how the Caps adjust. They were thoroughly beaten in this game despite it going to OT and they knew it by getting chippy. If they lose game 2 they’re in a hole they might not be able to dig themselves out of. They played old and tired tonight and I think they might get swept. 
    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
