Darrin Reaves

He ran very very well today, breaking through contact and always running forward and not sideways. I think if Stew and DeAngelo both miss extended time then Reaves is good enough to step in and help out our run game. The interior of the line played very well today too which helped him but Reaves was great. Curious as to why Fozzy didn't get a carry. Thoughts on whether Fozzy or Reaves should be our guy next week if Stew can't go?

Fozzy was active but I think it was an emergency type of deal and they never intended to use him. Reaves started playing well and was replaced by obi for some reason. I think our RBs are good enough to win with if the oline can get it's poo together

My biggest question is why Reaves, a nobody, can run behind this line, but the dynamic duo can't seem to stop breakdancing in the backfield long enough to gain positive yardage?

 

he had 11 carries for 35 yards. stewart and williams have both performed better this year (against better defenses and in gloomier situations). they're just injured.

One group is working week to week & literally playing for their career & livelihood, the other group is raking in 10s of millions.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
