First Down Brenton Bersin

Brenton Bersin is the feel good story of the year. A guy out of Wofford College that grew up in Charlotte as a Panthers fan is now making a real difference for the team on the field. Quite a few folks here have Stephen Hill replacing Bersin on the regular roster, but I don't see it happening. All Bersin does is exactly what he is expected to do, namely make a catch when called upon.

 

I asked Brenton about his role on the team.

 

"I only go in when Cotch, Avant, or Kelvin get a breather" Bersin replied. "So I gotta be ready to go no matter what."

 

Bersin now has 4 completions in the NFL, 3 of which were for first downs. "I try to get a first down after every catch" he remarked.

 

One thing I noticed was how well Bersin wraps up the ball after the catch.

"I go in there for maybe one or two plays a game, I can't fumble."

 

Bersin gets it.

 

Brenton is the ideal role player at WR for this team. He understands what he can do, and just as importantly what he must never do.

Not shifty enough for punt returns. He is back there on kickoffs though.

 

I thought the response would be in relation to his speed and quickness, but to be honest, I think it most benefits the team right now to have sure hands back there.  I like Philly and want him to succeed, but if another ball ends up on the ground, I think a change is necessary.

 

If Bersin could just fair catch or run straight ahead when he had the room, I would take that.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
