From Aaron Wilson...

 

Panthers worked out Harvey Unga, Doug Worthington, Michael Brooks, Richard Clebert, Justice Cunningham, Maurice Hagens

 

Unga's a decent fullback that used to be with the Bears and Jags (I think he scored on us once).  Hagens is a 250 pound back that was previously with the Falcons.  Makes me think we might want someone to temporarily fill Tolbert's role (or at least be a healthy runningback).

 

Cunningham's a tight end who went to South Carolina.  The rest - Worthington, Brooks and Clebert - are all defensive linemen (Brooks went to East Carolina).

 

Also of note: Former Panthers safety Anderson Russell tried out for the Bucs.

 

No OL on the list.  Have to admit I find that surprising.

Sometimes I think Gettleman is trolling us by not at least trying out an offensive tackle

 

I think Getts has the (imo correct) philosophy that an O-line can only be good as a unit when there's continuity amongst the individuals. So if you keep unplugging and plugging various people in the O-line then they will never gel and be effective even if one player might be better individually.

 

Im as frustrated as anyone with our inept o-line but i know what it takes to get it moving in the right direction (as annoying as it is).

Yes, but we have only three tackles. Gary Williams went to IR and was never replaced. I think it's reasonable to expect an OL to be signed to replace him

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
