Keep an eye on De'Andre Presley

Presley is still on the PUP but last week started to practice. He was returning punts along with Philly Brown.

The Panthers now have 2 more weeks to decide what to do with Presley, and last week Rivera indicated they would not rush a decision.

 

But the situation has changed, now Philly Brown is concussed and the Panthers are without a punt returner.

 

This team needs a spark, and Presley could be just that. It was obvious in practice he is far more quick shifty than anyone else on the Panthers offensive roster. Presley appears to have kept his cardio and speed in gameday shape. Blackburn will be active next week, which means Glanton will go back to the practice squad. The Panthers will have the room to move someone up to the active roster when that happens.

 

It would be a big gamble, but really, why not put Presley out there and see if he can shake a punt return loose for a long gain. Worst case scenario is he fumbles a punt, which Philly may have done anyways. If that happens, put Bersin back out there for a safe catch and return.

We always seem to cross our fingers and hope that some unknown quantity will step on the field and light it up. Still waiting to pull someone off the street or practice squad that is "that guy".

Because those are the feel good stories you root for as fans which is why we are still hoping for something out of Brandon Williams or Brenton Bersin.

I don't see these threads as promoting "The Next Great Practice Squad Hope" but rather an optimistic introduction to a player who might be on the field soon who most fans don't know much if anything about.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
