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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
