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.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      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!

      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!
