Panthers sign Lee Ward

Carolina Panthers sign Stanford fullback Lee Ward. Ward is listed on the Panthers roster as being 5'11 246lbs. 

 

I noticed him today during one on one pass drills where he looked pretty good catching balls out of the backfield. With Mike Tolbert's roster shot not being a sure thing this season and Richie Brockel being hurt last season, Ward could have an opportunity to showcase his skills and make a case for himself.

Brockel's spot more in jeopardy than Tolbert's imo. Tolbert's been reliable on 3rd downs and in the red zone. It's not a coincidence the offense sank when he went on temporary IR then revived when he got healthy. 1-7-1 without him vs. 6-1 with him.

Hell he probably IS the best fullback in the league when healthy.  He doesn't have a history of injury problems either... poo just happens sometimes.

Dude was as instrumental as anybody to our success in 2013.  Plenty more plays than the ones above and he laid out some pretty big clutch blocks in crucial moments.  That game winning TD pass to Hixon against the Saints for one.  Tolbert chipped the LBer (or safety, can't remember) who had a free run right at Cam just enough to throw him off balance and let Cam get the pass off.

    • What a great position to be in.  We have so many WRs that can make the team.  What I love about this group is that several of them are physical beasts.  6'3" or more.   You have big WRs in the line up. Somewhere is going to be a mismatch.  I am interested in seeing what Meiga brings to the room.  A huge, long shot but like Coker he is big and just never really caught on in college.  You never know.  Maybe he shows enough to make the PS.  I am also interested in seeing what Horn does.  Hopefully, he finds some footing with this team.  I hope that with a year under his belt he steps up and really puts DM in a posiion to make a hard choice.   Moore has never really been one of my favorites but he seems to have Canales in his back pocket. 
    • And honestly, for me (while keeping it all in perspective within this context of course), a fun Sunday is when the Panthers win, a not-so-fun Sunday is when they lose. 
    • Yeah, I thought the whole purpose was based upon reputation, not betting. Pie actually serves a purpose, and now it seems like it's being watered down to meaningless. Some other form of "rep" for being able to guess and bet if that's your cup of tea alongside our traditional pie would have been better in my opinion.
