The Carolina Panthers have signed five players to their practice squad. All five players attended training camp and were with the Panthers through the preseason before being waived in the final roster cutdown on Saturday.

PRACTICE SQUAD

Pos Player Exp College

QB Hunter Cantwell R Louisville

WR Jason Chery R Louisiana-Lafayette

DT George Hypolite R Colorado

LB Mortty Ivy R West Virginia

LB Kelvin Smith 2 Syracuse

Each NFL club may carry a maximum of eight players on its practice squad. Practice squad players may not play in games without being signed to the 53-man active roster.

I haven't even heard of those LBs. Bullshit if you ask me.

If only huddlers actually paid attention to their team.

Both those LB's were playing well for us this preseason. Kelvin Smith was near the ball on every play and Morty Ivy was playing well too.

I'm convinced you guys just like to bitch for the sake of bitching.

I think we've got enough running backs on the 53-man roster. Why bother adding another to the practice squad? :P

LOL

I was just going by what they have had in the past. And remember that the PS isn't just about being a good player. Fox will be looking to add players to PS that could used to help gameplan agaisnt similar players in future games.

I know many people will be upset that Leman isn't on the PS but considering that most LB we play this season will not be "all heart, slow speed" then keeping him probably would not help us with preparing for other teams.

Am I right in saying that it's very possible that the reason Leman and Favorite may have not been signed is that they have been claimed by another team ahead of us in pecking order to fill their own practice squad. Anyone know what players we had during training camp have landed on other practice squads? And if we still sign say, a vet DT, all we have to do is cut someone off our 53 man roster, like maybe a rookie running back formerly with Green Bay, for instance.

Teams can't take players from our PS to put into their own PS. They can only take them away if they put them on their active roster, so I doubt that's the reason.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
