Lee Ward / Artis Payne Combo

[Jeremy Igo]

I want more looks of this in preseason game two. The Panthers have something here and need to explore it more. 

 

If Nate Chandler wasn't tossed aside by the DE, could have gone for more.

i do enjoy watching ward work

[Donald LaFell]

Artis-Payne is the most patient rookie running back we've had in a while, no dancing. 

[Paa Langfart]

Damn Lee is a quick beast

Yeah that's the one play I can remember where they ran behind Ward. I definitely want more of that. Hopefully the coaches think that too.

Love CAP's running style. Gonna be hard to keep him off the field. 

[Billy Love]

I agree totally. I would even take it a step further and say " I just want to see more Lee Ward" as full back period. How about Lee and Wegher, Lee and Stewart, it's 4th down and goal, ball is on the 2 yard line...no problem...Lee Ward and Mike Tolbert. If ward doesn't make the 53 man roster over Richie Brockel I will be pissed. I'm no NFL talent scout but I can see we have something special in Mr. Lee Ward, gotta make room for Brandon Wegher too! Tough decisions are ahead for DG.

This.  Brockels time has played out. If he makes the 53 over Ward I'm gonna be real upset with this coaching staff. Ward brings something to the team it needs a real punishing blocking FB.

Brockel just taking up a roster spot.  Does nothing special

Waive Folkerts,  use Remmers as backup center,  Williams as backup RT,  keep Ward and Brockel?

Works for me.

I like this scenario but rather than keep brockel, keep wegher. I just have a good feeling about Wegher and Ward. I just don't think we need both ward and brockel.

[Wundrbread33]

Love Ward, but this makes me wonder...when are we going to realize that Chandler just doesn't have it.

[MHS831]

I am with the "What exactly does Brockel actually do?" camp.  I know that he is versatile, is a fair to good blocker, but Ward punishes.  The "eye in the sky" don't lie, people.  I am sure that Rivera, a former LB, appreciates a stud FB when he sees one.

Unfortunately or strategically, there will be injuries (actual or not) that put players on the IR.  Ward will find a roster spot.
