I'd' move Byrd to practice squad and keep Cotch; and keep Tolbert over Todman 

People underestimate the necessity for a solid vet like Cotch

Tolbert is still extremely effective at catching the ball out of the backfield and will be an absolute necessity safety line for Cam this season 

that doesn't quite jive with your youth movement

Panthro making a great point about the comp pick.  Wegher has proven his worth, and looks solid on ST.  Cut Trusnik, hope we get the 3rd round comp, keep Wegher...everyone profits. 


Tolbert would surprise as a cut, but it may have to be done.  Any chance Ward would make it to the practice squad?  I could see them stashing him for now, and should Tolbert or even a RB go down, bring up Ward.

Don't see Cotch being cut at all, though.  Even in the Camp Confidential videos the team has been doing, Cotch's role as a leader has been talked about.  Can't see them cutting him and rolling with a super young group (outside of Ginn) after KB has gone down.

I wouldn't describe catching less than 30 passes three years straight as "extremely effective" 

Wouldn't you wonder what another RB with some speed would've done with that catch? 

Only thing he does better than the other RBs outside of Stewart is pass block.

Yes please.  Love this.  I think going this route would 'possibly'  impact us,  slightly negatively,  this year (but maybe not) but could pay huge dividends going forward. 

 

Also,  it would be interesting to see how favorably this impacted the cap.

might have been a bit of an exaggeration- he's dependable when healthy that's for sure and is a beast at the goaline which I left out

There would be a lot of 'WTF are they doing!!' if Tolbert didn't make the team, but those people probably haven't seen Ward in action. As for Tolbert being a better ball carrier than Ward, the depth we'd have with CAP, Todman, and Wegher backing up Stewart takes care of that. I don't know how the coaching staff feels about Tolbert vs. Ward, or even if it's an either/or deal to them, but it makes sense to me.

I think they'll still go with what they think is the best 53, but if it means losing a potential future starter in order to keep a guy who's already played 10 or more years, then I hope the vet can still produce.

If you have each RB 10 attempts from the 2 yard line, do we really think Tolbert would be obviously more effective than everyone excluding Stewart? 

He's been pretty stoppable lately. Anyone remember that 3rd & 9 draw in the first half? He runs 7 yards untouched straight into a tackler. A different back might've made a move for the extra 3. 

I'm always left thinking what someone else would've done with that carry.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
