Who Impressed/Who Depressed vs Patriots

Old man Dwan Edwards was as impressive as anyone out there on 1st string tonight. Don't need to hear anyone calling for "youth" at DT because the man still has it covered. :)

Until #6 began punting line drives, special teams did very well. Color me impressed.

Corey Brown needs to sit. A guy in the row in front of us was counting his drops. 5 drops & 1 catch. He had his hands on every one of those 5 drops. You could tell Shula was giving him chances for redemption all night, he played all game, but he failed. Terribly.

Jonathan Stewart. I was deeply disappointed by his running. No other RB had as much trouble as he did. Maybe he does need to practice more.

Impressed: Defense (Especially LBs), Cotchery, Ginn, Olsen, special teams, McDermott, Tolbert, Lucas, Boykin, and Bersin.

Depressed: OL - Cam got hit way too much and they had trouble pushing the line against the Pats in the running game. Stewart showed no explosion, Whittaker showed why he is not an every down back. Todman was a rag doll hoping for a crease to show up. CAP was bad with less than 3 ypc on 6 carries and could not run over the smallest man on the field even with a 5 yard hole. CAP was a pinball that got smacked to the ground as soon as he met a player head on (just like college). It looks like he runs into a wall whenever he collides with a defender. Byrd had a horrible day. The third team defense.

SELF DESTRUCT: Corey Butterfingers Brown had a cut worthy performance that may have supplanted the worst preseason performance in Panthers history held by Jeff Lewis in 2001. That led to starting Weinke week 1 without reps in the preseason or training camp.

Horrible: Ron Rivera and Mike Shula with their play calling and game time decisions. Always go away from the players that get you the wins seems to be their motto until week 10. Someone needs to hire Rivera a team of big data sports psychologists as an analytic consultancy that can explain to him the impact of his game time decisions on the team as a whole.

He had 2 drops.

Him being a "fringe guy" depresses me.  Fozzy and Todman should be the fringe guys, in my opinion.

I'd say Todman is.  Fozzy is a matter of opinion.  He actually played well tonight.

Runningback depth is probably where the toughest choices are gonna have to be made.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
