Who Impressed/Who Depressed vs Patriots

[CPantherKing]

I was depressed with Rivera for not playing Wegher more and earlier.

They obviously had a plan before preseason to put him on the practice squad even if he is the most dynamic RB on the roster. I think they are dumb enough to believe they can limit his touches and people will forget him.

Crazy thing is even with limiting his touches he still makes big plays and does not need any serious blocking to do it. He almost broke a big play with the knuckle ball from Webb during a broken play. I bet Shula and Rivera were praying he dropped that trash pass. He worked to set himself up for that opportunity. Wish we had more players like Wegher. The only other players that dynamic on offense I have seen in a Panthers uniform are Cam Newton and Steve Smith.

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.

Fozzy did play rather well tonight, but my stance is that Fozzy has hit his ceiling and it's relatively low.  He's serviceable, sure.  But it would kill me to let Wegher slip through our fingers in the interest of holding onto a 1980's Kirstie Alley when we could have a 1980's Alyssa Milano that could turn into a late 90's/early 00's Alyssa Milano.

Impressed:  Shaq, CAP, Ealy, Tillman, our D Line and basically entire 1st team Defense, Cam, Tolbert,

Solid:  Fozzy, Coleman, Josh, Bene, Ginn, Cotchery, Oher, Boykin, Boston, Simonson, Lucas

Depressed: Corey Brown, Folkerts, J Stew.

 

Didn't hear enough of:

Daryl Williams (assuming he impressed, don't think I heard his name all night on the radio call)

Wegher, Ward - hard to judge how they did??

Mike Brown - would like to see him get more reps right now.

On Wegher, I really think he will make the roster due in part to the fact that we may only have to cut 35 and not 37 given that Kelvin will go to the IR and Presley will go to the PUP.  Of course, we may have to make room for a WR signed off waivers..., but I can see Wegher making the roster.   Our run game is too crucial this season given the scary thinness at WR.

Guys that had a good game - Cam, Olsen, Oline before Folkerts got hurt, RB's except for Stew. Dline except for lack of pass rush. LB's and Derek Anderson and special teams had a much better night

Guys I fret about - Rivera for leaving Folkerts in after he got hurt even though he had the Remmers/Williams combo he could have played.  Stewart, I am ready to move on from him.  His slow, hunting a hole, approach is just not suited for our Oline anymore, the quicker, hit the hole guys are far better suited for us and if it weren't for his monster contract, I would cut him.  Brown had some mental block last night and needed to relax but his route running is getting much better and having a receiver that can get open is exciting.

Can't believe I left Olsen & Gano off my impressed list.  It's so easy to take these two guys for granted.  Gano is looking like it could be a pro-bowl season... good thing.  We need him on form!

He had 2 drops.

Had 2 drops against Miami, but the number for last night was 4 drops. He now has 6 drops compared to 1 catch for 5 yards.

So only Newton and Smith?

You never watched Deshaun Foster? Biakabatuka? Stewart? DeAngelo Williams early in his career?

All the above could take it the distance at any moment.

They all had home run speed, ability to catch the ball, could make guys miss, and the kicked here: they all had productive games in the regular season in games that mattered.

I like Wegher too, but simmer down now.

I'll have a more well-thought-out response once I actually see the game.  Just now getting to it.

Cam was 17/28 for 160 and a TD...  

We had about 4 drops  to add to that and left at least one TD on the field.  He had a hell of a game. That percentage would have been 75% if those passes were caught 

true true, at the very minimum if Corey catches that TD

OC had a good game......

execution held us back........should have been a blow out.

Shula always depressed me.

o line has impressed me all pre-season,, I expected them to look awful and they didn't.

next weeks "annual " Game with the "squillers " depresses me,, so much, I might not watch ,, ( liar liar )
