Five Players to watch tonight (Panthers.com)

[Mr. Scot]

From Bryan Strickland...

Five players to watch: Panthers at Steelers

The players named?  Kevin Norwood, Devin Funchess (means he'll play), Colin Jones, T J Heath and Scott Simonson.

One tidbit I took note of...

The Panthers' decision to part with cornerback Melvin White increases the chances that Heath can work his way onto the 53-man roster – a scenario that seemed highly unlikely when he was signed early in training camp to replace retiring corner Chris Houston. Could Heath, who has shown a knack for getting his hands on the ball, be this year's Fozzy Whittaker? There's also increased hope for undrafted rookie safety Dean Marlowe given Carolina's decision to waive Robert Lester.

Why is that notable to me?  Honestly, it's because I had completely forgotten that Chris Houston was ever even here this past camp (seems like forever ago).

Chris Houston is really only remembered for getting torched by Ted Ginn

Interesting that he doesn't have Brown on that list.

Interesting that he doesn't have Brown on that list.

it's a Panthers.com article, he isn't going to bring bad PR or Call out a player that "might" end up or being forced into a starting role

He's on a lot of lists, including mine.

Colin Jones?

I'd like to see Them feature Wegher tonight. They limited him to only two carries against the Patriots. Fizzy was given 23 attempts in this game last year. I'd like to see the same production for #32. I've seen the hype being discounted by others calling it overhype. But this kids (football)resume has every reason for the hype music that's been playing. Iowa H.S. Rushing record holder. Holds the Iowa Hawkeyes freshmen record for td's in a season. Holds the NAIA single season rushing record. And holds the all time rushing record at Morningside College where he only played for two seasons. And I found this one out the other day. In his last HS game which was the state championship, the score was 28-0. He scored every offensive td's in the came including a 99yd interception return for the games final td. Oh, and he kicked all the extra points..lol! He scored all the points! You just can't make that stuff up. We've got some good journeymen RB's, but this kid is something different..

Wegher's a fan favorite, no doubt. I know I'm pulling for him. As for his college exploits, I'd say his Iowa record is the most impressive. He outclassed everyone in the NAIA. And you forgot the FG he made in that HS championship game- 45 pts. total.
