Panthers.com: Five Standouts From Last Night


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

From Bryan Strickland (link)

RB Cameron Artis-Payne

He carried the ball 10 times for 65 yards in the first quarter alone – on five of Carolina's first seven snaps and then on each of the first five snaps on the next drive. He gained at least five yards on six of those 10 carries.

OL Daryl Williams

Williams got the start on the right side and played most of the game there. He gained valuable experience and helped the running game accumulate 226 yards to go with 228 passing yards and no sacks allowed.

WR Brenton Bersin

Bersin just kept doing what he does – catching the ball when it comes his way. He paced the passing game's balanced attack with four receptions for 29 yards on five targets. Bersin finished the preseason with seven receptions – tied for first among receivers still on the roster – for 88 yards.

DE Mario Addison

The defense played its typical physical style as a unit, and Addison made a relatively atypical play given his style. Normally reliant on a burst of speed, Addison manhandled an offensive lineman, pushing him into the lap of quarterback Michael Vick for a sack.

LB Jason Trusnik

Head coach Ron Rivera said special teams will play a role in how the 53-man roster is selected, and that could be good news in a crowded linebacker room for Trusnik. The eight-year veteran who signed with Carolina in the offseason also reminded folks that he can play a little linebacker as well, leading the Panthers with six tackles including a tackle for loss.

Now if you believe (and I do) that reading Panthers.com can sometimes give clues to what the Panthers have in mind, then this article may interest you for who it features, and who it doesn't.

(mind you, I wouldn't consider it definitive, just interesting)

On a similar note, I've seen a lot of Marcus Lucas on the Panthers Twitter page today.

    • First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps. 
    • It's not the only issue. She said it was the "biggest" issue. lol 
    • The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
