Coach Rivera said in the press conference today that they would check his foot in the morning. If no swelling had occured from today's training session he would get an increased work load tomorrow. Rinse... repeat... all week long. 

I seriously doubt he is back this week. Would be amazing. 

I doubt he will be back next week. 

My guess is we will see him back against the Saints in week 3 at BoA. Important divisional game that is always close at home.

ease him back. he's important but we're deep.

Sorry, but don't see the depth you speak of. This team needs all its starters to have a chance at the playoffs.

Not sure how anyone would call the Panthers deep at any position outside of QB. Most teams have quality starters as depth. That is not the case in Carolina, and opposing teams will exploit that fact.

we might not be deep at nose tackle but we are deep along the defensive line in general. CJ demands two blockers, KK demands two blockers. this gives one-on-one matchups to whoever's rotating at RDE and whoever's at NT, unless either of those are elected for extra attention, in which case one of our other pro-bowl caliber rushers just has to beat a man.

add in the best linebacker corps in the league to plug any leaks and i'm far from worried.

I agree with letting him rest. If we can't beat the Jags, we just plain suck. Any given Sunday, yes...but we're talking about the Jags. 

Im really thinking that the addition of Shaq will allow Luke to be in more blitz packages as Tillman and Shaq can cover bigger receivers across the middle.

Star is a hole plugger for sure but any of our backups can play that role until he gets back to 100%.

I do not think you understand what roster depth is for a team. CJ and KK are not depth.

Dwan Edwards, Colin Cole, Kyle Love, Mario Addison, and Wes Horton. That is the depth. Can you put a formidable front up with any 4 of that group? And we have had this issue since 2011. Expecting different results by doing the same things is Gettleman/Rivera motto.

The LBs do not plug leaks. The DL keeps bodies off the LBs to allow them to move and get to the ball. A poor DL will decline the performance of even the best LB in the league.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
