Has KB been on the sidelines?

Really good read there, everyone should check that out.

As far as him being on the sidelines, here is a quote from the article.

Benjamin said he hopes to start watching home games from the sideline, beginning with the Oct. 25 matchup against Philadelphia. But to this point he’s watched every game from home.

“I’m yelling at the TV every Sunday,” he said. “That’s what I’m going to keep doing until I get back on the field.”

I just hope he doesn't lose any speed and is spending a lot of time in the film room and is able to do some work, building strength, on his upper-body. 

KB was never that fast anyway. He is more of a position gguy. Even with that it's not the late 70s where a ACL tear has major effects.

I tore mine 2 weeks after KB did. 3 weeks post op right now. KB said they made him use crutches for nearly a month(almost excessive). 

Docs told me to be really careful early on. It feels very unstable at first and a fall would be catastrophic,  considering how hard you have to work before surgery and after to get range of motion back. To have to do that again would be brutal.

When they feel he can be safe on the sidelines they will probably let him be there.

NFL sidelines are dangerous - between Sean Peyton's own players wrecking his knees and Kaepernick throwing darts at peoples heads. Better safe than sorry.

    • I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?
    • LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.  
    • After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
