Fozzy Whitaker

If that were true, why was was CAP inactive, leaving Whittaker as the only option behind Stewart (other than Tolbert)?  I really don't get the insistence on keeping Fozzy active, or even on the team, when we got two young guys behind him that need reps.  He's had one or two good screen plays in his Carolina career, but otherwise has been ENTIRELY underwhelming.

Seemed like a no brainer to put Fozzy in and throw a screen when the Titans were completely selling out.

Whitaker may be in the doghouse after that horrible block in the back penalty last week. 

I really don't understand why he's ahead of CAP... CAP is better in pretty much every aspect except receiving and we don't even use Fozzy in the screen game (though we should if he's going to be active anyways) so I don't see why he's ahead of CAP.

If that's true I expect Joe Webb won't see the field next week.  The Swiss Army knife cost us big time today.

Yes, he made a mistake. Cost us big time? We won by 17 points. Good teams overcome penalties.

So we won't be seeing Joe Webb on special teams anymore by this logic, right? :P

Joe Webb has been our most consistent Special Teamer (in coverage at least). He made one mistake this season, but bailed us out multiple times. He's not going to end up in any doghouse. His one mistake just came at a 'costly' time (where we had a big return).

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
