Panthers Work Out Cortland Finnegan

Recommended Posts

Not sure I want to mess with team chemistry now unless necessary due to Tillman's prognosis, etc.  But wow, to work out players on Friday after Thanksgiving after just winning a blowout to get to 11-0.  That shows me our team - incl our Front Office - is not willing to rest on their laurels, but is being proactive to attack any and every weakness.

Love it.

I don't get that. I know I remember it being said that Shaq was drafted to play the nickel

Shaq is here to keep our LB corp crazy good b/c our FO values it.  He will ultimately be Davis' replacement and allow us to continue the trend of great LB play.

I respect the team's evaluation but I never cared much for this guy

He probably is much easier to stomach when he plays on your team.

I mean look at Smitty and Norman....he really isn't more annoying than them.  But those were our guys

Is Finnegan fast?  Williams has been doing a good job as gunner, but too many penalties.

We do have a  3 game "trial window" with a free roster spot while Horton is suspended... (assuming we release the emergency long snapper)

At CB but Teddy is our best gunner.  Those ST jobs are very underrated and Ron finally acknowledged how just inserting random guys into ST instead of real special teammers is costly

    • I guess i have to add I am curious as well as to what Tepper has done that shows he has backed off.  Thats not a hard ask.  I guess I am in a holding pattern of what to believe until the wheels come off again.  Not saying thats going to happen but there is more data out there to suggest it will vs a turn around.
    • Never a fan of him for us but this is compete BS. Teddy seems like a good dude. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45740176/teddy-bridgewater-suspended-miami-northwestern-coaching-job
    • Running or being able to run the ball allows you to control the game. You control the pace, score, and time of possession. It does also allow your defense to rest and when they do get on the field, go 100%. That in turn forces the opponents offense not have 3 and outs. That's huge pressure, if the other team is just running the ball while having 14 plays drives.  If you are able to get 3.5 yards a carry and mix in smoke routes that gain similar while allowing the clock to run......you control the game.  Deal is nearly all rules changes in the 25 years have helped the passing part. Young folks and gambling folk want to see 37-45 scores. Those 10-16 score teams are poison and toxic, I don't care personally just win. I can enjoy a 6-3 slug-out just the same as 50-42.  There just too many factors to go over. Running used to be important for playoff ball, cause it was before half the league got domes. Running the ball in snow, cold, wet conditions was the path. Like NE played in that awful division each for 20 years during the Dynasty run, they normally had the #1 seed and home field. Thats why bill always had a #1 defense and enough offense to win. It was a huge advantage.    I have thought you need to pass in order to score, THEN you must be able to run the ball with 7minutes remaining to keep the other teams offense off the field. But if you're setup to pass and get no experience during the game to try rushing plays, who knows what you can do. So I feel you truly need a balanced attack, that's the key and main goal. Run for first downs went you need too and pass for TDs when you need too.
