No Stewart at practice today.... Wegher this week?

As predicted, we will probably see Brandon Wegher activated this Sunday against the Buccaneers. 

According to our buddy Bill Voth, Stewart has no helmet today. Stewart will likely miss another game. If so, this means both of the Panthers starting running backs will be out. Fozzy Whitaker has already been ruled out ruled out. 

The Cameron Artis-Payne/Brandon Wegher duo could get their debut on Sunday. I, for one, am excited. Wegher showed so much promise in the preseason with his touchdown runs and receptions. 

To add to the drama, Sunday is looking like a ground and pound type of game. Bank of America field is getting a huge dose of wet weather this week. The ground will likely still be muddy come Sunday. This may, or may not, be good news for the Panthers. 

The Carolina Panthers currently have the #2 ranked rushing offense in the league. But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the #4 ranked rushing offense. They are no slouches. 

The best news for the Panthers is that Jameis Winston does not fit the QB mold that has given the Panthers fits as of late. Winston has not yet perfected those quick strikes over the middle that has been the Panthers achilles heal. The Panthers should be able to win this game fairly easily.

Also it could be that they don't want JS to get hurt in the lousy conditions

I think that s the biggest issue. He was cleared to play already but there is no reason to risk putting him out there. I wonder what the field condition will be, I have heard that BOA drains well and shouldnt be a problem unless it rains Sunday.

This doesn't bode well for our chances of winning Sunday, though. Wegher may have potential but he's no Stewart at this point. Nowhere even close. 

Look for Tampa to put more men in the box now, knowing Cam doesn't have a major weapon at RB. Part of what's made life more difficult for the OL is the defense's knowledge that we don't have a huge threat at RB right now. I like CAP and he's broken some big runs, but he's no Stewart, either. And opposing teams know that.

I just want the fuging top seed for one. Our team is 20 years old and it's never finished with the No. 1 seed.

      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.
