"Mucas" is back!

Holy cow.  That makes 8 Tight Ends on the roster at this moment.... 

I know that there are two distinct TE roles...  receiving TE and a Richie Brockel type blocking TE... but still.... this is a surprise. 

Dickson and Simonson are likely going to have trouble making the roster!

 

FYI, I believe we went into camp last year with 6 TEs on the roster.    Here's the list I saved last year.

Dickson, Ed
Olsen, Greg
Williams, Brandon
Brockel, Richie
Childers, Jamie
Simonson, Scott

I have to say, this is one of the most unpredictable offseasons so far for the Panthers...

When a bunch of us here were getting draft crushes on TE Hunter Henry it seemed like it could be a solid pick, and many of expressed a desire to get more depth behind Greg, begin developing a TE for the future.... and potentially upgrade from Dickson.

But did any of us foresee or predict this wholesale attention and commitment to upgrade a position that wasn't an obvious position of need?

This really excites me.  It's very clear Gettleman & our coaches aren't going to be happy to settle for a position group that is "good enough" but are relentlessly pursuing a plan to upgrade.   AWESOME.

He looked pretty good in camp last season.  I think he was one of the guys we were most sorry to cut if I recall comments from Ron or Dave...

Given that we claimed him off waivers, and we're 2nd to last on the waiver wire, it's clear he wasn't high on any other team's wish list....

    • There was some pretty egregious missed calls vs the Chiefs in the Lions game, especially Kelce. The completion where he clearly used the ground to catch the ball. The hold in front of the ref as Pacheco ran by where the defender was trying to turn around and couldnt because Kelce had him by the jersey. Mahomes openly taunting after scoring a TD. 0 penalties after double digit the week before. Cmon. 
    • People get trade happy and look at resources as barter items. They fail to see them as resources to be used to our benefit rather than someone else's. Right now, Chuba and Rico are massive benefits to us and a strong rushing attack so greatly benefits any passer, much less a young one like Bryce still is.  And the better our running game, the more our offense can eat up the clock, the less time our defense is on the field. And that is priceless, too. Don't mess with the running game. Don't mess with the receivers. Maybe look at our O-line and think we may have hit on something good during these injuries. Look at our D-line and seem some strength evolving there. Our secondary has its good spots and some that are still developing. Our linebacking corps did well this last outing. Our special teams are on a major upswing as of this past week. Heck, even our QB is showing us a little something right now that we can build on. Perhaps putting out a yard sale sign right now might be less advantageous than looking at the team and saying, "You are all part of something good that is happening. We want to see that continue to grow."
