Too funny... only an hour or so ago I wondered aloud on another thread about whether there had been any news on new practice squad rules.... and lo and behold, this evening comes this tweet:

So the 10 person PS has been approved for another years, and 2 more players can have 2 accrued seasons.

GREAT NEWS for the Panthers given that we work hard at developing young players over a few seasons.  I'm thinking this could have implications for players like Bersin, Foucault...

The NFL and the NFLPA have reached an agreement to continue the expanded practice squad rule that passed in 2014.

For the past two seasons, each team’s practice squad has been expanded to ten players from the eight player practice squads the league previously had. It was a little-known fact this offseason that the deal had expired, but the two sides have reached an agreement to continue moving forward.

In addition to the ten-man practice squad, the league also expanded the number of ‘veteran’ practice squad players allowed. In the past two seasons, two players with two years of accrued service were still eligible for the practice squad, and that number has been expanded to four players moving forward. What this means is that there will be more chances for players with a little bit of playing time (two accrued seasons or less) to stick around with an NFL team on their practice squad.

Garrett always would have been eligible since he's a rookie.  The limit is still 10 players, as it's been the past 2 seasons.  The change is that we can now keep around some guys who've had some playing time or previous seasons on the PS.

Players like Bersin, Yankey, Laron Byrd, Norwood, Foucault  I think now would all be able to be stashed on the PS.   Doesn't mean they'll be safe from being poached, but it expands our options with some of these guys.

Norwood. Foucault. Lucas?

Garrett worries me if he goes to PS but I guess by that time, if he hasn't earned a spot, he hasn't earned a spot.

Wegher is gone if he goes PS.

I wonder if these rules would encourage any new signings of guys that got cast off before. Ex: Someone like Lester should still be eligible right?

      Ideas on how to find a pass rush

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      His route running was not very good in this game, especially when compared to the previous week. There were at least three playactions ran where I couldn't tell if he was going to be pass blocking or running a route with how little effort he ran with. They also dinged him for the fumble on the play where XL lateraled to him. 29.8 fumble grade, 6.1 pass block grade, and 40.0 receiving grade really hurt his overall score. Personally, I'd have put him in the mid-to-high 70s on the day. I don't think his receiving grade should've been 40.0 but can see an argument for in the 50s. Maybe his pass blocking grade could've also been in the teens since he did win on the final rep handily.   Just re-watched the receiving TD for Rico and it was a hideous route. DaRon Bland left his zone to cover over top of TMac though which left the area wide open for Rico to get to. Very surprised that they gave Bland a 66.5 coverage grade as I recall him getting picked on a couple of times (and giving up the 4th down throw to Renfrow by giving an incredibly soft cushion).
