Great write up!  I too believe that they will try to stash the UDFA's as well as a couple of last year's acquisitions on the practice squad this year.  They will probably lose a few to other teams but that's what happens when you are stacked with depth.  It's a good problem to have.

I would be surprised if they kept only five LBs or had as many as eleven DBs. Under Rivera the Panthers have never opened with fewer than six linebackers ('11 - 8, '12 -7 , '13 - 6, '14 -6, '15 - 6), and they have never opened with more than ten defensive backs ( ('11 - 9 (5cb/4s), '12 -9 (4cb/5s) , '13 - 10 (6cb/4s), '14 -9 (4cb/5s), '15 - 9 (4cb/5s)).

Your projection after mini camp last year projected 11 dbs as well (they kept 9). Maybe non-contact drills make the guys in the back look better than when they get in pads?

I still can't see us keeping 10 Oline.  Either Foucault or Hawkins are decent and we keep one of them as #9 and one of them on the PS, or we sign a Free Agent as #9 and keep one or both of Foucault / Hawkins on the PS.  

Especially with the new PS rules allowing 4 guys with 2 accrued seasons, I think we'll see more borderline guys who are valuable depth and might have a slim shot on the 53 (Bersin, Norwood, Foucault, Wegher ....)  instead be stashed on the PS.  We may lose a few of them, but I think there are other players ahead of them who need the reps they'll get by being on th5 53.  

Can't imagine us not keeping 6 LBs - both for ST and given that we may lose Klein after this season. -  I'm thinking they may want to be grooming Mayo with more defensive snaps, thus less ST snaps.

Ed Dickson may be in trouble.  

You've obviously seen more than us, but put me in the corner of shocked if Simonson makes the roster and Dickson doesn't. Not only did Dickson make the roster last year, he also played a lot of snaps. It will be interesting to see how this develops. With Olsen still around, I figure it all comes down to who the best blocker is.

If Sandland proves to be the second best TE on the team and gets the second amount of snaps after Olsen, who would you keep as the third TE? Simonson or Dickson?

      I’m gonna say it… I’m proud of Bryce.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part.

      This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
