Remember when everyone was angry that the Panthers cut WR Jarrett Boykin last year....

Huddle gonna huddle. 

 

Do you think he would even be in consideration for the squad this year? Seems like just looking back at that situation really brings how much the unit has improved into focus. Boykin was basically a less talented Norwood, who probably won't even make the team this season.

Well I would have rather had Boykin last year and the 7th round pick we gave up for Norwood than Norwood since he contributed absolutely nothing so there's that. 

Nope. He contributed to a red zone interception so there's that.

I don't put that one on Norwood. Cam's arm was hit during the throw which caused it to sail high and right. He barely got his fingertips on the ball.

ehh, i forgive it. losing benjamin in camp was a major blow and throwing some poo at the wall was due dilligence for gettleman. norwood was no world beater but facing a season without your top receiver it's not much of a gamble to throw your 7th-rounder at a shot to repair a little bit of the damage.

Nah he still got his hands on the ball it just went right through his hands. Watch the replay.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
