Bene to start camp on Pup

[usmcpanthers]

Time to pull Peanut out of retirement!!!!!!!!!!

[Smithers]

They are being careful.  I'd rather him miss a couple weeks than miss the entire season due to injuring himself.

Worst decision in gettlemans time here was not paying Norman.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said MLB Luke Kuechly (shoulder), WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) and WR Stephen Hill (knee) looked good in conditioning tests. He also said they will be eased back into full duty as a precaution. He added that cornerback Leonard Johnson (ankle) may open on PUP with Bene' Benwikere

[pantherclaw]

Well this isn't good news by any means. Bene needed to be ready to go. It'll be worse news if he starts the season on the PUP. 

I'm not really as concerned with our rookies as some are. 

I'm not sure that any veteran CB that is currently available would be anything but depth.

Well if we dont get Peanut out of retirement we can call finnegan back up or mcclain sigh.

Isn't McClain still on the team?

Yes, he's still on the team.  Looking more and more as if he could get an early shot at starting on the outside depending on Bene's return timeline.

yeah I just assumed he was gone because most of the secondary was purged this offseason lol.

Definitely not ideal, but not as doom and gloom as some put it. rookies get much needed reps against the ones

I completely agree that its not ideal but our rookie CB's get much needed reps against a really good receiving corp especially with Benji coming back in to the fold. I hope that Bradberry, Worley, and Sanchez is ready because if not they will get burned fast and often. But I do think they will rise to occasion especially Bradberry. I think Worley worries me the most of the three to be quite honest. I think we could potentially see a rotation with Sanchez getting snaps on the outside too.

It's a little premature to judge that decision before a single game has been played. 

I want to know what's up with Johnson's ankle. Non football related? He has more experience than Bene but not with this defense.

paying Norman $15M a year pretty much guarantees KK's departure next year. Also, Dave would probably have to severely low ball Coleman, Oher, and Kali and those extensions probably don't get done. 

 

Yup. It came down to would you rather have one quarter or two dimes and a nickel?

[Khyber53]

The answer is on the roster.

I have a feeling DG will pick up a veteran at some point like he has done the past few seasons
