Would the Panthers need to make room to keep Damiere?

Damiere has picked up the pace the last two practices, making more plays than Stephen Hill at this point. Hill has started dropping passes again, unfortunately. 

So will the Panthers need to make cuts to veteran receivers to keep Damiere around? I am not so sure.

No we don't have to cut a vet WR. We can keep 6. If Hill is back to dropping passes and it continues in preseason, it's time to give up on him. Let Bersin, Garrett, and Byrd battle for the #5 and #6 spots.

At this point, I am not sure Garrett is even in the conversation to be on the practice squad. He hasn't looked good at all.

I like those five. Too bad Hill seems to have regressed. Maybe the injury, kept him from focusing on his catching. Hopefully, we can keep Garrett on the practice squad and develop him. Maybe next year, he could fill Ginn's spot to give us another outside threat.

Can't believe Hill is an afterthought after being so highly talked about all offseason and last week during the first few days of camp.

What gives?

Byrd apparently started camp poorly and has finally put together a couple good days. Happy for him, but I don't see why he is an option over Hill at this juncture.

Ultimately we need the games to be played to see who the pretenders are.

Probably because he's dropped a couple (with a history of the dropsies), and come up a little gimpy due to that really bad knee injury. So his pass catching and leg health are still in question.

Am I the only one who believes Kevin Norwood's skill set slots nicely between Big Beasts (KB and Funch) and Speed Racers (Ginn and Philly)?

I was hoping we'd draft Norwood out of Bama. Kid impressed me in colllege. He hasn't had much of a shot in the NFL the last few years but so far this training camp I've been impressed again.  Like I said in another thread, he reminds me of a stronger, younger, faster Cotchery. And, to me, that would be a valuable asset to this WR corps.

Norwood definitely is not out of the running yet. Has made some decent plays in camp. Byrd has just performed better, imo.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Icege · Posted

      At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.

      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.
