Benjamin played eight snaps in the exhibition opener at Baltimore before getting nine last week in Tennessee. Assuming Benjamin sits in the preseason finale against the Steelers, he'll have to triple his workload from last week to approach the 30-35 snaps Rivera set as his goal by the end of the preseason.

 

Am I missing something here? 8+9 = 17, so to get to 30-35 snaps, Benji needs to play 13-18 more snaps. That's nowhere near close to triple the workload of last week (9*3 = 27). Unless Rivera's goal was to get Benji 30-35 snaps in any one particular preseason game, which makes no sense either.

He played 9 snaps last week. 9 tripled = 27, which is a number approaching 30-35. Now, if Rivera said the goal was for him to get 30-35 total in the entire preseason then you're right on. I don't read it that way though.

I hate the fact we are playing NE because IMO it won't give us an accurate portrayal of where we are at.

Brady to my knowledge isn't play.  IMO, Brady would expose how our last lineup configuration of  DBs aren't ready to be week 1 starters.

This is what I was saying in the practice thread yesterday. I suspect when carolina agreed to play NE, one reasons is to play against Tom. We could have played the Bengals instead. Another AFC playoff team

Yeah, I guess it's in the interpretation. I always thought it was 30-35 snaps over the course of the entire preseason, rather than 30-35 snaps in a preseason game, but I'm probably wrong on that.

I wan't to see more Byrd

If he can be as durable as Antonio Brown, he might just end up like Antonio Brown

Byrd's question is his durability, being that small

This.  I want to see him with Cam and the 1's a little.   Him in the slot between the KB/Funchess towers.  See what he can do

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
