Big fan of Boston and Coleman but I do see we need depth, forbid a injury but Carolina is a smart team. They know its a long physically demanding season. Hitner can bring some explosiveness and big hits when we need to pop Devonte Freeman on a screen when were up 34-7. Guys on the sideline love those big hits... I wish we could have a cam on the bench anytime Shaq Thompson spears someone to the ground... 

IM SO READY FELLAS

Rotoworld's blurb:

Free agent S Donte Whitner will visit the Panthers on Friday.

It could be an indication the Panthers aren't sold on third-year pro Tre Boston opposite FS Kurt Coleman. Whitner was cut by the rebuilding Browns in April, but had a passable 2015. Whitner's lone previous visit came in April to the Rams, but he's the kind of player who could get a big boost from the Panthers' DB-friendly scheme. He can't be that much worse than Roman Harper.

Pretty funny how all these national guys have no clue what's going on in the Carolinas... Coleman's already moved to SS and Whitner is a SS so we're likely not looking at him to replace Tre at FS. The last line is true though.

I think what they're getting at is that Coleman moves back to FS and Whitner comes in as SS.

Either way, I see your point. And the last line couldn't be truer.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
