Ideally I'd be happy to have CAP active.

Question is whom do you DEACTIVATE, especially if all our players, including Marlowe, are healthy?

It is really tough to have to sit 7 healthy players when you know that several of them could really contribute.

Inactives last week were:

We played last week with only 3 safeties.  Not ideal.  Delaire stank up the joint, would like to see if Edwards can play... 

It's a good problem to have just about everyone on the team fully healthy, but at a time like this, the 46 player active limit really sucks.

I'm sure Edwards will have his shot, once he's more up to speed with the defense.  He hasn't ever really played much though...

Player limit sucks, but it's there for a pretty good reason.  Coaches just have to make the best decisions they can.

Pardon my ignorance becuase I've never thought about it before, but what exactly is that good reason. Off the top of my head I can't thing of any good reason to carry 53 guys but not be able to utilize a set number of them every week. What's the point?

Good explanation here:  http://www.panthers.com/news/ask-bryan/article-2/Ask-Bryan-Picking-the-inactives/04093768-aac5-46ea-bfeb-34db24e3f153

So why are teams allowed to have just 46 of their 53 players active for games? In short, it's a move aimed at maintaining competitive balance. Both teams were pretty healthy for the season opener, but as the attrition natural to the game of football takes full effect, just about every team will have players too injured to play in a given week but not so injured that they should be put on injured reserve.

So, let's say one team has six injured players, while their opponent has just one. With the inactives system, both teams would have 46 healthy players in action, as opposed to one team having five more healthy players than the opposition. That type of discrepancy could make a significant difference in the game's outcome, and that's what the league wants to avoid.

BBR speculates T. Williams or Cash goes inactive, but for Marlowe, not CAP. Add him and it may be Williams AND Cash.

Hopefully he's picked up more after having a long week. If so, I wouldn't mind him taking DeLaire's spot. He couldn't be much worse. 

As to the post's topic , I would love to see CAP get a shot. Make them load the box like they did on the Rams and leave our big WR's out there 1 on 1, or double our receivers and we can run it down their throats. Inactivate T. Williams, Simonson, or Cash if need be.

      interesting podcast. Did my best to summarize  1  none understand why rico isnt getting 100% of snaps 2  dalton  is seasoned veteran  and for this game, could he more of a challenge for bills than young   Better arm and   Familiar with  mcdermott defense.  Has seen everything    Impressed with Tet  and Panthers do not have bad receivers and impressed by size  3  not impressed with bills passed game and Allen is being held back because of it. bills do not seem to have a consistent vertical  passing game  as in past.   No intermediate More Short passes for YAC and that hurts Allen    Could be to control pace and tempo of the game given the bills defensive weaknesses    Need intermediate to stretch zone defenses  4 bills have several returning from DL from suspension this game on defense that could help  5  atlanta beat bills offense by  blitzing  and played ton of man coverage.   No structured intermediate passing game for bills   Bills had no answer for atlanta defense either blitzes and man to man coverage    Rushed 5 or more on over 30% if Allen’s drop backs  6  compliments the panthers defense   Up and coming but has issues. Last in pressure on qb   Last in DVOA and coverage of TEs

      REPORT: Bryce Young ankle injury is “just a one-week injury”

      By Super Grateful · Posted

      jesus christ, what weird subforum did I stumble upon where people are talking like Dalton is this incredible back up that is going to throw for 400 yards and 4 TD's like we haven't seen him in this role before, and that there is this master plan to fake Bryce's high ankle sprain in order to bench him during a winning season with favorable stats?

      REPORT: Bryce Young ankle injury is “just a one-week injury”

      By strato · Posted

      It is strange, but no less surreal than him being the 1.1 in the NFL draft.  If I were in the situation the team is in, I would be Not want to aggravate that injury and would be overly cautious. He needs to be fully healthy so he can properly evaluated in these games that are coming up.  They see Dalton in practice, they saw the film from Sunday. Maybe he has looked good enough that they think a side benefit to the caution is getting to look at the offense with a different guy running it.    The worst thing that could come out of it is Bryce is hampered the rest of the season
