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.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
