WR Russell Shepard Runs Sweet Route In Training Camp


Saca312

Recommended Posts

I think Russell Shepard has a good chance of making it as our WR3.

Take a look at the following play from today's edition of training camp:

Going man to man against Worley, watch Shepard drop his weight at the top of the route, and stagger fluidly to the catch point and continue on. Textbook example of dropping your weight at the top of the route. Any CB going against what Shepard just did would have trouble keeping up.

Shepard's been someone I've been harping on since March. His performance at training camp just gives evidence of what I've been preaching on this past off-season.

He has a chance to get some decent time this year. No doubt I'm rooting for the kid.

I actually think he's looking to push to the WR2.  He would play on the outside, more than the slot (Samuel, CMC, Byrd), and has more experience and fundamentals than Funch at this point.  I'm not saying the job is his to lose, that's actually where Funch is right now, but Shep has a full head of steam heading Funch's way.

Samuel is having so many hamstring issues who knows if he'll even been playing much

It would be nice if SOMEBODY stepped in to the Cotchery role as that clutch guy who finds a way to move the chains in those tough games. It can't always be Olsen.

I know I will get roasted for this, but you just described Bersin to a tee.

Benjamin is a gamer much like Cam, I don't worry about Benji. When the lights come on so will he.

Could sign for cheap and would be just that but a better version.

He and Funchess have been the two best recievers. 

Benjamin is not having the camp he did in years past. No one is mentioning this yet, but they will . 

Yeah, I saw the tweets about KBs drops today, and his possibly slowing up on the end of a route -> leading to being overthrown and I went Hmmmm.  But he's looking good (slimmer), so I figured I'd give him a bit of slack and see how things go... afterall, today was 1st time in pads in awhile.  Bersin was off his game today too...

Clay & Garrett have moved up on my radar a bit....  Will be curious about Trevor (TJ) Graham as by all accounts his speed is amazing.  Ron seems serious about getting more speed on the field this season.

So, yes, I think Shepard is among our top 3 receivers.  Seems pretty consistent, which we need.

I just said this in the Samuel thread.. His hamstring issues would be easier to deal with if we signed a proven commodity like Boldin

He signed a dirt cheap contract last year and he said he prefers to play close to home (Florida). Charlotte is close enough. 

Make it happen Marty!

    • to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day
    • I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..
    • Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
