Gave him his props yesterday. To me he helped himself a bit. At least a practice squad position.

I’m torn yet on him.  Redeemed himself from fumble.  But sometimes he looks slow and sometimes he looks like he has some juice.  It could be him trying to process the speed of the game. Not sure.  

I do want him to make it simply because I am done with the CAP experiment.

I'm just not sure what our depth chart even looks like at RB:

CMC, CAP, Bonnafon, Scarlett, Holyfield

That seems a little slim at the position considering the following: CAP never gets touches, Scarlett didn't play last night, Bonnafon is an unknown although he had a couple of flashes last night, Holyfield redeemed himself. If CMC (GOD FORBID) goes down we are in some trouble in my opinion at RB. 

Am I wrong in this? Maybe I'm missing something.

We will get JStew on the line

Our run game as a whole kinda stunk last night...but I liked Holyfield making some plays in the pass game. Especially since (according to the announcers at least) the coaches instructed him that his hands needed some work and so he took that criticism and stayed late every day catching passes from the JUGS machine...and it showed. That kind of work ethic and mentality makes me think he’ll only get better but it also means he might be an ideal candidate for the practice squad. Unfortunately he’ll probably always be hindered somewhat by his athleticism...he definitely looked faster than 4.78 out there but he will never be an incredibly speedy guy.

I don't imagine he'll do anything against first team NFL defenses. I just cant see that. Good for him though on his 2 TD's

[Bronn]

I've been saying it'll be CMC, Scarlett, Holyfield on the final roster at RB for a while.

The only thing from last night that made me have second thoughts on that was that I forgot that CAP can return kicks. That gives him some value over the other guys, but IIRC Scarlett might be able to do that too.

If so, there's no reason to keep CAP around. We don't really need a backup if CMC is healthy. We showed it with Anderson last year. If something happens to CMC, we may bring Bonnafon up or sign a JAG, but I feel comfortable at this point with Scarlett and Holyfield.

I think that could be attributed to a green o line as much as our RB corps

Can't be any worse than in 2014 when the Panthers were literally signing guys off the street to start at RB. Who remembers Chris Ogbonnaya?

[Captain Morgan]

I don't see Holyfield making the team.  I think Bonnafon will be kept because he's a good pass catcher.

I dont know what the hell you guys are watching but CAP was the best RB on the field for CAR last night. I have literally no idea where the CAP hate comes from. He showed good change of direction and finished runs. Caught a tough ball on a tipped pass too. I just dont get his criticism. Holyfield looked ok in spots....but he pretty much let Chicago back in the game. Yeah he had two tds and the last run was decent. But he only had 39 yards on 11 touches.

No hate towards CAP, I like him, he just doesn't get the touches I think all of us thinks he should get.  The coached just don't give him the ball for whatever reason.
