The Panthers worked out Jehuu Caulcrick, who has spent some time with the New York Jets, and Jerome Johnson, who went through the preseason with the St. Louis Rams.

I know most everyone here, including myself was hoping for Lorenzo Neal, but they havent signed anyone yet. So maybe they will call him in for a workout.

i mentioned this in one of the other threads talking about the FB situation.

seems they were trying to look at the cheaper options today so they might look at the more pricey ones tomorrow.

regardless, they aren't 100% happy with their options in house.

Why would our FO want Johnson a college OLB when Sotherland is just is cheap? He was one of the best FB in college. He played 3 years there and really excelled in all the things you want from a FB (Blocking, Short Yardage Pounder, and Receiving). Check out this draft video.

    • I see them using Brooks in the passing game a good bit even early.  
    • If Brooks is fully healed,and they think he is, then we should be better.  We upgraded center and Hunt will be back.   At RB, Rico will turn 28 next month. Hubbard turns 27 next month.  Brooks turns 23 in July.  If Brooks pans out, he was a better college RB than either Rico or Chuba. He has not been taking a beating for 2 years--so if the knee holds, we could have something.   This is what it says about RB: Career Average: Running backs have the shortest average careers in the NFL, lasting just 2.57 years on average. The Peak: Most running backs reach their absolute peak performance around age 25 or 26, with nearly all peak seasons occurring before age 29. The "Age 28-29" Cliff: Statistical data shows a notable 15% to 25% drop in per-game fantasy and offensive production as backs transition from their age-28 to age-29 seasons. Very few running backs sustain elite production past age 30.
    • I’ll give him that. I love his belief in the trenches being where games are decided. Because that is also my belief.  And he is not fooling around he jumps all over a goal. Fix the OL. Well it cost but he fixed it.  And fixed it again this year while still getting pieces for the defense.  He has made a couple of mistakes but just keeps swinging after a miss until he gets something done.
