Tough year for the ones coming from the bottom. 

Impossible. The teams are probably already at 60 in their minds. We are likely one of the best spots for wildcards because we have so many holes. Problem for the UDFAs is that anyone drafted will get the benefit of the doubt because the GM/coaches have all the research they did in their minds. The draftees and the top UDFAs will get a pass so to speak over the guys padding the roster. Pretty much always been that way, but definitely much much harder to crack an active roster this year.

With no preseason there is no reason to keep 90 players. The only reason so many are kept is for preseason fodder in game 4. It is extremely easy to cut 15 players before one training camp practice.

Before Camp, or during? How will they know ability before they see them play? Just asking.

Since the corna virus thread is in tinderbox, and this is kind a football question/post I will post this here.  One position that could be effected like no other in the NFL by the corna virus is long snapper.  I don't know if I have ever hear of a team carrying 2 long snappers on a roster and usually the back up long snapper is a guy who did it in High School and maybe 5 or 6 times in college and practices it maybe 5 times a week.  If a kicker test positive on Saturday before the game you can have the punter do the kick duties and the other way around if needed.  If the long snapper test positive on Friday night or Saturday, unless you got a guy on the practice squad, you might be fugged.  I work with a guy who's son was the long snapper at NC State for 3 years.  He never got drafted and only had like 2 try outs after the draft and never got into camp.  His dad says he still practices everyday just waiting for a call.  He might better keep his phone close this season.

Anyone else having issues with the Panthers website. I wanted to check to see if they had trimmed the roster yet, but nothing comes up over at panthers.com

 

Nope, it popped up just fine for me.  Still at 88 players.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
