PANTHERS cut down to 80 players

Recommended Posts

Wide receiver Damion Jeanpiere, guard Tyler Marz, center Frederick Mauigoa, and running back Rodney Smith have been waived. Jeanpiere and Marz were late additions to Carolina's practice squad in 2019 and signed futures contracts to remain with the team. Mauigoa and Smith both signed as undrafted free agents following the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Panthers also waived undrafted rookie linebacker Jason Ferris with an injury designation.

With these moves, Carolina's roster stands at 80 players. This means the Panthers do not have to use a split-squad procedure and can work as one unit

Rhule maybe in the wrong game, in his last interview the plan was to remain at 90. A couple days later, here we are at 80. Doing himself no favors to the "Rhule is a LIAR!!1!1!!! reeeee" crowd.

If Rhule says a guy is looking great and he can’t wait to see him on the field, consider him cut.

This  is  probably  the  reason  for  the  cuts.

If  they  get  injuries  some  of  them  may  come  back.

Mauigoa (C) and Smith (RB) were players I watched some videos on after we signed them--I was never that excited about either.  With Mauigoa, I thought he sucked.

I think we could have something in Bowen (T, Ohio St) , Bayless (WR, Ark St), Hartsfield (CB, Miss), and Sutton (TE, Fresno St).

So he’s ready and we were just calling him the second biggest bust out

If he was ready the Panthers wouldn’t of went out and traded Turner for a LT. I mean it’s good our second rounder, backup LT passed his physical round 2 in his second year, but I wouldn’t call it great news.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
