Cuts on the Horizon

Rosters have to be trimmed from 85 to 80 by Tuesday, and then the big cut to 53 comes on August 30.  I just thought you might like to know that.

I am wondering about this 5-player cut tomorrow.  A lot of teams try to release some of the better veterans that do not look poised to make the roster because they know they can't stash them on the PS.  They say they want to allow them to find a spot on another roster.

If this theory is valid, then what veteran(s) do you think the Panthers might cut by tomorrow?

(My guess:  Cam Erving.  We can put Pleasant on the PS if we need a 4th OT (counting BC as the third OT).  Reason?  We can save $2m in cap room.  I know that you might add, "He is decent depth.  Why throw that away for $2m?"
To which I say, "Because Pleasant looked better at RT, and if we keep Daley...")

The cap hit is double that for Erving.  I'd rather let him play out his remaining year.   Plus, that gives us more options on the left side if the injury bug bites.   I'd rather keep Erving than Daley.  Honestly, we probably keep both.  Pleasants is PS material.  Mays has more potential and is plug and play anywhere on the right side of the line.  The other guards, Brown, Horton and Jordan are just that...guards.  They all are expendable. If any of those dudes make it over Mays, I'll be pissed...because they suck at the one job they do have, not to mention no versatility.

He has not yet

And may not until the initial 53 is made.  If a player goes to IR before the 53 man roster is set, he is out for the entire year without the ability to come back.  It wouldn't shock me that Corral makes the initial 53 man roster before heading to IR so he could come back later in the season when healthy enough.

That would be ideal. I did not know IR wasn't a done deal yet. Everything I'm seeing gave me the impression it was done.

There's no rush at this time.  During the season, it would have to be a quick decision, but not this early.  Corral is heading to IR, it's just how the team wants to handle it--whether they feel they need him back or he's able to come back versus having to cut a guy they want to keep on the 53 man roster just to send Corral to IR as soon as the roster is set and hope said player clears waivers in order to re-sign him.

Sadly I think Jordan is going to be safe because he (supposedly) is a good run blocker and we'll probably be run heavy this year. 

As far as veterans go.  Erving and Daley. Kenny Robinson from the Safety position? 

Agree on both. As stated earlier, if we can save $2M or so in cap space, I’m all for it. Pleasant was cut today but can be brought back on the PS.

I don’t see us cutting Robinson over what happened last week. The guy makes plays and provides decent depth at safety, not to mention his value on ST.

Austen Pleasants per Joe Person 

He and Mays were the right side swing guys.  I guess Mays made him expendable.  I figured he would.  Mays can play all five positions, he ain't getting cut.  Brown and/or Horton should be the next out the door.  Pure guards and not very got at it either.

Yup, Mays has potential and provides good depth along the interior OL. The rest are expendable including Daley. He’s been a real disappointment. He had such potential when we drafted him a few years back. Not sure what’s happened to him.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
