Pat Yasinskas is reading the Huddle again

[markbm62]

Pat Yasinskas: We all know John Fox isn’t going to reveal anything about strategy before he has to, so we won’t really know until we see the Panthers in training camp. But I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Goodson get some time in the slot. I think we’re going to see more use of the slot receiver by the Carolina Panthers than we have in recent years. The Panthers are aware they need more production from receivers other than Steve Smith and using the slot guy more would be one way to achieve that.

I think this was talked about on here at least a month back?

its not like it was a secret...

This was talked about when Goodson was drafted, and one of Yasinskas' readers was the one to bring it up.

That being said, I would like to see Goodson used in the slot more. He impressed me in the preseason with the few grabs he made -- moreso than with his running, in fact.

With how well Sutton played last year I’m thinking that this is about the only way he will see the field. His speed will be hard to ignore.

Agreed, we have 3 very solid RB's so this would be a good move for Goodson. He has to be willing to put in the work to learn the position though, and he has to learn to take care of the ball.

Im so pumped for the season to flipping start

To give Yasinkas a little break, somebody asked him a question and he answered. It's not like he wrote an article about it.

This works in Madden 2010 extremely well.

God I hope we use Goodson. He's got alot of talent.

i think we should run the wildcat with geoff schwartz getting the ball.

Yea, but he showed flashes of being a Fumbling Foster. Let's put some stick um on his hands first.

[OneBadassCat]

I didn't think his fumbles were that bad. Most of those were wrong place wrong time type of things. I think he'll be fine.

[CLTPanther]

He did have 1 fumble lost during the regular season on 22 carries. I can't find his preseason stats, but I think he had like 3 or 4 fumbles in the preseason. I know it doesn't count, but it shows you his ball handling skills need some work.

It's not that absurd of an idea. I remember him fumbling a few times but I also him making an amazing catch off of one of Delhome's horrible passes.

He doesn't have to switch positions. He'll just be used in specific packages.
