1st 4 WR spots are locked in with Thielen, Johnson, Mingo, Leggette

- 2 spots remain -

Terrace Marshall, David Moore, Ihmir Smith- Marsette, Jalen Coker not to mention any possible waiver wire option

I was checking to see if this thread existed before I started one.  I think we keep 6.  I want to post my choices here before reading what the other Huddlers have to say--many just google questions and repeat them as their ideas and many others are experimenting with crystal meth.

1. Johnson

2.  Thielen

3.  Legette

4.  Mingo

5. Marshall Jr

6. Smith-Marsette unless he is injured. He nudges Moore because he is better at special teams and is five years younger than Moore.  Moore makes the team if S-M goes to IR.

Practice Squad.  Coker might get placed on IR to protect him--not sure he makes it to the PS   He would then be one of the four protected players.  Since it is possible that the team will be without Johnson, Thielen, and Marshall Jr. next season, it is important to keep Coker.  He could go to IR if they feel he would be scooped up.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Canales has a surprise cut or 2.  Roster full of not his guys. 

Tremble missed everything.  Think he clears some healthy cap.  2 new TEs have shined thus far. 

I think there will be some type of mini shocker 

A mini shocker will be a TE---Matthews is 32, however, and that hurts him.

that is what my heart tells me.

In past years those 5&6 WRs nearly must have ST skills, which hurts TMJ. 

Honestly that was what ended Goat rices career, he didn't play ST and how could you make him at that stage? Deal was he still could play, just the numbers for ST forced him to make the move. 

I thought Ive seen Coker on KOs, but I could be mistaken. STs is dirty and tough for WRs. You still have what 46 active on GameDay.

I think it's a race between TMJ, David Moore and ISM.  ISM is an explosive athlete for gadget plays and ST..  TMJ can play big guy bully ball.  David Moore is versatile and plays ST.

Good points here…TMJ doesn’t play special teams.  I mean he doesn’t carry a lot of value IMO

Honestly one of the better #5 WR for the Panthers was Brandon zylstra. He could play all 3 WRs spots and was a good STer. He was a gunner if I member right and those are some of the better players play. 

Franklin was a good gunner and he's on IR. 

You have to think Zylstra for those last 2 WR spots. I've done too many rosters and learned about STs the hard way.

we are basing our guesses on what we see during a few scrimmage games.  These decisions are going to be made by looking at film, practices, and how well the learn and interact with teammates (their dispositions).  What skills do they have that others don't have?  Marshall is your slant guy, Smith-Marsette is the special teamer who can break one as a WR, Coker is the (by rep) red zone threat and he is a good route runner...Moore is 29 and if there is a younger guy who can do what he does, I see them keeping the young guy since they are building for the future--but if Canales likes you...

Given Thielen's age and comical lack of YAC last year I find myself apprehensive at the notion of possibly losing a young up and coming WR just to keep Adam on for the season. Yes it's good to have his veteran presence. But it would be a shame to see one of these young WR's end up shining elsewhere while we move on from Thielen after this season anyways.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
