Retarded moves by a retarded FO. That's usually hand-in-hand.

Well at least some team will be getting our Tony Brown again.

Yep, the FO is retarded for cutting a journeyman DT when we have several guys who have looked great in camp and in preseason.

And all those wondering why Hayden didn't get cut...he's done nothing but improve since he's been here and he actually had a really good preseason. Panthers fans have a bad opinion of him because he was forced into starting due to injuries to other guys and he just wasn't ready for it. That doesn't mean he's worthless. He'll be a good back-up for us.

I personally just have a bad opinion of him because he's horrible at playing DT.

Edit: NM the above, just checked and he's amassed a staggering 17 tackles through two seasons. My bad.

Yeah you're totally right. A guy starting as many games as him and getting as much playing time as him should have huge stats. DT is a position that is known for accruing very large numbers of tackles, too. :rolleyes:

Let's just totally disregard the fact that he looked much improved in the preseason and the fact that the coaching staff obviously likes him and wants him on the team. You probably know more about football than Brian Baker and Ron Meeks anyway.

So.. he's not disruptive, doesn't get much push, doesn't do much to flush the QB out and doesn't accumulate a bunch of tackles.. but he's improving?

Thank God. He'll be up to "kinda-ok rotational guy" by 2014. We just need to be patient!

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
