At the half: Here we go again

At this rate, the Panthers are going to see every offensive option.

Already without starting RB DeAngelo Williams, backup Jonathan Stewart left with an apparent concussion.

Then QB Matt Moore left in the second quarter with a shoulder problem, giving rookie Jimmy Clausen yet another chance.

Moore's return (and Stewart's) was described as questionable, and it may already be too late.

The Saints lead 17-3 at halftime, thanks to QB Drew Brees' second touchdown pass of the day, this one to TE Jimmy Graham.

Clausen made the game's most entertaining play, avoiding a safety by throwing it sidearm in the general direction of WR Steve Smith, the first time he had been targeted all day.

Otherwise, there wasn't much action for the home team, as they're no worse on offense with the backups than the starters.

Panthers MLB Dan Connor left with a hip injury. In his absence, Jon Beason shifted back inside to his natural position, and Nic Harris lined up on the weakside.

      For those thinking Renfrow isn't making the team...Ha!

      By TD alt · Posted

      More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?

      Goodbye to Barno

      That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp.  I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.
