From Darin: Panthers getting numbers back


Laetitia

Recommended Posts

Strange sight at Panthers practice Wednesday, as four quarterbacks took part for the first time since the preseason.

Jimmy Clausen was cleared by doctors after suffering a concussion, meaning he'll start Sunday at Cleveland barring a setback.

Also, Brian St.Pierre was able to throw some, after a bout of arm, shoulder and back soreness from his surprise start.

Coupled with Tony Pike and new practice squader Keith Null, the Panthers had more passers than they knew what to do with.

They also got RB Jonathan Stewart back on the practice field after he missed two weeks with a concussion, along with WR Brandon LaFell.

LG Travelle Wharton (toe) is still out of practice, along with backup Ss Marcus Hudson (ankle) and Jordan Pugh (hamstring).

I'm interested to see what we do with Stewart now that he's back. At this point I'm inclined to say lets just let Goodson keep doing his thing since Stewart has forgotten how to play like he used to. (correction: not getting the blocks he used to)

yeah. i almost feel optimistic about our chances. gotta think big picture here.

I don't know....something just makes me think that this is going to be a good and a bad week at the same time..

I think stewart gets it going and clausen has a good day and the panthers win...

The bad part - we beat the Browns and have a 2nd win

thats my dilemma as well. i want the panthers to win, just because i'm a fan, and i think we could actually pull it off this week.

on the other hand...i want that #1 overall and i don't want anything to screw that up.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction
