I agree with that, and I think Sanders is fine for TE1 especially in a Dave Canales system

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if it even matters.   We have a coach that "says" he wants to run the ball.  We have two good rb's and a third we drafted.  We have a Oline that is geared to run block.  We have a wide receiver group that contains two first round picks, one of the best hands guys we have had ever (Thielen) and and a promising undrafted free agent in Coker. And we have at least two tight ends who have shown they can catch passes on occasion.  How many chances will any tight end, even a good one, actually get?  Our number one might have less than 40 catches, and still have a good year.

My guess there will be games in which Panthers run the ball 38 times and next week 16 times. 

Just win, whatever it takes...

No doubt, but I am just saying that if everything works out the way the coach wants it, a tight end might not have many opportunities.  Hopefully, all of them make the most of the chances they do get.

Off my memory panthers ran over 63% 2 TEs last year. I dont know if the targets will be there, but he seemed to favor 2 TE sets. That could change this season with more 3 WRs looks, just like the defense I dont know what will be on the field this season. I know they tied the hardest to carry 4 TEs each week, but lots of injuries hit. Matthews ran out of call-ups early. I think he was cut and resigned week one. 

After some thinking and huffin draft hope, Evans looks like a tremble&sanders combo. 

I think players will have to show the coaches/Dave they need targets or Carrys, almost force them to be included. Unwise feed Chubba and look for AT on 3rd down.....

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
