This is what I was saying earlier. He wants to play close to home. Honestly same as AT playing in Minnesota (except he was contracted to play here). People have to let things fully unfold before they start whining. Regardless I doubt HR will have as good of a year as some think. I see him as a clutch 3rd down guy and a nice vet to mentor these young WRs. 

 I think how good of year Hunter has boils down to Canales’ scheme and playcalling.   If he just runs the stuff he did  last year and asks him to run ATs routes….Hunter won’t do much

He said his conditioning in camp was a problem and the plan was for him to go to the PS to work on that. When the Adam thing happened, they decided to have him join the 53. The plan is still for him to work on his conditioning for the time being. He may be inactive or he may just play a few times here and there.

Canales said it was a concern when he was justifying all his roster moves. Which I still say you can’t  take what coaches say as the gospel when they are explaining things on a mic.

Hunter said we got games coming up, so I guess we will see.

Renfrow had a serious medical condition that made him lose a lot of muscle and ability to even try to do physical conditioning.

Its not surprise conditioning would be an issue

I know you are happy your guy is on the roster and will get playing time.

Much like Bryce though….not sure Hunter really fits Dave.  So, just for the record it’s not me picking on Bryce with fit of scheme

I think he could be a nice reliable 3rd down target. Let him find the soft spots in the defense. XL and TMac should handle the outside.

I'm curious how much playing time he gets since they wanted to put him on the PS and get his conditioning right before moving him to the 53.

No, that’s what Hunter said. I know DC said something similar, but hunter gave more detail.

Yeah but the guys that stepped up when KB left were veterans well into their careers.

Ted “no hands” Ginn and his sidekick Grandpa Cotchery. 

No lie… to this day, and forever, I’m always still gonna love me some Ted Ginn.  I tell people all the time who aren’t Panther fans so they don’t know - Ted legit was our best receiver during Cam’s tenure here.

Yeah, the recent interview in front of his locker….

if you listen, Hunter regurgitates what Canales said and does it from Canales’ perspective.  Coach said,  coach thought, Coach wanted. 

Every year I explain my position that coaches are not truthful people when it comes to explaining decisions and what is going on….they aren’t in the business of letting us know what is going on behind the scenes.   Nothing ever supported what Dave was selling.  He saw something apparently no one covering the team every single day saw.  He kept his boy and had to have a reason to explain it at the end of the day….and saying Moore was better would not sell

Hunter never had said he believed such is what I am saying.  That was Dave BSing his roster decisions.  What coaches do.  Hunter doesn’t play OL.  Odds are with his select slot work and his role….he is better prepared than our lineman for week 1.

A lot of our current offensive system is spreading guys out, running 4 or 5 wide and letting Bryce find the best matchups presnap.  

Hunter is elite at settling in a zone and running underneath routes.  

I see both as good fits for our scheme.  

Hunter was originally signed at 1 mil for the year.  Now, it's 2 mil.  Absolutely nothing unusual with the whole process especially since from the start we knew he was only going to play for us.

If we'd kept AT, it was up to Hunter if being on the practice squad was inline with his playing goals this year.  When we traded AT that gives Hunter the chance he wanted.

None of this stuff is done on a whim.

Even before we shipped Adam back to Minnesota,  we were only any injury away from nothing but youngsters. 

This receiver room doesn't look at stacked anymore.  

I pray our guys stay healthy.
