Official Week 3: Panthers vs. Falcons Gameday Thread

[Icege]

XL was questionable with a hammy and limited all week in practice. Sounds like it was giving him enough issues to keep him out.

Week off might be good for him to get a fire lit under him as he recovers. Jimmy Horn Jr being inactive is... a choice. Game plan looks to be run the ball all day.

David Moore filling in for XL. Brycen Tremayne to get more reps.

Hunter Renfrow game!  Clearly Hunter Renfrow has pleaded to the football gods for all the Clemson football juju to be sucked from Clemson and enter his body for the year!  It’s science!  19 receptions today for 20 yards but 15 TDs.

One game they need to put Jimmy Horn Jr out there to see what he can do

I'm starting to thin Horn Jr is going to be one of those mini camp wonders who never is anything meaningful, and I really liked what I saw/heard about him from early camp reports too.

But if he can't even get a jersey the week we're down one of our other WRs, then I'm not sure there's much hope for him on the horizon

You can only really play him in the slot.  Hard to  activate Hunter and Horn when a big body is already down.

Or you could look at it as the only outside speedster option is down, and dressing Horn would allow us to still have someone running some go-routes on the outside to try and keep some safety help deep instead of shading over to T-Mac's side of the field on every snap.

Even if there is a 0% interest in actually throwing the deep ball to Horn Jr on those plays, at least it would just be useful for keeping the defense honest.

I don't think it's all our WR's that are limiting those options downfield.....

Can't wait to see Horn beat the corner by 10 yards and Bryce throw it 5 yards short allowing the corner to catch up and break it up

Oh I get it, but even with Bryce's noodle arm, if you have a burner on the outside who is beating his man down the field with zero safety help, even Bryce can heave it 55-60 yards to him if he gets the time in the pocket, so you still need to keep a safety with an eye on those routes when he's on the field.

If they run too fast they will take themselves out of range. It’s a challenge.

If Bryce turns the ball over in the first 3 drives we are cooked

first outdoor game for Falcons and Panthers are letting them wear white
