Armanti Edwards had one hell of a catch tonight

[Neylus]

Armanti loses focus when contact is a factor. Great catch just needs to show he can do that instead of getting scared when the chips are down.

[monstercat]

which begs the question, why be down on him...

Seriously. The kid is learning two jobs that are completely new to him. Did anybody really expect it to happen overnight?

I dunno if Cam threw that ball too give AE a challange or something. I suspect that was it because AE was wide open, don't see how the pass got thrown to the inside like that.

If he was lead more or thrown more to the right, it would have been an easy td.

But it was a fantastic catch. Good to see progress for AE!

Keep in mind he was drafted with the assumption that he might not do anything his first year

"We think he has the talent to warrant that," Hurney said. "You're talking about him having a year to develop and a year to train at the wide receiver position and returns or however we decide to use him.

"Hopefully in a year we'll see that it was the right thing to do. He has a lot of qualities that make you think he is going to be a very good football player."

Per Steve Reed, Rivera said WR Armanti Edwards has done “a great job. Apparently whatever Armanti has done this offseason in terms of his commitment has paid off. He’s had a good couple of workouts and that was good to see. He’s transformed himself. He’s done a heck of a job…. He spent a lot of time working out with his teammates and developing that bond.”

All this talk about Armanti makes me wonder about Gettis

What's going on with him? Nothing ?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Gettis looked good yesterday. Same for LaFell, not much difference between the two that I saw.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Armanti is not afraid of contact, or getting hit or anything.

His awkwardness stemmed from being out of his comfort zone, I can promise you, I saw the kid play against big times schools like Michigan and LSU.

He's tough, and people will see that this season.

I'm not going to say it like Bruce did Esc because the incites conflict and we have enough name calling a poo flinging on this forum (a good reason to stay away during non football months) but he is right.

The actual catch that is mentioned here was a bump and run one on one drill...there was contact at the line...and throughout the entire route if I remember correctly (5 beers in)

The kid deserves the props he has gotten on here the last couple of days...he was very good and looked like he is ready to step it up.

Edit: Wrong the bump and run was another catch he made. But believe me when I say, getting hit at the line, at least yesterday, did not affect him. The kid caught ever single ball that come his way. Be it a pass or a kick.

I think its because he got a haircut but I could be wrong :P

[CarolinaKat]

Nice arm on Cam and good placement. Edwards burned The Captain. These drills are thrown to certain landmarks. Like front orange cone back orange cone. Over the receivers inside shoulder, outside shoulder. This was a good play by both of them, hope it works that well in a real game

[beastson]

That was nice

Armanti cut his hair ?

His stance look like him but how smooth he's running doesn't. Interesting

[GSO_Pantherz]

Glad to hear he is doing well in practice so far. It is also amazing that some people want to hate on the guy even after hearing of his improvement. Haters... If he has a decent season there should be an "Eat Crow Thread" made.

[Edward Teach]

We had to be sitting close to one another...I had about the same view. Thanks for the video post!

[Reapuh]

Anyone know anything about his off-season training?

I don't know if anyone answered this but..

He has spent a large part of the summer working on route techniques with former Panther receiver Muhsin Muhammad, who has tried to get Edwards to use his hands more to get off the jams that NFL cornerbacks employ to throw receivers off-stride.
