Corvey Irvin : "Comeback Kid"


MrBubba

Recommended Posts

Must admit I had about forgotten about him. Reed's got a write up.

His name: Corvey Irvin.

You may remember him as being Carolina’s third-round pick in 2009, the kid who never panned out. Many wrote him off as a bust, and understandably so, after the Panthers cut him from the 53-man roster last August.

Well, hold everything.

Irvin is back.

I guess that's encouraging. Is Hayden working with the 1s? If not. I have no idea why we resigned him.

Hayden must have some serious dirt on someone in the organization, he needs to go away ASAP.

Another reason to pull for Corvey Irvin this off-season...hopefully he can take Hayden's roster spot.

This is some of the best news out of camp honestly. If Irvin could be a legitimate starter along with Ron Edwards and have depth with McClain and Fua, we might actually have a respectable group at DT.

Now, if we can just do something about CB... Only glaring hole left on the roster

If you follow Charles Johnson on twitter he had mentioned Irvin several times over the past few months. Both went to UGA and had been working out together.

I figured he was camp fodder and then probably done for good at final cuts. There really is a lot to be hopeful for regarding the Panthers.

This year may not be the best record wise, but I will be content as long as we are competitive and show improvement. Next year I want the playoffs.

    • Blowout incoming and the wheels fall off. Parsons will have multiple sacks, prob a FF. Media immediately starts saying the Bryce era is over 
    • It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
