Kealoha pilares the quiet secret weapon.

With his halfback background and everyman mentality i see Pilares making that push towards the second man behind steve smith. With his recent TC performances it's going to be even more exciting to see him during the preseason. I expect him to surprise alot of people he reminds me of wes welker with a mix of danny woodhead.

Hes just now getting his opportunity in TC and from what i've seen hes turning into a weapon every is keeping quiet about.

He caught 88 passes last season and 15 touchdowns for the warriors while returning punts and kickoffs. Yes the warrior offense is pass heavy but being able to catch 88 passes with 4 other receivers on the field battling for the ball is something special.

I don't see where all the "Kealoha pilares is steve smith" stuff is coming from. The guy made some nice catches yesterday but is far from a lock to make the team. With armanti locking down a spot,i would say that put pilares behind the 8 ball. Can we see one preseason game before crowning him the next agent 89?

Um... who said that? I said he reminds me of Smith, mainly referring to his size and quickness... I just want to know how he's doing in camp.

I think he will go on the IR with a mysterious injury, and not play a down for us this year.

I thought the same thing. Barnidge too. However, with Gettis's hamstring and knee....

I am going out on a limb. We will keep 6 WRs. Edwards, Pilares, lafell and possibly Naanee and Gettis have special teams possibilites. I see Pilares and Naanee as possible gunners. Lafell, Edwards, or Gettis as possible kick/punt returners. Makes more sense than keeping CJ Davis.

My take is this: If your backup OL can be kept on the PS (players like R. Pugh), then all you need at gametime is a player who can fill a spot in a pinch. Bernardeau can play center and both guards. Ziemba can play RT and possible RG, some say LT. Some teams do not have the luxury of keeping a reserve OL on the PS because they are older. Would you rather have Pugh + a roster spot or CJ Davis?

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
