I thought Hogan HAS to be activated or he cant play the rest of the season...

He had to be activated off of the Physically Unable to Perform list, or else face going on injured reserve.

This week, he'll just be inactive during the game, but still active on the team, if that makes any sense.

3 minutes ago - by Jeff Hawkins - Will rookie Brandon Hogan take over punt returns?

With rookie CB Brandon Hogan fielding punts during practice this week, it could be a sign the Armanti Edwards experiment is ending. Edwards had a strong preseason, but is now averaging only 5.5 yards per punt return. “I would like us to improve our return game,” coach Ron Rivera said. Panthers RapidReports

So Matt spends all week studying film and all he sees is the guys numbers. And it is some type of diss that he doesn't know CJ's name? I love how people here think football players keep up with the NFL outside their team. They don't have time to watch football outside of their own team during the season.

TBH he is the highest paid DE in the NFL and has been doing very well this year. Also he will get to know the name Hardy as well this Sunday.

How would Matt know he's playing real well? Does he watch the games on TV Sundays? I think he might be busy with his job. He watches game film which is not a tv broadcast. He only goes by what he sees. And I'm pretty sure he could care less how much a DE makes. That doesn't affect how he plays against them. If you asked Cam to name the starting defense for the Titans, he probably couldn't name half of them.

Yes. Many of them do. A good percentage of them play fantasy football as well, so that keeps them informed. They also keep up with free agency, especially when it comes to making a certain player the highest paid at his position or close to it.

To say he doesn't know who Charles Johnson is by name was apparently perceived as a diss by CJ, so I don't get why everyone is shooting the messenger.

I don't see where Matt took a shot. As a professional he is trained to know the numbers. And to not let the media goad him into trying to make anything personal is also class IMO. Stupid to think this was a personal diss of any sort.

I still hope CJ rips the QB's head off though.

Are you going to tell CJ that it was stupid to perceive it as a diss?

Players know their opponents by numbers. Where are you getting the idea that many play fantasy football and where are you getting that Matt plays and if he did why would he know C. Johnson?

Much is being made about absolutely nothing. Charles Johnson's response was pretty much just making a little joke.

Ever heard them when they are talking on the sidelines or on the field? Certainly many know each others names but they aren't NFL dorks like us.

im pretty sure their weekly game plans consist of depth charts and rosters with names and numbers. if not, i bet they get posted up.

Johnson needs to have a big game Sunday. The entire defense does. Sadly, I expect Johnson to have a break out game this week.

Not that I take fantasy projections seriously, but he is favored to get 24 points Sunday, and I also learned that the Panthers have allowed the most fantasy points to RBs in the entire NFL. Yikes! take it for what it's worth.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
