Practices notes

[Ivan The Awesome]

Are they wearing pads? If not then the Rookies have it easy.

One of the more entertaining plays in practice today was Geoff Hangartner catching a TD pass on a fake field goal. I was so blown away watching #63 going for the pass, I didn't notice who threw it.

lol epic. Nothing funnier than watching a big guy in a full sprint.

he was defended and the separation was.....well....non-existent. But he went up and got it. Drew a big round of applause. Way to go Piggie!

Theyre not going full speed, well 89 isnt anyways. He's not a spring chicken to be goin all out right now like some youngin thats trying to get recognized. Its nice to hear, its nice, dont get me wrong, but theres like 3 guys in the nfl that can hold their own against 89. . . and one of those 3 plays for us.

Reed said that Smitty looked extremely fast out there today.....so that shoots holes in your entire arguement and post.

I hope Norman doestn piss Smitty off too much - you know the last Panthers CB that did so ............

norman just has to make sure not to stare at smitty in the shower.

i endorse this 100%.

i actually don't like the idea of any key starters playing in pre-season games. it's far too risky for a game that doesn't matter.

I support young players getting reps. I support role players getting reps.

Studs who also are vets like Smith? No reps. Find a bs reason and hold him out.

Cam in another year or so shouldn't sniff a preseason game. Colts use to sit Manning. Always thought that was the right call.....and they won 10+ games every year for a decade

Im glad to hear about Norman, but are they in pads?

[KendrickPanther]

LOL you dont know Steve Smith then. Ask anyone and they will tell you Smith treats Practice like a real game. Plus he is not going to let a Rook school him willingly in any way, shape, or form.

This is the guy that broke his arm in a YMCA flag football game. He loves to compete!

give clausen time and an opportunity to show some team that he'd be worth a 5th round pick or something.

no, but at this point it doesn't really matter.

[KendrickPanther]

Clausen did not look good today. He was throwing to scrubs but his Arm didn't look strong and he made bad decisions.
