TAUREN POOLE

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Poole needs to show that he can play special teams to stick around because he won't be getting carries unless we blow out someone (like we did last year against the Bucs) where Josh Vaughn had 24 rushing yards on seven attempts. The thing with Vaughn is that he is a very good special teams player. Vaughn recorded nine tackles in seven games on special teams last year. If Poole can prove his value on special teams than he gets the nod over Vaughn, easy as that.

I watched every game he played in last year at UT. Guy is much better than people give him credit for. I'm excited to see him perform well.

Poole will make the team. He is the better Goodson.

RB- Williams, Stewart, and Poole

FB- Tolbert

I want to see Poole try to return some kickoffs

Get tired of dumb comments like this one.

The only question is HOW MANY RUNNING BACKS WILL THE PANTHERS KEEP?

If the answer is 3 (if Tolbert is listed as an FB), then should Poole be the third one?

That's all that matters as far as this thread is concerned, not "reps".

Poole can be the 3rd RB with Tolbert the FB and Brockel the 3rd TE / backup FB. It's the best set up because if anyone gets hurt, we have another guy that is solid right behind him.

unless he's great at STs i doubt he ever gets a jersey on game day.

Uh what? Tauren Poole is most definitely a speed back.

He is a downhill runnner. From all the games I have seen of him he uses his power. I didn't say he was big back, just a powerful one. He isn't particularly speedy but uses his strength well.

No good reason why Poole shouldn't be the 3rd RB. Only way he shouldn't make the roster is if we don't keep anyone other than Williams/Stewart & Tolbert.

[FirstRoundPick]

Never understood why people liked guys like Vaughn and Robertson. Poole is a category above them in that he deserves a roster spot.

I thought he looked good last night. I said it pre-draft he is going to be a good one. Talk about a embaressment of riches at the backfield options. Chud must lie in bed at night thinking of diabolical schemes.
