Looks like a torn ACL, but we'll see.

Definitely looks like, Martin will get the start against us week 1. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing though as Martin has looked like the stronger back. With the way our D (and Tampa's, lol) has been playing though, I 'm not sure it'll matter.

After suffering a second-quarter left knee injury in Friday night's preseason game against the Titans, LeGarrette Blount reappeared on the Bucs' sideline walking around without ice or a brace on his leg.

Perhaps the injury is not as serious as initially believed. Blount could be seen limping along the sideline, but he'd likely be iced or braced up if the Bucs feared a debilitating knee injury. We should find out more in the coming hours and/or days. Blount played 14 snaps against the Titans, per our count, starting the game but ceding all third-down work and multiple full first-team drives to impressive rookie Doug Martin. Blount finished with 11 yards on eight carries and a dropped pass.

martin looks to be the better back anyways. it wouldn't surprise me to see blount be downgraded to a short yardage/goal line back sooner than later.

      The panthers offense right now is spiritually the same as the 2010s Seahawks. They want to keep it close until the fourth quarter and then try to pull a rabbit out of their hat. instead of running marshawn into the line 30 times a game, we’re throwing 20 passes behind the line of scrimmage. And instead of Russell Wilson bullshit, we’re getting 20 yard drives to set up a 55 yard field goal. Also that team had multiple hall of famers and we’ve got the worst qb in the league by whatever collections of metrics you want to use

      So if Bryce could have come to Carolina with the same advantages he had every year at Alabama he would have been successful. Good coaches. Top recruiting classes far better than the opposition. Defense able to bail him out if he has a bad game.  Still doesnt change anything regarding footwork, mechanics, drop backs, reading the field, poor placement or any of the other myriad of issues that are still present in year 3.  Bryce wasn't ready to be the day 1 starter. There's nothing wrong with that. Dalton was clearly the more capable QB, as evidenced by what happened in Seattle in the rain, under extreme pressure. Same players, same coach, same terrible offensive line. Two different offenses.  When you look at Bryce and what he's done in game over the course of 3 years it's not pretty. He has moments of good, but there's been a lot more WTF. But saying Bryce would have been able to lead a team to the playoffs? Based on what we saw from him, he probably would have spent a good bit of year one on the bench holding a clipboard.

      Feels on brand for Mike Brown.  He's very anti trade.
