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.

per rotoworld...

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.

      What we had then, what we have now...

      By d-dave · Posted

      If only those guys grew on trees? The 2015 team was really special.  That was such an incredible year until the Super Bowl. What happened was the owner let the football people handle football decisions.  We had a front office that made some really good decisions.  Just hit on FAs and draft picks at a high level.  Those guys became GREAT players.  Our head coach held the team to a standard, but allowed them to be themselves.  That let so many of those guys grow into vocal leaders and tone setters.  Then we had Cam play lights out for the entire year.  We had a defense led by Luke, one of the best to ever play.  We had guys like Greg and TD who were so smart and tenacious. That was a special team.  The biggest question is how do we bring that back?  We don't because we can't.  Instead, we need to build up the team again.  Bryce is not Cam, duh.  Maybe he's not even the guy next season.  But there are some dudes like DB, Horn, Chubba who are all high character, effort productive players. As team, they need to lean into what they do well, and give Bryce his opportunities to prove himself.  If not, you keep building the best team and work on that QB.

      Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was less than thrilled after the Miami Dolphins lost against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, 27-24, dropping their record to 1-4 on the season. "He was really frustrated, just like I was," head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday. "We talked about the challenge ahead to get ready for the Los Angeles Chargers, and that was really the extent of it." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25257873-mike-mcdaniel-admits-dolphins-owner-was-really-frustrated-after-loss-panthers
