In discussions with the press today, Ron Rivera gave an update on Andre Neblett. Apparently, he has been suffering from "hypertension, stress, and fatigue". Throw in his 4 game suspension, and it is not looking very good for Andre.

We are really thin at the 3 tech DT position. We have McClain and...?

Unless someone like Chandler really steps up, it seems this is an area we will need to address.

My guess is they wait until the Monday following game 1 to bring someone in, avoiding the salary guarantee should we add someone to the 53 before week 1.

In any case, this is an area to keep an eye on, and let's hope McClain shows good growth going into year 2.

Strange symptoms for a guy of his age and physical fitness, hope it's nothing serious.

As for the "cheating douche" comment, grow the fug up, you don't have a clue about what he popped positive for. It takes very little to throw a flag.

I do hope we bring some guys in, with Edwards playing the typical NT, we're going to need a good DT who can get penetration, but not be moved off his spot vs the run.

I hope Neblett gets cut. 4 game suspension doesn't nullify the fact that he's a cheating douche.

Don't you EVER question a player, unless you are a current or former commissoner then you have no right to comment on this.

This board is turning into a troll circus fast. It only takes about two comments into each thread before a newly christened huddle doucher successfully attempts to turn every topic into a pissing match.

It's getting to the point where you only read the OP then bow out before it gets ugly.

I Agree! This forum has become really dumb. Grown up men trying to pick chit chat fights all the time to see who's better or think they know better.

Blame the MODS for this $hit. Even sometimes they're the one making smart comments. I careless to speak my mind

The mods really need to tighten up on the b.s. It is really holding this forum back a ton.

As far the failed test it was because of an otc dietary supplement. http://blogs.charlot...-drug-test.html

The fatigue and stress very well could be related to personal problem and nothing to with football.

Now back to what the OP was saying. You bring up a very good point, but I just dont see us being able to pick up anyone special. I wouldnt be opposed to giving up a 5th or 6th to a team loaded with 3 techs(if there even is a such a team). The rookies played a ton of snaps to start the year last year due to us starting the season with 3 healthy DT'S. Whether it be thru cuts or giving up a late round pick I certainly hope we can find someone to at least fill the void to Neblett comes back.

Also while its certainly not ideal but maybe we could see Fua and Edwards line up next to each other at times. While neither are likely to get much pressure on qb's in time, i'm sure they could open up some holes on blitzes.

OP could've meant bringing in someone who is cut. He never said brining someone by a trade

It's not like he was juicing...

Theres all sorts of over the counter supplements that are banned from the NFL and I highly doubt most random young backup players know each and every one of them. Didn't the same thing happen to Peppers his rookie year?

      It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway.

      I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
