I'd be willing to bet that it's Captain again. They might let AE give it another shot. Adams probably won't get another shot until someone fugs up.

This. I think Captain goes until we play a team that passes a lot more because then he'll be on defense more. Then we should see edwards.

I wouldn't be opposed to Edwards trying again. The blocking he had last year was beyond abysmal, although it's not much better this year. In his limited play time so far, he's looked a lot more confident. I'd like to see if that translates to the return game. He never fumbled a ball last year so at least there's not that concern like there is with Adams.

Joe will be back in there this week. Coaching staff sat his ass down to make a point. Hang on to the ball or you wont play.

With the almost devastating injury to kalil they may not let him dress just to have another linemen ready to go. If someones only skill is returning and others are already doing better I think they sit him again.

Realistically it needs to be Joe, we drafted him for special teams purposes; it's time to let him get adjusted to the life an NFL punt returner. If he hasn't figured it out by the end of the year, then it probably won't work out.

At least it was only a 4th rounder and not next years 2nd to convert him to WR from QB. :rolleyes:

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
