But with David Gettis expected to be activated next week, Armanti Edwards' clock is ticking. #Panthers should give him a shot at Chicago.

[Kurb]

Yeah if anything Edwards is just waiting for a chance. He hasn't been given any chance to succeed that's for sure...

[nosuchthingasapanther]

with rivera's neck in a noose, i doubt he gets a shot this season.

[Lilsmitty09]

sweet. get to activate him next week to cheer on the sidelines for the read option

Quote of the year with just about everything: "next week"

Even back to the good ole days over the summer when we all thought Brees was meeting with Benson "next week".

[nctarheel0619]

I wouldn't mind seeing Armanti in the game a few times. Just for shits and giggles.

[Kettle]

what will we do now?!

Armanti has contributed a fair amount this year when given a chance. He has had some really good blocks on the edge and he threw a decent pass on his only opportunity. It's a shame Smith was tripped up before he could catch it.

Panthers WR David Gettis (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the PUP list in Week 9.

The Gettis activation will require Carolina to drop a player from the bottom of its 53-man roster. Gettis beat out Brandon LaFell for a starting job when they were both rookies two years ago. It isn't crazy to think Gettis could eventually begin cutting into LaFell's playing time down the season's stretch.

if gettis pans out, i say move smith to the slot and have gettis and lafell as your wideouts.

Sorry, but I am going to have to disagree with this. IMO, you want a speed guy in the slot. Gettis is the fastest of those three. But, Gettis is built like a WR so that doesn't work either. Ah hell...

Although, upon further review. Smitty on a LB would be plenty of fun to watch.

Also, he looked plenty quick on that bubble screen. Did not realize he was that fast. Oh well, still not gonna miss him. Actually forget sometimes that he is even on the team.

[PantherPhann89]

I wonder how long it will take him to get back up to speed. I expect him to take Murphy off the field immediately.

cut him and hogan
