Panthers won't cut Armanti Edwards anytime soon

For those of you looking on the wires for Armanti's name, its not going to happen.

 

Edwards is a great camp player. He is always on time, pays attention, gives all he has got. They need guys like him so that they have enough WRs to conduct a full camp and evaluate QBs and DBs. AE has the respect of all the players and coaches.

 

I don't believe he will make the team this year. Look for him to be one of the last cuts made in August.

Not only is he a good camp player but I don't see them making many (if any really) WR cuts before they absolutely have to.  It's a position, like the secondary positions are, where we're going to go into camp with way too many people on the roster to promote competition then make cuts near the end after they're damn sure they  have the best group of receivers possible out of what's available.

 

Besides...I don't see why I'd want to see him cut this early anyway.  Do we gain anything from it aside from some sort of satisfaction that he's gone?

In addition, its not like he would catch on quickly with another team. They did Keiser a favor by cutting him early. He may be able to catch on to another team. But when the Panthers are done with Armanti he will be in the CFL. Probably do REALLY well there.

Armanti is the ultimate example of an over draft victim here.  This organization gave up way too much for him and he has faced unrelenting criticism and unrealistic expectations.  If we had drafted the kid where he should have been drafted 6th, 7th or UDFA no one would have a bad word to say other than "damn, I wish Armanti would have panned out."  That would have been the end of it, but noooooooo, Marty had to trade 7,000 picks and use a 3rd rounder to get him.  Not Armanti's fault, but that's the life of a pro football player.  I hate it happened to him but this is after all, a business, of which he has none being here after camp.

      WR drops

      To be fair, I kind of like Bo but he was BAD this past weekend.

      What I noticed was Tmac running free on deep routes a lot. Can we just get PJ or Hooker to throw go routes on every play for the rest of the season? It would be more exiting than this current mess.

      Week 2 - Panthers @ Cardinals (practice tweets, news articles, videos, etc)

      By Icege · Posted

      We're all aware of the frustrating Week 1 for Carolina, but there's reasons to see Arizona as a possible get-right game. While this will be Zona's home opener (requiring the team to travel out west), they were barely able to hold on to a lead against the hapless Saints who got a chance to tie the game up with 2min left that ended at the ARI 18. Kyler Murray was 21/29 with 2 passing TDs but for only 163yds (5.6yd AVG) and a QBR of 50.9 (RTG 108.8). He was also sacked five times for 33yds. Meanwhile, Spencer Rattler went 27/46 and was sacked just once for 6yds. Kyler also carried the ball seven times for 38yds. James Conner struggled to get going (12 carries, 39yds) but Trey Benson had a good day thanks to a 52yd scamper (8 carries, 69yds). Arizona has weapons in MHJ and McBride, but the CBs have been playing well enough for McBride to be the true focus of the defense. MHJ had a good game though against the Saints, so hopefully Jaycee + Mike Jackson can disrupt that connection. The Cardinals also aren't a disciplined team... with an opportunity to put the Saints away they gave up a TFL and a holding penalty before having the field goal attempt blocked. Their OL suuuuucks at run blocking and got better pass blocking from their TEs in week 1 than they did from any OL except for Paris Johnson Jr. Isaiah Adams and Hjalte Froholdt especially had issues as did Jonah Williams. If the Panthers' revamped DL can't get pressure against them it might be worth giving the alarm a pull.
