Tight Ends - Ton o Talent, will we use it?

Panthers have been paying into the Tight End kitty for a while but so far not getting the performance I have been anticipating in the passing game. Running game has been rocking as we all know in part due to superior tight end blocking

Jeff King, great blocking back with good hands, got a big contract.

Dante Rosario started last season off with a bang with that game winning catch in San Diego and he had a great game overall as Steve Smith was suspended.

Gary Barnidge has many people excited about his potential . . . 6'5" speedy guy who can stretch the field as well as a good blocker

I used to watch Shannon Sharp bail out John Elway time and again on third and long or as plays broke down. And Wesley Walls was the man inside the 20 yard line for the Panthers !

Hope that new Quarterback coach helps Delhomme learn to use these guys more. I love to see our Tight Ends get twice as many passes thrown their way this year and make more than twice as many catches!

the reason we don't use our TE's like we should and went through a spell prior to King where we acquired the position mainly for blocking has a great deal to do with the one behind center. That game is just not his bag. And when I say "that game" I am talking about finding the open man and making the easy play.

Unless the NFL let's us have multiple players wear the #89 no because that's the only # Jake Delhomme throws to.

Careful careful. The snugglers will be upon you and claim victory for your use of the word "only". Great heaps of stats are about to be dumped on you for that.

For the record I know what you mean though and you should not worry about the snugglers. They can't help that they like Jake and they have the right to. Just realize that your opinion and position on the matter will be constantly reinforced by the vehement defense that comes from the "other side". To me that always says a lot.

I think the shift in what we have been targeting has changed to more pass catchers and athletes than immobile, hands of stone meat-heads and that encourages me for two reasons.

That Jake is going to have more outlets to use as soon as he figures out how and that a new QB coming in will have a small stable of help to bail him out as he adjusts to the system.

I think all three are studs.

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
