Hypothetical Question

Lets say Kenjon Barner has a great Preseason. Which it's looking like he will. Week 1 rolls around and Stewart isn't ready yet. Or Stewart gets hurt and has to miss a game or two. Who starts in his place? Williams/Tolbert or Williams/Barner.

 

Nonetheless he is probably the future and I expect to see Barner used in the passing game a lot this season.

Williams/Tolbert with a little Barner sprinkled in.

What would Barner have to show you in Preseason for you to feel comfortable starting him over Tolbert? Tolbert relied on our OL to make holes and his size to gain yards. I feel that if our OL suffers an injury or is worse than expected we could need Barners speed on the outside.

Williams/Barner

Tolbert is still the primary full back, lets not forget that his first job is to block. However, if Stewart is out, Tolbert will receive extra carries and most likely all of the goal line carries.

I think people get so caught up in the fact that we are paying our running backs a fortune that they don't realize how lucky we are to have four good half backs.

Solid pass blocking and an understanding of protection schemes.

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
