I can't see them cutting Fua after bringing him back damn that would suck for him.

 

I can.

 

Happens all the time.  Teams manipulate the roster based on where they might need extra depth for a week or two, then cut a guy loose when it's no longer needed.

 

He might stick around if there are more injury issues, but if the DL stays healthy and another spot is hurting, he could easily be gone again.

 

That's the NFL.

 

Don't feel too sorry for him though.  He'll make in a week what some folks make in a year.

We have 3 centers on the roster, the last of which was kept because Byers was hurt. As much as I'd love to see Fua cut... Folkerts is likely the guy.

 

To be fair though, they already had that option when they set the final roster and chose Folkerts.

 

And although he will adjust for depth purposes, Gettleman has said he doesn't go by set numbers in position groups.  He chooses one guy over another based on who's the better player.

 

In that regard, I'd be in favor of signing Harewood and dumping Fua.

I dunno, Jay, but we killed their first team OGs and he was fighting for a second-team job----and lost. 

 

 

Granted, how linemen perform against our line isn't really the best measuring stick. Our D-Line has literally destroyed every line it's faced this year. That includes quite a few pro-bowl and all-pro linemen.

Star tossed Kelechi Osemele aside like he was nothing, but I'd definitely take Osemele on our roster any day.

 

If you were watching a Thanksgiving matchup between the Cowboys and Packers some years back, you got to see a young right tackle getting tossed around like a rag doll by the great Reggie White.  At the time, White's left arm was injured, so he did all the tossing on one arm.  Made that poor kid look terrible. 

 

Lotsa people might have thought that young fella was destined for the scrap heap after that.  As it turns out though, Larry Allen switched back to his natural guard position and had a pretty good career.

I hope that trend continues.  Of all the things I saw Sunday, Starlite was a beast.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
