Forgot about Klein. He is looking good. Nice job on the interception. He is making the case to take Blackburn's job.
Nortman's punt had the distance for a 85-90 yard punt as it rolled through the end zone. That is ridiculous. On the other hand, the other punter was awful in the second half. He'll get a bus ticket next week.
If the kid lives up to his potential (and he's certainly looking the part in the early going), your GM should be lauded as a genius for signing Avant and Cotchery. By themselves, no one would rightly consider either to be world beaters, but both being savvy vets, and with different skill sets that are complementary to KB's on the field, you don't need them to be, and they're looking to provide an experienced, and cheap, support network for developing their young prospect...if King has anything more than a 3rd gear, and can actually be a credible deep threat that D's have to at least put a guy on, I am going to completely revamp my expectations of this passing offense, which heretofore I have to admit, I've largely ignored.
Tough to fault him with how well he's pulling this team together. Easy to nitpick at the late RB draft picks, IMO, but that doesn't guarantee they get a contributor elsewhere if they take someone else with that pick. The OL is the only place I can think to potentially fault him, and that's due to Kugbila's selection, not getting an OT this year, and spending the picks (late ones) on guys that IMO didn't have much of a chance of sticking (Gaffney, Barner).
Not really. No one hits on every pick and everyone takes some flyers. But in general he has made the right call many times. I do think a lot of the blame Hurney shouldered really should have fallen on Richardson. It's my understanding from several people that it was Richardson who wanted the huge contract for Jake, for one example, not Hurney. I think Gman gets a lot more room to do his thing than Hurney did.
He was getting cut so at least we got something. And I wouldn't be surprised if he does OK in Philly. It's a much more gadgety offense. We are not really trying to fool anyone when you get down to it. We play power run football and that really isn't Barner's thing.
Not sure this is true. Williams was sat down for Stewart already once. If Stewart stays healthy then I could see him getting the majority of the touches. DW is on the wrong side of 30 and no longer seems to have quite the burst he did. Plus this team wants to run between the tackles and that isn't Williams thing.Fever in the Funkhouse said:

He sprained his ankle in the third pre-season game. He also had a minor shoulder injury. But even before that he hadn't shown much in the way of progress.
He could become a very good slot/possession type receiver. He is tall at 6'3". He has good hands and has really developed his route running. Just not elite speed. 4.6 40 time.
Way more valuable in real life than fantasy
Hill is one of the more baffling flops I've seen. Dominant in college (when GT threw the ball), and the measurables are there too.
to Anderson for doing a good job in Cam's place.
KB can reach up and snatch a crow out of the sky for you, if you need some help.
I was pleasantly surprised with how Anderson played today. I won't hold that overthrow against him. Cam usually has at least one bad overthrow per game. Nice road win!!
DA probably wanted the guys to feel at home. I stated a couple of days ago that if i was the coach, DA was starting regardless. He's our best QB until Cam can run again.
This for me. I think it was well called from the Shula's perspective as well. Lots of short/intermediate routes that actually help the o-line. If there's one thing I hope Cam noticed/observed yesterday it's getting the ball out of his hands quickly. They'll be very successful if he does this.
Whoa.Rumblings around the CLT that the Panthers are meeting today to consider the cutting of Greg Hardy

Unfortunately I just dont see Hardy as a Panther next year.
What it comes down to is getting sued. What everyone seems to forget is Ray Rice confessed. He was found guilty and given a sentence. He didn't appeal or ever claim to be innocent. Hardy is appealing his sentence his guilt or innocence is still up to a jury. If the Panthers cut him now the Players Union would start paying lawyers. The NFL has asked the teams to let the legal process work through and then to let the league take the lead on punishment to avoid as much court time as possible.
