Fox Digging the Vibe Out of Training Camp
Thursday, June 12th, 2008John Fox is liking what he’s seeing from training camp in Spartanburg, SC, where it is unholy levels of hot right now (NC is a total nightmare and south of the border it doesn’t get any better). Jonathan Stewart is a little healthier and it appears that the O-line could be big/dangerous/a surprise.
On the makeover [...]
Otah Chats with the Observer
Monday, June 2nd, 2008Nice little Q&A — although it’s fairly bland per standard newspaper talks to rookie offensive lineman who isn’t about to fire off any crazy quotes — from ITP with Jeff Otah. The first year tackle is still on the sidelines which means that his role and what he sees on the field is pretty limited. [...]
Cats Cornering Offensive Line Market
Friday, March 28th, 2008I don’t want to say that the Panthers are overdoing it on signing offensive lineman, because it’s really tough to do that, but jeebus…how many are we going to have on the roster by the time we head into camp?
It’s fine though - over the past few years, we’ve definitely had issues with injuries [...]
Gross Accepts Tender for Franchise Tag
Thursday, March 20th, 2008After the Cats stuck Jordan Gross with the franchise tag, all that was left in terms of getting ready for next year was to have him agree to the offer. Because, you know, he kind of had too. Plus, he gets over seven mil this year, so what’s the big problem, right? ITP reports that [...]
Peppers on the Trading Block? Prabs.
Monday, March 17th, 2008Courtesy of friend of Mittens (the blog that is), Moose, comes this link to ESPN’s saucy little rumor mill, where they point out that Julius Peppers was hanging out in Denver for the Nuggets game Sunday. Know what that means? PEPPERS IS GETTING TRADED TO THE BRONCOS!!! That’s right. Purportedly for Keary Colbert. Straight up. [...]
Lock Up the Back Up: O-Line Revelations
Thursday, March 6th, 2008Why you might ask, would we not offer Barry Gibbs a two or three year contract? The simple answer to that would be that he is old as dirt. Of course he wants a two to three year deal. If I was at the end of my career, I’d probably be looking to extend my [...]
Panthers Sign O-G Keydrick Vincent
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Ah, the sweet stench of success that follows with inking backup offensive lineman. Big time baby! Seriously, I’m fine with this move.
Vincent, who is 6-foot-5 and 325 pounds, will be 30 in April. He played in eight games for the Cardinals last season, but has participated in 67, with 49 starts, in his [...]
