Ian Scott
July 31, 2008
Carolina Panthers Defensive Tackle Ian Scott will only miss a couple of weeks of practice, after an MRI showed that Scott sprained his MCL. Scott and the Panthers can breath a sigh of relief after seeing Scott go down in practice Wednesday, with what appeared to be a much worse injury.
New Year, New Defense
July 31, 2008
With all of the free agent acquisitions, draft selections, and line shuffling, the Carolina Panther’s offense has somewhat overshadowed the defense during this first week of training camp. Yes, Jonathan Stewart and Jeff Otah have looked good, if not great, but so have a number of the Panthers defensive players, such as Julius Peppers, who has looked very sharp the first few days of camp.
One of the big changes to the defense this year, has actually been a philosophy change, not a roster change. Read more
Training Camp Update 7/30
July 30, 2008
On Monday and Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers hit the practice fields with a few changes from the weekend, and shed some light on the potential of Carolina’ draft picks and aspiring starters.
Panthers right guard free agent pickup Keydrick Vincent practiced with the first team Monday, competing with Toniu Fonoti, who practiced with the first team over the weekend. Both Vincent and Fonoti will see more reps with the first team in order to decide who will win the starting job, not to mention how their performance in the preseason games.
Kemoeatu, Walker, Lewis, and Scott Sit Out
July 30, 2008
Both of the Panthers starting defensive tackles sat out of practice today, as well as two of their backup tackles. Maake Kemoeatu- shoulder, Damione Lewis- leg, Darwin Walker- head. None of the injuries are supposed to be serious, and all three should return to practice later in the week.
The fourth DT, Ian Scott injured what appeared to be his knee and will have to go and see doctors, his status is unkown.
Nick Goings also returned to practice.
Carolina Panthers Fantasy Outlook
July 29, 2008
Fantasy speaking, the Panthers have never had very strong fantasy players, with the exception of Steve Smith in 2005. Now with Carolina’s revamped offensive line, potentially strong running game, and additional targets for Jake Delhomme, what is the Panther’s fantasy value?
Conventional wisdom would say that Steve Smith is the best fantasy player on the Panthers roster, and should be a third round value in your fantasy league, but I think Jake Delhomme has more fantasy value. Delhomme, who got off to the best start of his career last season, was actually the number three rated quarterback in the league for the first three games. Read more
