week 4 . CAR@NE .. PRACTICE news

[PatsFan2]

Excellent - half their team not practicing and distractions galore.

Good we could use a breather going into next Thursday.

 

[PatsFan2]

I know BB might think otherwise but I would give Hightower one more week just because of the short turnaround. Anybody who gets seriously nicked up will definitely miss Thursday. Would like a healthy Hightower for a tough Road game...after next Thursdays game we would have a few extra days to rest.

I think I'm with you, but man, Hightower would help against Newton. Weapons or no weapons, we need linebackers to slow down his legs.

They may use him in limited capacity on critical downs. They wouldn't let him play unless they are sure he's ready.

Newton is a shadow of himself. He's playing hurt and looks indecisive and shell shook. And he doesn't really have any dangerous targets other than McCaffrey. I'm not too concerned about him. We need to keep Donta under wraps....

I've seen lines like this too many times. Good players always have good games in them, especially if you underestimate them.

Team officials fear Cam Newton's body is already starting to break down

Good thread on a Panthers board documenting Cams struggles....

Cam Newton isn't the type to come back and have a terrific game when they write him down. He may still have a decent game but he isn't Brady like in bouncing back from a bad outing.

Believe that if you want, and you may end up right, but if Hightower is ready to go and they hold him out because they're not concerned about Cam Newton, I find that to be a tad irresponsible. Not to mention Belichick very very rarely operates that way.

Possible exception being that there's another game in a short 4 day window on Thursday.
I see High as active but not "starting" and used sparingly.

Good news continues. Unless you love Burkhead.

I love Burkhead.

Really sucks he kinda reminds me of Malcolm Mitchell. Because of injuries they will never reach their full potential.

Mitchell may or may not be back this year. I would think that he will be given a chance agains in 2018. He is a very inexpensive #5 WR, even for a player who play part of a season.

 

[PatsFan2]

Definitely can't play statue with a LT like Nate Solder.

Don't know where you got the may not from I heard M. Mitchell will be back. That said by then Phillip Dorsett would have plenty of time to learn our Playbook and get more comfortably with Brady.

I guess "Burkhead, ribs" must mean BROKEN ribs, rather than bruised.

Unfortunately EVERY QB we’ve faced so far has thrown for 300+ yards, whether he’s down or not, our D can make a pedestrian QB looks great. I don’t see him struggling against the # 32 rated defense.

 

[BobDigital]

good to hear about Cody and Travis..

I am worried about butler being named a practice player of the week. Usually they name guys who are bottom of the roster players to that honor and i thought Butler was beyond that at this point.

 

[PatsBoy12]

I hope Cannon can play. I hope High only plays if the knee is a right as it can be. Sit him otherwise.
