-- The Panthers WR depth this camp is impressive. The guys who get cut are going to play elsewhere, and make plays.
WR Jason Carter, who spent last year on the practice squad, had the play of the weekend with his one-handed leaping catch to end the afternoon session. It drew roars from his teammates, and a life-in-your-own-hands chest bump with T Jeremy Bridges.
Carter's a playmaker, but he's going to have to fight for a job in a crowded field. Put Josh Davis and Chris Hannon in the same group.
As for the likely candidates to win jobs, Dwayne Jarrett has great hands. That's all.
-- Talked to Jordan Gross after the late practice about his move for an upcoming story. When asked how far apart he and the Panthers were on the money in a long-term deal, the franchise-tagged LT shrugged:
"Not terribly, ... it was just more we ran out of time."
I still think something happens before the July 15 deadline for this year, largely because he's their guy, they groomed him, and it's going to be hard to replace him without a first-round pick next year.
-- Also, anyone worried about LG Travelle Wharton shouldn't. He's going to be fine inside. During a one-on-one drill, he stood up DE Stanley McClover with ease, and if it wasn't for Carter's grab, it would have been the awe-inducing play of the day.
-- First fight, when LB Adam Seward and LG Milford Brown went at it. Won't be the last.
Wharton vs. McClover
Wharton stood up McClover with ease? Are you kidding me? If Wharton can do that, you're right, the Panthers are in good shape with him at guard because McClover is going to be a freaking beast.
