Off to mini camp...

Thanks for the insight and news from the minicamp meatpile. It's nice to have a first hand report from time to time. I live in Spartanburg, so maybe I can return the favor from time to time during summer camp.

That'd be nice. It's hard for me to get down there.

Speaking of Foster:

9:17 PT: The Charlotte Observer reports the Carolina Panthers view rookie RB DeShaun Foster as their tailback of the future. However, because he's getting a late start this year due to missing workout time, Foster has some catching up to do. He's likely to open the year as the backup to Lamar Smith unless he has a spectacular start for the team. On the contract side of things, negotiations on a deal for Foster likely won't get serious until mid-July.

Wow....the Observer is really going out on a limb with that report aren't they? ;-)

I was at minicamp today too.....I agree with Meat, this kid Bright is a guy to keep an eye on. They also had him returning kicks and his quickness is impressive.

As far as Foster even though he is a bit behind he has looked good the past few times I've seen him, including today. I have even begun to wonder if Smith will be on the roster opening day. The only thing that may keep him there is his durability (as Meat pointed out to me today at practice).

I also liked what I saw of Dante Wesley. He tipped a pass beautifully today. Brad Franklin may be on a bit more shaky ground but he was a late round guy so unless he really stinks, he'll stay. At least for a while.
