lots of panthers cut today-Ford, Ordorff, Biz, Galambos,Webb. Surprised by Johnson and Biz getting cut.
Surprised when I saw the op. Found this. Said he struggled in camp.

Johnson and Biz were overrated ... too many times last year we struggled running the ball between the tackles.
Once again, a case where I think an outstanding and creative OC lifted all the boats of the players involved. These guys got a real bump by the hype our offense generated. But over the years, they were never particularly dominant.
So... someone help me out here.
Bam Bradley made the Ravens 53-man roster. Yet Pitt's illustrious DC Conklin started him in only 2 games last year... you know... because Pitt had so much talent at LB. Bam Bradley is good enough to make the roster on one of the best defenses in the NFL but can't start on one of the worst defenses in college football. Hmmm...

The amount of disrespect & ignorance is mindboggling. These young men made it to the final cut in he National Football League. I would luv to know if any of you who pass such critical judgment are as critical on yourselves, your children, etc. on the success or lack thereof in anything you do.....
IMO when any athlete is signed into a camp to compete to wear & represent the uniform of that city & franchise they are a bad MF'er.
It's not like Pitt is not competing in a premier conference.....we play in debatably the best conference in all of college football.
I know I played as long as someone thought I had something to offer & it ended entirely to soon for my liking because I luved being part of a team, competing, practicing, etc. The fact that these young men were asked to compete to play for money at the highest level & against the World's greatest football players is something that each & every one of them should be extremely proud regardless if they made the team or not.
H2 Pitt !!!

Galambos also miraculously looked to have a pulse with the Steelers, though not ultimately making the roster. My heavens, even Webb didn't look totally out of place.
Part of that definitely has to be a renewed sense of purpose by the players involved...the chance to play for real money (at schools like Bama, tOSU, etc they actually probably got paid higher than NFL rookies
. But it certainly suggests inadequate position coaching and coordinators...the guys who are the meat and potatoes in daily instruction with the players. Which has been pretty evident in both football and basketball.
The attitude is, damn, look what we have to pay these head coaches (which themselves tend to be below market rate), and they scrimp on the assistants. Hence the stooges who stumbled around Dixon near the painful end, and clowns like Matt House as Chryst's DC.
When we do get any good ones (by accident) like Canada, they naturally wish to be paid fairly... thus aren't retained. This is what destroyed Dixon and a big difference with our football program as well.
